# 1 The Inspire



# I

is

a professional

aerial filmmaking

and photography

platform

that

is ready

to

fly right

out

of the box. Featuring an onboard

camera equipped

with

a 20mm

lens

and 3-axis stabilized

gimbal,

it shoots

sharp

12mp

stills

and stable

video

at up

to 4K.

Its retractable

landing

gear

pulls

up

out

of view,

giving

the camera

an unobstructed

360 degree

view

of the world below. An advanced

flight controller

makes

the Inspire

1 stable,

safe

and

easy

to

fly indoors

or out.

The brand

new Vision Positioning

System

gives

it the power

to hover

in position

at low altitudes

even without

GPS.

Like

all DJI flight controllers, it

is also

able

to return

home

if remote controller

signal

is lost

or

if the

low battery warning

is triggered. The Inspire

1 boasts

a maximum

flight speed 22m/s*

and

a maximum

flight

time

of

18 minutes*

using

one

fully charged 4500mAh

Intelligent

Flight Battery.
