FAQ

Troubleshooting (FAQ)

1. How can I put a GoPro camera on the Inspire 1?

The Inspire 1 does not currently support GoPro attachments. The gimbal is designed to hold DJI 

cameras only. 

2. When will ground station functionality be available?

The Inspire 1 does not currently support ground station. Ground station will be available with future 

firmware updates. 

3. Is the camera’s exposure automatic?

The exposure can be set to Auto, for automatic changes, or Manual, if you wish to use a specific setting.

4. Can I see the size of images through the app?

Yes, you can preview image or video sizes through the DJI Pilot app. 

5. How much weight can the Inspire 1 carry without its included camera?

We do not recommend flying with any payload other than the included DJI gimbal and camera. 

6. Do you have an LCD monitor available for the Inspire 1?

video to a compatible monitor or mobile device of your own.

7. How long does it take to charge the battery? Does it comes with a charger?

Yes, all Inspire 1 units come with standard TB47 charger.

With the standard TB47 100W charger, it takes 85min to fully charge a 4500mAh battery.

8. Are the two remote controllers the same? Should I setup the remote controllers in the app or

somewhere else to control the camera and aircraft separately?

The two remote controllers are physically identical. You can set the remote controllers to either "Master" 

or "Slave" through the DJI Pilot app if you wish to use dual controller mode. 

9. Where can I find info on the simulation application that plugs into the trainer port? Can you suggest a

simulation program?

There is no trainer port on the remote controller for the Inspire 1.

10. Can the mobile device holder be used on the Phantom 2 series remote controller?

No, it cannot. The mobile device holder can only be used with the Inspire 1 remote.

11. Does the Inspire 1 have a SD card included?

The Inspire 1 comes with a 16GB micro-SD card. It supports SD cards up to 64GB.

12. Can I upgrade and buy a second remote controller if I only buy a single remote controller now?

Yes.

Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC)

IOC allows users to lock the orientation of aircraft in different fashions. There are three working modes for 

IOC and you may select the desired IOC modes from the DJI Pilot app. IOC only works under F mode, 

and user must toggle the flight mode switch to “F” mode to activate IOC. Refer to the table below:

Course Lock (CL) Its forward direction is pointing to the nose direction when recording, which is 

fixed until you re-record it or exit from CL.

Home Lock (HL)* Record a Home Point (HP), and push Pitch stick to control the aircraft far from 

or near to the HP. 

Point of Interest (POI)* Point of Interest. Record a point of interest (POI), the aircraft can circle around 

the POI, and the nose always points to the POI.

*Home Lock and Point of Interest feature are coming soon.

Prerequisites of IOC

Use the IOC feature under the following condition: 

Modes IOC GPS enabled GPS Flight Distance Limits

Course Lock No None None

Home Lock Yes Aircraft ≥10m Home Point

POI Yes Aircraft 5m~500m Point of Interest

Using IOC

Enable the IOC feature by tapping “Enable IOC” in the setting page of the DJI Pilot app. Toggle the Flight 

Mode Switch to “F” mode and follow the on-screen instruction to use IOC feature.

How to Update Firmware

Follow the process described below to upgrade the aircraft, remote controller and battery.

Updating the Aircraft Firmware

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

Ensure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least 50% power and there is at least 100MB of free space on 

the SD card.

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package

1. Download the firmware update package from the official DJI website (http://www.dji.com/product/

inspire-1).

2. Insert the SD into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SD card. 

Remove the SD card from your PC. Ensure the Inspire 1 is powered off then insert the SD card into the 

SD card slot on the Inspire 1 camera.

Step 3- Update the Aircraft

1. Ensure the remote controller is powered off and then power on the aircraft. Upgrade will begin 

automatically after aircraft is powered on. 

2. It will take approximately 25 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a short 

pulse of "D-D-D-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgrade is in progress and sound a “D---DD” 

beeping sound to indicate the update is complete with success.

3. Check the upgrade status by opening the “.txt” file that is automatically generated after the update. 

The update is successful if the text “result: successful” is in the document. Try upgrading the firmware 

again if the text “result: failed” is found or the gimbal sound a long beep sound.

Updating the Remote Controller Firmware

Step 1- Check Battery and SD Card Capacity

Remote controller firmware is included in the aircraft firmware update package. Use the same update 

package file that is downloaded from the DJI official website. Ensure the remote controller battery level is 

above 50%. 

Step 2- Prepare the Firmware Update Package

1. Extract all downloaded files into the root directory of an SD card or USB thumb drive. 

2. Insert the SD card into a SD card reader or the USB disk onto the remote controller USB port when 

remote controller powered off. If you do not have a SD card reader, you may insert the SD card into 

the gimbal and connect the gimbal with remote controller to upgrade the remote controller.

Step 3- Update the Remote Controller

1. Power on the remote controller and wait 60 seconds until the upgrade begins. Do not power off the 

remote controller during the update.

2. It will take approximately 10 minutes to complete the firmware update. The camera will sound a 

beeping sound and the Status LED on the remote controller shows solid blue to indicate the update is 

in progress. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid green and beeping sound will stop if the 

upgrade is completed with success. The Status LED on remote controller shows solid red if upgrade is 

failed. Try upgrade again.

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware 

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft firmware upgrade process. It is recommended 

to keep the upgrade package files in your SD card. The upgrade will start automatically after power 

cycling the aircraft.

Do not perform firmware update while the aircraft is still flying in the air. Only carry out firmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

Be sure to update the remote controller’s firmware to the latest version after you upgrade the aircraft’s 

firmware.

The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote 

controller and aircraft.

Confirm the update results according to the gimbal sounds. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the 

LED to blink during the update process. 

Ensure there is only one firmware package file stored on your SD card.
