INSPIRE 1

The Inspire 1 is a professional aerial filmmaking and photography platform that is ready to ly 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. lls retractable landing gear pulls up orlt of view, giving the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world

DEOW.

An advanced flight conlroller makes the Inspire 1 stable, safe and easy to fly indoors or oul. The brand new Vision

Positioning System gives it the power to hover in position at low altitudes even withoul GPS. Ljke all DJI flight controllers,

It is also able to return home if remote controller signal is lost or if the low battery warning is lriggered.

The Inspire 1 boasts a maximum flight speed 22m/s' and a maximum flight time of 1 8 minutes* using one fully charged

4500mAh lntelligenl rlight Balrery.

Remote Controller

The maximum transnlission distance of the Inspire I remote controller is 2km-. The remote controller also allows Vou to

control the landing gear or activate Belurn 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 n, leltlng you see what your camera sees on your mobile 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 w reless

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

run time of approxjmately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the controller

. Calibrating the Compass:

Make sure to calibrate tne compass in every new flight location. The compass is very sensitve to electromagnetic interference,

which can caus abnoma compass data leading to poor flight performance or even failure. Fegular calibration is required for

optimum performance. Fecalibrate the compass when, a) The Aircraft Slatus Indicator ls blinkjng red and yellow b) Flyinq in a

new localion.

. DO NOI calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking

structures, and steel reinlorcements unde?ground

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

. DO NOT calibrate beside massive metal oblecls

. li the Flight Status LED is showing solid reci, then try to calibrate again. lf il is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing

the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic interference Change your locatron'

Home Point has been locked so that il can Return to Home if lhe

There are three states in P mode.

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

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

itrong. e-Oeft, lf GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the

Vlsion" 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 Positioning Systern may not work propeny wnen

the Inspire 1 is flying over waler, over surfaces without a clear patlern,

or in a low light environment.

When the GPS signal is strong, the aircrafl will be able to record a
