FAQ

Troubleshooting (FAQ)

1. How can I put a GoPro camera on the Inspire 1?

The Inspire 1 does not currently support GoPro attachments. The gimbal is designed to hold DJI 

cameras only. 

2. When will ground station functionality be available?

The Inspire 1 does not currently support ground station. Ground station will be available with future 

firmware updates. 

3. Is the camera’s exposure automatic?

The exposure can be set to Auto, for automatic changes, or Manual, if you wish to use a specific setting.

4. Can I see the size of images through the app?

Yes, you can preview image or video sizes through the DJI Pilot app. 

5. How much weight can the Inspire 1 carry without its included camera?

We do not recommend flying with any payload other than the included DJI gimbal and camera. 

6. Do you have an LCD monitor available for the Inspire 1?

video to a compatible monitor or mobile device of your own.

7. How long does it take to charge the battery? Does it comes with a charger?

Yes, all Inspire 1 units come with standard TB47 charger.

With the standard TB47 100W charger, it takes 85min to fully charge a 4500mAh battery.

8. Are the two remote controllers the same? Should I setup the remote controllers in the app or 

somewhere else to control the camera and aircraft separately?

The two remote controllers are physically identical. You can set the remote controllers to either "Master" 

or "Slave" through the DJI Pilot app if you wish to use dual controller mode. 

9. Where can I find info on the simulation application that plugs into the trainer port? Can you suggest a

simulation program?

There is no trainer port on the remote controller for the Inspire 1.

10. Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series remote controller?

No, it cannot. The mobile device holder can only be used with the Inspire 1 remote.

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)

IOC allows users to lock the orientation of aircraft in different fashions. There are three working modes for 

IOC and you may select the desired IOC modes from the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works under F mode, 

and user must toggle the flight mode switch to “F” mode to activate IOC. Refer to the table below:

Course Lock (CL) Its forward direction is pointing to the nose direction when recording, which is 

fixed until you re-record it or exit from CL.

Home Lock (HL)* Record a Home Point (HP), and push Pitch stick to control the aircraft far from 

or near to the HP. 

Point of Interest (POI)* Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POI), the aircraft can circle around 

the POI, and the nose always points to the POI.

*Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon.

Prerequisites of IOC

Use the IOC feature under the following condition: 

Modes IOC GPS enabled GPS Flight Distance Limits

Course Lock No None None

Home Lock Yes Aircraft ≥10m Home Point

POI Yes Aircraft 5m~500m Point of Interest

Using IOC

Enable the IOC feature by tapping “Enable IOC” in the setting page of the DJI Pilot app. Toggle the Flight 

Mode Switch to “F” mode and follow the on-screen instruction to use IOC feature.

How to Update Firmware

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery.

Updating the Aircraft Firmware

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100 MB of free space on 

the SD card.

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/

phantom-3/download).

2. Insert the SD card into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SD card. 

Remove the SD card from your PC. Ensure the aircraft is powered off then insert the SD card into the 

SD card slot on the camera.

Step 3- Update the Aircraft

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera status indicator 

will blink green and red to indicate the upgrade is in progress and stop blinking when the update is 

complete with success. 

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the “.txt” file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text “result: successful” is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text “result: failed” is found or the camera status indicator shows solid red.

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware

Ensure the DJI GO app has been updated to v1.2.0 before updating the remote controller. The 

System Status bar in Camera View of the DJI GO App will flash several times if a firmware update is 

available. Follow these steps to update the firmware via the DJI GO App.

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

1. The remote controller has at least 50% battery level.

2. Your mobile device is able to access the internet.

3. There is at least 30 MB of free space on your mobile device.

Step 2- Download and Update the Firmware

1. Go to the DJI GO App > Camera View > System Status bar > Overall Status. Tap Download the 

firmware update package to download and update the firmware. Track the update progress from 

progress bar in the DJI GO App. The status LED on the remote controller will blink blue during update 

and blink green when update is complete with success.

Firmware update through the DJI GO app will not work with older versions of the remote controller 

firmware. If the firmware update fails, follow the instructions below to update the firmware using the 

traditional method:

a. Update the latest firmware package files from DJI official web site.

FCC Compliance

FCC Compliance

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired 

operation.

Changes or modifications not expressly roved by the party responsible for compliance could void the 

user's authority to operate the equipment.

b. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SD card or USB flash drive.

c. Turn off the remote controller, Insert the SD card into a SD card reader or the USB disk onto the 

remote controller USB port when remote controller is turned off. 

d. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off 

the remote controller during the update.

e. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound 

a beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the 

update is in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping 

sound will stop if the upgrade is completed with success.

f . If you do not have a SD card reader, you may insert the SD card into the gimbal and connect the 

gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller.

You will only be able to update the remote controller firmware through the DJI GO app from 

this point onwards. 

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware 

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft firmware upgrade process. It is recommended 

to keep the upgrade package files in your SD card. The upgrade will start automatically after power 

cycling the aircraft.

Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SD card.

Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for 

aircraft and remote controller firmware updates. 

Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the firmware 

update package.

Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the firmware, as any incoming 

calls may disrupt the update process.

Do not perform firmware update while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

Be sure to update the remote controller’s firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the 

aircraft’s firmware.

The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote 

controller and aircraft.

Confirm the update results based on the blinking pattern of camera status indicator or gimbal 

sound. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the LED to blink during the update process.
