Rfght-Corltrolter 

The Inspire 1 Pro's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such 

as new t~ght mode and new sale mode. Three sale modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and 

Dynamic Home Point. These features 811SUre the sale return of your aircraft If the control signal is lost. A 

flight recorder stores Cn.JCial flight data tor each flight 

.·Flight-Mode 

Three flight modes are available. The details of ea~h flight mode are found in the sedion below 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS s1gnal is strong. There are three different states of 

P mode, which will be autr;rnatically seleoted by the Inspire 1 Pro depending on GPS aignal strength and 

Vision Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are availab~. and the aircraft is using GPSfor positioning. 

P-OPTI· Vision Positioning Is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hoveling 

P-A TTl: Neith€r GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only 1ts barometer for positioning, 

so only altilude is controlled 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vis1on Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. H it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can autc:mati~ally 

retum horne ~the Remote Controller signal is lost and ~the Horne Point has been re~orded suc~esstully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent On'entat1on Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more irlformation 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

~ Use the R1ght Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

MoOO SWitch" on P29 for more information.

YiSlon PoSitioning System 

DJI Vision Posit,oning is a pos1tioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help tile aircraft 

idenljfy its current pDSihon. With the help of Vision Posi~oning, your Inspire 1 Pro c:an hover in plooe 

more precisely and fiy indoors or tn other environments where thera IS flO GPS stgnal available. 1hs 1T1ain 

components of DJI Vtsion Positioning are located on tile bottom of your lnsp~re 1 Pm, including [ 1]two 

sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera. 

Using Vision Posttiooing 

Vision Positioning is activated autcrnatically when the Inspire 1 Pro is powered on. No manual action is 

required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indcor environment where no GPS is available. By 

using tile sensors on the Vis1on Positioning system, Inspire 1 Pro can perform p.-ec1sion hovering ~ven 

when no GPS is available_ 

l ( 
INSPIRE I PRO User Manual 

Follow the steps below to use Vision P<lsitioning: 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the Iigurs to the right 

2. Place the lnsptre 1 Pro on a llat surface. Notice that the Vision Positiomng 

system cannot work property on surfaces withoiJI pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1 Pro. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green 

Hght, which indicates the Vision Posibon1ng system is ready. Gently push the 

throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 Pro win hover in place. 

& The performance of your Inspire 1 Pro's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. The ultrasoniC waves may not be able to accuratet\1 measure lhe distance over sound 

absorbing materials. and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "'P" mode to "A" mode automaticalty if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are no! available. So operal8 the aircraft cautrously when in any of the followmg slli.iations: 

• Flying over monochrome surfaws (e.g. pure black. pure white, pure red. pure green). 

• Rying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Rying at high speeds (over Sm.'s at 2maters or over 4m/s at 1 metsr). 

• Ftylng over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Fly!ng over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Rytng in an area where the light1ng changes frequently or drastically. 

• Flyir.;J ()lfflr extremely dark (lux< 10) Of bright (lux > 1(\ COO) surfaces. 

• Ry1ng over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Flying over surfaces withollt clear pettems or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating pattams or textures (e.g. Illes with same design). 

• Flying over inchned surfaces !hat will deflect sound waves away from lha aircraft 

• In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land ff it is in ""P"" mode. 

·:\1 • Keep the sensors clean at all tines. 0~ cr otf>3r detris m!l)' adversely affect the ef!ectrveness 

of the sensors. 

• The affecti"" hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from o to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system may fiOi function properly when the aircraft is flying over wal8r. 

• Vision Posit1oning system may not 00 able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1001ux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Posit1oning system 1s 

in operation. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the 

ground (below0.5 meters) in fsstspeed. 

0 Keep the animels away from the aircraft when Vision Position1ng system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals.

LOW Temperature Notice: 

t. The performance at the intelligent Flight Battery is significantly reduced when !ly1ng in a low 

temperature environments (those With air temperatures beloW 5°C). Ensure that th€ batter)/ iS fully 

charged and the cell voltage is at 4.35 V before each flight. 
IMSPIRE I PRO User Manual 

2. Using the Intelligent Flight Battery in extremely low temperature enwonments (those with air 

temperatures below ·10°C) is not recommended. When flying on envoronments with temperatures 

between 5"C and -10'C, the Intelligent Flight Battery should be able to achieve the appropriste voltage 

levels (above 4.21/), but it is re~001mended that you apply the included insulation sti~ker to the battery 

in order to prevent a rapid drop in temperatures. 

3. If the DJI GO app displays the "Criti~al Low Battery Level Warning" when flying in kJw temperature 

environments. stop flying and land the rurcraft ommediately. You >Mil still be able to control the aircraft's 

movement when this warning is trigg€ffid. 

4. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery in a room temperature environment and ensure that its temperature 

exceeds 5'C Detore Using it in the low temperature envoronment. 

5. When using the Inspire 1 Pro in a low temperature envirorlmerlt, begon by allowing the aircraft to hover 

at a low attitude, for approximately one minute, to heat the battery. 

6. To ansure optimum performance, keep the Intelligent F~ghl Battery's core temperature above 20"C 

when on use. 

,&. In cold environments, insert the battery onto the battery crnlpartment and allow the aircraft to 

warm up for approximalaly 1-2minutes before taking off.
