# Q. Vision Positioning System**~** DJI Vision Positioning is a positioning system that uses ultrasonic and image data to help the aircraft identify its current position. With the help of Vision Positioning, your Inspire 1 can hover in place more precisely and fly indoors or in other environments where there is no GPS signal available. The main components of DJI Vision Positioning are located on the 

### bottom of your Inspire 1 , including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 is powered on. No manual action is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 can perfomn precision hovering even when no GPS is available.

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

### to the

ground {below 0.5 meters) in fast speed. 

# 0 Keep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar sensor emits high frequency sound that is only audible to some animals. 

## Flight Recorder Flight data is automatically stored in the intemal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access 

### to these data tihrough the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status information, speed, and other parameters.

When both sticks are centered, the Inspire 1will hover in place. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the Inspire 1will change elevation. Always push the stick gently to prevent sudden and unexpected elevation changes. Moving the left stick to the left or right controls the rudder and rotation of the aircraft. Push the sick left to rotate the aircraft counter clock-wise, and push the stick right to rotate the aircraft clockwise. If the stick is centered, the Inspire 1will stay facing its current direction. The more the stick is pushed away from the center position, the faster the Inspire 1will rotate. Moving the right stick up and down changes the aircraft's forward and backward pitch. Push the stick up to fly forward and down to fly backward. The Inspire 1will hover in place if the stick is centered. Push the stickfurther awayfrom the center**pos~bn**
