INSPIRE 1 

The Inspire 1 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 Vsion 

Positioning System gives it the powerto 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.

Remote Controller 

The maximum transmission distance of the Inspire 1 remote controller Is 2km'. The remote controller also allows you to 

control the landing gear or activate Return to Home with a tap. Other buttons allow instant photo capture, video recording, 

picture review and gimbal control. 

A DJI Lightbridge-based HD video downlink is built-in, letting you see what your camera sees on your mobile device in 

real time HD. The app also allows you to change oamera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person can 

fly vfiile other controls the gimbal independently. The master and slave controllers communicate using a 5.8Ghz wireless 

signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters.The controller's LiPo battery has a maximum 

run time of approximately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the oontroller. 
Fly Safe 

• Calibrating the Compass 

Make sure to calibrate the compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electroniagnetic interference, 

which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for 

optimum pertormance. Recalibrate the eompass when: a) The Aircraft Status Indicator is blinldrtg red and yellow. b) Flying in a 

new bcation. 

• DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking 

structures, and steei reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or celluler phones. 

• DO NOT c.alibrate beside massive metal objects. 

• If the Right Status LED is showing solid red, then try to calibrate again, If it Is blinldng red and yellow alternately after placing 

the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location. 

• P Mode: 

Safe to fly. In this mode, the Inspire 1 has a strong GPS signal and 

can use the Vision Posttioning System allowing it to hover accurately 

in position indoors and out. If outdoors, this mode also means that a 

Home Point has been locked so that it can Retum to Home 'rf the 

control signal is lost. 

If you are not in this mode, toggle the Right 

p Mode Switch to P position to enable it. 

~ The Flight Mode Switch is Iocked in P mode by default. 

Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the svritch. 

There are three states in P mode. 

P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors in a wide open area, and 

your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS signal is 

strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the 

Vision Positioning System to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Neither 

GPS or Vision Positioning System available, aircraft is using only 

fts barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 

Note that the Vdon Positionirg System may not work properly wtien 

the Inspire 1 is tlying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattem, 

or in a low light env'vonment.

• Flight Limits: 

The Inspire 1 Is not permitted to fly within no-fly zones as specified ❑~ g 0 

by local laws and regulations. Please visit here: 

~ 

http://www.dji.com/fty-safefor more information. 

• Environmental Considerations: 

1. Do not fly in severe weather conditions. This includes high wind, snow, rain and smog. 

2.Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affectthe accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS signat. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including moblle 

phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful wtien 

flyirlg 14700 feet (4500 nieters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft performance may be reduced. 

6.The Inspire 1 cannot operate in P mode or use GPS at polar latitudes. It only can fly in ATTI mode and use the Vis'lon Positioning System.
