# INSPIRE 1

The Inspire 1 is a professional aerial flmmaking 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.

# 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 moblle device in real time HD. The app also allows you to change camera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person can fly while 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 controller.

# Fly Safe

• Calibrating the Compass: Make sure to calibrate the compass in every 

### new flight location. The compass is very sensitive to electromagnetic interference, which can cause abnormal compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. Recalibrate the compass when: a) The Arcraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. b) Flying in a new location. • DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground. • DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as keys or cellular phones. • DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal objects. • If the Flight Status LED is showing solid red, then try to calibrate again. If it is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference. Change your location.


### 0 P Mode: Safe to fly. In this mode, the Inspire 1 has a strong GPS signal and c,an use the Vlsion PosHioning System allovving'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 Return to Home 'If the control signal is lost.



# ~ If you are not in this mode, toggle the Flight

p 

### Mode Switch to P position to enable it.

The Flight Mode Switch is locketl in P mode by default. Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the switch.
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 its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. Note that the Vision Posi[ioning System mey not work properly when the Inspire 1 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment. ~~p~o riiip ~

### • Return to Home: When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will be able to record a Home Point and return to the Home Point when needed. The GPS location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the DJI Pilot app is either yellow or green. The aircraft will retum to the Home Point automatically in the followng cases (all require a strong GPS signaq. Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the remote controller or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The DJI Pilot app notifies users to take action v+hten the battery level falls to a specified threshold. Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost. 

# ® • While retuming home, its affHutle can be adjusted by the userto avoitl obsbucgons. Tall buildings may aRecl the remote controller signal. The Failsafe Retum to Home procedure will be triggered if the signal Is Io.sL Be sure fly highertlian any nearby buildings to avoid croshing. 

### 0 Flight Limits The Inspire 1 is not permitted to fly within no-fly zones as specified 

# ~ by local laws and regulations. Please visit here: http://flysafe.dji.00m/no-fly for 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 stmctures may affect the accuracy of the onboard compass and GPS signal. 3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, hlgh voltage power 

### lines, trees or bodies of water. 4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 5. Aircmft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and temperature. Be very careful when flying 14700 feet (4500 meters) 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 Vision Positioning System.5.725 GHz-5.825 GHz 2.400 GHz-2.483 GHz

If you have purchased an Inspire 1 with dual remote controllers, the Master remote controller will connect to the aircraft automatically when powered on. Master/Slave mode is disabled by default. Activate it and set it up through the DJI Pilot app. The Master remote controller's Status LED will show solid green when it connected to the aircraft. The Slave remote controller's Status LED will show solid blue when it is cwnnected to the Master controller. Connecting the Master remote controller to the Slave remote controller: On the Master remote controller, launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the Camera page. Then tap m°, i ill on the top of your screen to enter the remote controller settings window. Tap "Activate Master/Slave Mode"and select "Master". Then enter your desired connection password for the "Slave" remote controller. On the Slave remote controller, select "Slave " and tap "Search" to find the Master remote controller. Select the "Master" remote controller from the "Master RC List" and input the connection password.

Before taking off, make sure the aircraft status bar in the DJI Pilot app shows "Safe to Fy (GPS)". Otherwise, the aircraft cannot hover in place and record the Home Point. 

### • Auto Taking - Off & Landing: ( In the Camera screen of the DJI Pilot app ) Tap ® and confirm your selection. The aircrafi will automatically take off, retract its landing gear, and hover at 1.5 meters afteryou tap and confirm Auto Take-off. Tap ® and confirm your seleclion. The landing gear will lower and the aircraft will automatically land.


### • Manual Take - off & Landing, Start the motors by pulling both control sticks to the bottom inside (or outside) corners. Release the sticks once the motors start. Slowly push the left (throttle) stick up to take off. Once in the air, toggle the Transformation Switch up to raise the landing gear. Toygle the Transformatlon Start / Stop the motors

# A • It is highly recommendetl that you only take off when the Aircraft Status bar is green. • The aircraft cannot take off if the Critical Low Batlery Warning is active. • The Intelligent Flight Batlery must warm-up if the outside temperature is low. A warning will display in the DJI Pilot app. • Rotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when there are people nearby and always fly in a wide open area. • Never stop the motors tluring flight. Power off the aircraft prior to switching off the remote controller after landing.
