INSPIRE 1 

The Inspire 1 is a professional aerial filmmaking and photography platform that is ready to fty right out of the box. Featuring 

an onboard camera equipped with a 20mm lens and 3-axis stab~ized gimbal, it shoots sharp 12mp stills and stable video at 

up to 4K. ~s retractable landing gear pulls up out of view, giving the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the wodd 

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 tully charged 

4500mAh Jntelligent Right 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 Ughtbridge-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 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 usin(l a 5.8Ghz wireless 

signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters. The controller's UPo 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 eVf'l:'j 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 Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. b) Flying in a 

new location. 

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

structures, and steel reinforcements underground. 

• DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials wtth you during caUbration 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 tt is bUnking red and yellow a~ernately after placing 

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

• PMode: 

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

can use the VISion Posttioning System allowing ft to hover accurately 

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

Home Point has been locked so that tt can Retum to Home if the 

control signal is lost. 

B If you are not in this mode, toggle the Flight 

Mode Swttch to P position to enable it. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. 

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

Thare are three states in P mode. 

GPS Positioning 

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 Posttioning System to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Netther 

GPS or Vision Positioning System available, aircraft is using only 

its barometer for posttioning, so only altitude is controlled. 

t~~ Vi~ion Positioning 

'Q.:.;:.; Att1tude 2.5 m 

Note that the Vision Posttioning System may not work properly when 

the Inspire 1 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, 

or in a low Ugh! environment. 

• Return to Home: 

,. 

I 

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 

etther yellow or green. 

The aircraft will raturn to the Home Point automatically in the following 

cases (all require a strong GPS signal). 

Smart RTH: Whan you press the RTH button on the remote controHer 

or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The DJI Pilat app notifies users to take 

action when the battery level falls to a specified threshold. 

Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost. 

• While returning home,lts altitude can be adjusted by the .-to avoid obstructions. Tall building$ may affect the....- conln!ller signal. 

The Failsafe Retum to Home procedum will be biggered W the signal Is lost Be sure fly higher than any l1l!31l>y buildings to avoid crashing. 

• Flight Limits: 

The Inspire 1 is not permftted to fly within no-fly zones as specified 

by local laws and regulations. Please visit here: 

http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly for more information. B . 

. 

• 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 affect the accuracy of the onboard compass arid GPS signaL 

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 mobile 

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 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. I! only can fly in A TTl mode and use the Vision PosttioningSystem.
