Overview: 

I, Kevin Kieran Gallagher, of 36 South Kerema Avenue Milford, CT 06460, hereby petition the FAA for an exemption from various sections of 49 USC of Federal Aviation 

Regulations. 

I am the owner of Stonetower Photo of 36 South Kerema Avenue, Milford CT 06460; 

and I will be the Pilot in Charge of all aerial photography and videography, following approval of this request. 

Pursuant to Section 333 of the FAA Modernization and Reform Act of 2012, Public Law 

112-95, I request certain exemptions in order to conduct commercial aerial photography 

and videography (henceforth meaning still and/or video) of real properties (real estate) 

operating a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and a DJI Inspire 1 unmanned aerial systems. 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ consists of four DC motors with rotors, powered by a DJI 

5200mAH LiPo battery, and managed by an on board flight control system that is remotely accessed by the Pilot in Charge using a portable control unit. 

The DJIInspire 1 consists of four DC motors with rotors, powered by a DJI 4500mAh 

22.2V LiPo battery, and managed by an on board flight control system that is also remotely accessed by the Pilot in Charge using a portable control unit. 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ remote control unit is a wireless communication device using a 5.728 GHz- 5.85 GHz frequency band. The DJIInspire 1 remote control unit uses 

a 5.725-5.825 frequency band. Both frequencies are approved by the FCC for limitedrange communication purposes. 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ has a maximum takeoff weight of 21bs. 11.8oz. including battery 

and propellers. This UAV has a top speed of 35 mph. For my purposes, the top speed 

need not exceed 17 mph. The manufacturer, DJI, regularly updates software and firmware. 

The DJI Inspire 1 has a maximum takeoff weight of 61bs. 7 .5oz. including battery and 

propellers. This UAV has a top speed of 49 mph. Again, for my purposes, the top speed 

need not exceed 17 mph. The manufacturer, DJI, regularly updates software and firmware.

As a licensed pilot and professional photographer, I am extremely sensitive and aware 

of the importance of safety and privacy. I believe safety is the first and overriding priority 

in regards to operating a UAV in the National Airspace. Additionally, I would not operate 

a UAV in a manner as to invade the privacy of anyone unaware of our flight intentions. 

I, Kevin Kieran Gallagher, will only use the UAV in daytime and only to enhance real estate marketing for realtors in Connecticut showing views of properties currently unattainable by still or aviation photography. I will operate the UAVs in a safe manner, using 

the following pre-flight checklist and operating procedures to determine that the aircraft 

is physically and electronically ready for safe flight and that permission from the property owner/representative/business owner is received. 

Pre-flight Checklist (DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJIInspire 1): 

• If required, notify the appropriate FAA facility of our launch schedule and location. 

• Survey the property for hazards - trees, utility poles and other elements that might 

compromise the flight, then make a judgment as to whether to proceed. 

• Check the weather for wind speed, cloud cover, and any forecast changes that might 

adversely affect flight safety and performance. 

• Examine the aircraft - looking at connections and searching for cracks and/or loose 

parts. 

• Determine that the electronic elements are performing correctly (receiving more than 

six GPS signals along with calibration of the magnetic compass. 

• Determine that the barometric altimeter reflects approximately 0 feet AGL. 

• Following takeoff, I will hover at an altitude of approximately 10 feet AGL to assure the 

Home Point is marked. 

• I will exercise all controls to confirm their functionality - if one of the controls is not 

functioning, the flight will be terminated immediately. 

• I will fly only with a Visual Observer (VO) at my side who will provide a second set of 

eyes to assist in observing possible flight hazards and help assure the UAV remains in 

Visual Line of Sight (VLOS) of PIC. Since purchase of the Phantom 2 Vision+!lnspire 

1, all training and skill improvement flights have been with the same VO. 

• I will not fly over or near dense automobile traffic or crowds. 

• I will give right-of-way to any manned aircraft. 

• I will stay clear of FAA controlled airspace at airports (generally a five nautical mile radius) as well as restricted and prohibited zones. 
\ 

/ 

\, 

J 

) 

) 

) 

\ 

/ 

\ 

J 

) 

• I will fly no higher than 400' AGL and no further than 1 000' from the Home Point, recognizing that the primary responsibility is to keep the aircraft safely within VLOS. 

• I will stay clear of clouds and fog (500' vertically and 2,000' horizontally). 

• I will perform a post-flight check of the UAV to determine its physical and electronic 

condition. 

Operating Procedures: 

• After receiving permission from the property owner/representative/business owner, I 

will notify all adjacent property owners/business owners of our intentions and anticipated time on site. 

• I will not fly over neighboring properties unless permission is granted. 

• I will keep individuals not involved in the flight at a safe distance (500' feet if practical). 

• I will post a sign stating: "Take Notice: Aerial Photography Under Way- Stay Clear''. 

Altitude, distance from the PIC, airspeed, and battery state-of-charge are data constantly viewable on the On-Screen-Display (OSD), which is equivalent to an aircraft's 

control panel. I maintain that the above checklist and procedures will minimize risks to 

property and persons on the ground as well as other aircraft in the National Airspace. 

As this writing, I have practiced extensively in the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJI Inspire 1, accumulating approximately 30-35 combined hours of flight time. I continue to 

train on both UAVs. I have exercised all functions in both UAVs and fly only when 

weather conditions permit. 

I have a private pilot license, #45460277, issued on September 28, 1980. I am fully 

aware and have extensive knowledge of VFR flight rules. I will mark the aircraft with 

necessary "N" number the FAA requires. 

Exemption Requests: 

14CFR 

Part 21 Airworthiness Certification 

Subpart H "prescribes the procedural requirements for issuing and changing design 

approval, production approval, airworthiness certificates and airworthiness approval." 

(Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11) 
) 

)

Response: "The Secretary of Transportation has determined that this aircraft meets the 

conditions of Section 333. Therefore, the FAA finds that the requested relief from 14 

CFR part 21, and any associated noise certification and testing requirements of part 36, 

is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 11) 

Part 61 (a}(b) Parts, General Operating and Flight Rules 

(a) Prescribes the requirements for issuing pilot licenses and the privileges and limitations associated with various ratings. 

(b) Aeronautical experience means pilot time, flight simulator or flight training device for 

meeting the appropriate training and flight time requirements for an airman certificate. 

Response: Organized or commercially available FAA-approved flight training has yet to 

be achieved by the UAV industry. While I have regularly used a flight simulator on my 

computer, those skills are generally not transferable to UAV operation. My sources of 

training are: the Flight Instruction Manuals from DJI; online videos from the manufacturer as well as videos from users; and most importantly, personal training in a secure 

location - an open area not subject to traffic and/or uninvolved individuals. Those training flights, which have averaged 10-15 minutes each, deal with setup, physical and 

electronic safety checks; lift off followed by hovering at approximately 10 feet to confirm 

that the GPS system is functioning properly and has registered its Home Point; a prescribed flight plan to familiarize and then master the fight controls and camera; returning 

to the launch point and landing. I then conduct a post-flight inspection for any problems, 

log the location and flight time and then view the video. There are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified study guides available at this time as the technology continues 

to develop. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

§91.1 03 (b }(2) 

(b)(2) This section deals the pilot's preparations for flight, in particular runway lengths, 

takeoff and landing distance information. 

Response: Since quadcopters, like a helicopter, take off and land vertically, a DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJIInspire 1 pilot would not need to know this information since there are 

no runways involved and the return from flight is the takeoff point. The FAA has determined that "relief is not necessary." (Summation from Exemption No. 11138, page 20)

§ 91.105 

Summary: This section deals with flight crewmembers at stations. 

Response: Since there are no passengers, pilots or crewmembers, I respectfully request relief from this regulation. 

§ 91.109 

Summary: This sections deals with flight instruction, simulated instrument flight and 

certain flight tests. 

Response: None of these functions are applicable to a quad-copter flight and, as stated 

earlier, there are no FAA certified instructors or FAA certified study guides available at 

this time for small UAV operation. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

§ 91.119 (a) (b) (c) 

Summary: This section deals with minimum safe altitude stating that if the power fails 

anywhere, an aircraft should have an altitude sufficient so that an emergency landing 

can occur without hazard to persons or property (91.119 a). It also sets minimum altitudes over congested areas and uncongested areas as well as has a paragraph on 

helicopters (91.119 b). It also sets minimum distance (500 feet) from any person, vessel, 

vehicle, or structure (91.119 c). 

Response: None of the altitude requirements in this regulation should apply to a UAV 

since these aircraft are required to fly below those altitudes. Their weight, speed and 

GPS-controlled Return to Home feature mitigates against a catastrophic accident. A 

manned aircraft is much heavier and larger than a OJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJIInspire 1. 

If a Phantom 2 Vision+/DJI Inspire 1 were to malfunction or experience a hard landing, it 

carries no humans, no explosive fuel and since it flies primarily over a single piece of 

private property, any damage would likely be minimal and confined to that area. As to 

keeping 500' from any person, vessel, vehicle or structure, the purpose of real estate 

quad-copter photography is to fly close to the subject structures with the permission of 

the owner/representative. I maintain that my 30-35 hours flying the OJI Phantom 2 

Vision+/DJIInspire 1 have provided me with sufficient skills to manage safely any approach under 500 feet. In addition, access to the property is strictly controlled (Warning 

sign and the clearing of any person on the property not involved in the flight). I respectfully request an exemption from this rule.

§ 91.121 

Summary: This section details altimeter settings required to maintain the "cruising altitude or flight level of that aircraft." It requires that the "elevation of the departure airport" 

be set in the altimeter or the "current reported altimeter setting of a station along the 

route and within 100 miles of the aircraft". 

Response: A UAV cannot comply fully with this section's altitude requirements. The OJI 

Phantom 2 Vision+/DJI Inspire 1 is equipped with a barometric altimeter which automatically calculates the takeoff altitude (0 AGL) when the aircraft is warmed up - the 

launch point becomes the "elevation of the departure" point. The altitude of the UAV is 

visible in the control monitor (a smart phone or OSD) by the PIC before launch and is 

consistently updated as the flight progresses. I respectfully request an exemption from 

this rule. 

§ 91.151 

Summary: This section deals with fuel requirements for VFR flights stating, among 

other things, that "no person may begin a flight in an airplane under VFR condition 

unless .. .there is enough fuel to fly to the first point of the intended landing and, " .. .fly after that for at least 40 minutes (day) and 45 minutes (night)". 

Response: This regulation deals with 'reserve' fuel. This could include any condition 

that increases flight time or fuel consumption. Weather would be one factor including 

wind, turbulence and the necessity to divert around threatening thunderstorms. Compliance with this regulation is not possible because the 'fuel" on board the OJI Phantom 2 

Vision+/DJIInspire 1 is not aviation gas but a DC battery with a maximum flight duration 

of 17/18 minutes respectfully. Fuel management of an UAV requires constant monitoring 

of the battery's state-of-charge and bringing it home before it reaches the manufacturers 

recommended 30% level. In our training flights, we've found that a flight of 17 minutes 

for the OJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and 18 minutes for the OJI Inspire 1 to be safe, returning 

the UAV to its Home Point around the 40% level. I respectfully request an exemption 

from this rule.

§ 91.405 

Summary: This section deals with aircraft maintenance including regular inspection, the 

keeping of appropriate maintenance records and replacement of inoperable instruments 

Response: Maintenance on the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJI Inspire 1 is straight forward. 

If, in landing, a rotor blade or two are damaged, they are immediately replaced. The traditional instrument cluster in an aircraft is replaced by a data stream from the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJIInspire 1, visible in the control monitor (smart phone or OSD). Replacement of minor parts are performed by the PIC and a major 'overhaul' that can't be 

easily resolved will go back to the manufacturer for repair. Currently, there are no required inspections by 'authorized' maintenance personnel and there would be no space/ 

room on board to install a placard of inoperability. I respectfully request an exemption 

from this rule. 

§ 91.407 

Summary/Response: This section addresses requirements after maintenance has 

been performed. Again, approval of the maintenance before flight is essentially in the 

hands of the PIC. Whatever maintenance is performed will be entered in the aircraft log, 

unless a separate maintenance log is required. Paragraph (b) refers to the prohibition of 

a pilot carrying passengers or crewmembers, if the flight characteristics have been substantially affected, before a rated pilot performs an operational check of the maintenance. Again, this is a PIC's responsibility to preflight the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJI 

Inspire 1 and determine its flyability. And, as mentioned earlier, there is no pilot, crewmembers, or passengers on board the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJIInspire 1. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

§ 91.409 

Inspections: This section deals with the necessity of annual and 1 00-hour inspections 

or "progressive inspections" and approval by authorized persons which will lead to the 

"issuance of an airworthiness certificate." 

Response: As stated earlier, there is no FAA approved inspection protocols nor authorized inspection personnel. The PIC handles those issues each time the Phantom 2 

Vision+/DJI Inspire 1 is prepared for flight.

) 

) 

\ 

} 

\ 

) 

/ 

The pre-flight check list enumerated earlier will be followed to determine its mechanical 

and electronic integrity. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

§ 91.417 

Maintenance Records: This section requires a maintenance record be kept on repair, 

replacement and condition of vital parts (rotors, engines & airframe). Certain records 

must be retained for one year while other record must be kept with the aircraft even 

when sold to another part. 

Response: The details of this section would be impractical with a DJI Phantom 2 Vision 

+/OJ I Inspire 1, but repair issues can be entered into the aircraft log. I respectfully request an exemption from this rule. 

The above requests for exemptions follow the guidance published by the FAA. 

Safety: 

The DJI Phantom 2 Vision+/DJI Inspire 1 are UAVs with multiple safety features to assure a safe and efficient flight, minimizing personal injury and property damage and integrating with minimal risk into the NAS. They include: 

• A GPS flight system that allows for stable remote control of the aircraft. 

• The ability to hover in place by simply taking hands off the controls. 

• A Return to Home function if electronic contact between the Remote Control and the 

aircraft is lost. If the aircraft begins to show unstable flight, I will land it immediately. 

• The ability to limit height (<400') and distance (<1000') from the PIC through the control software. 

• Use of the 'radar' mode which instantly allows the PIC to pinpoint the UAV. 

• The No Fly Zone control software will prevent takeoffs within a five-mile radius of a 

major airport as well as provide warning in the event that the aircraft inadvertently approaches the zone while in flight. This warning will provide sufficient power to bring the 

UAV home. 

• The weight, size, speed and limited flight which focuses on inanimate objects (homes_ 

reduces the likelihood of significant personal or property damage. Flight of the UAV 

risks no on board lives, as in helicopter or plane photography. The safety features associated with the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and DJIInspire 1 as well as my pre-flight 

checklist and procedures will assure that public safety is not adversely affected. 
) 

) 

) 

\ 

j 

Airports and Prohibited Area: 

My proposed area most likely will include the AT A's of three Connecticut airports: 

BDR, HVN, and GON. As an active pilot, I had a very good relationship 

with staff at BDR as it was my home field. I have no reason to think I would not 

be able to establish a very good relationship with all ATC personnel. I will comply with 

all FAA regulations regarding operations in and around restricted NO-FLY zones. 

Community Benefit: 

First and foremost is the level of safety offered by the use of a small UAV in comparison 

to a manned fixed wing or rotorcraft. Both weighing less than seven pounds with camera and battery, the DJI Phantom 2 Vision+ and OJI Inspire 1 are incapable of causing 

the level of damage or injury caused by a full-size, manned aircraft. Additionally, the 

ecologic and noise impact is negligible as compared to traditional manned aircraft. 

Lastly, as real estate is a large part of our community, the use of a small UAV aerial filming platform is a cost-effective and visually impactful means to promote our available 

properties, therefore becoming an economic driver in the community.

Overview 

The Phantom 2 Vision+ is the next evolution of the Phantom 2 Vision. It features the same App enabled First Person View

6 Preparing the Range Extende~ 

TI1e Phantom 2 Vision+ Range Extender is a wireless communication device that operates within the 2.4 GHz frequency 

band. It is used to extending the effective range of communication between a Smartphone and the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

In an open, unobstructed area, the transmission distance can reach up to 700 meters. This can be reduced by trees, 

buildings and other sources of the same frequency. Before every flight, it is suggested that you ensure the Range 

Extender is functioning properly; otherwise communication issues between the mobile device and the Phantom 2 

Vision+ may occur. 

Each Range Extender has a unique MAC address and network name (SS\0), details of which are printed on the label as 

'Phantom_XXXXXX'. The ')()()()()()(' represents the last 6 letters or numbers of the MAC address for the Range Extender. 

This can be renamed in the OJ\ VISION App.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to carry out the tasks in the Phantom Pilot Training Guide 

to prepare for more complex flight maneuvers and learn to fly safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable 

location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

(1) Do not use the aircraft in severe weatl1er conditions. These include wind speed exceeding category 4, snow, rain 

and smog. 

(2) Fly in open fields as high buildings or steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on board compass. 

(3) Keep the Phantom away from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water when in flight. 

(4) Reduce the chance of electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including base stations or radio transmission towers. 

(5) The Phantom cannot operate within the polar areas. 

(6) Do not fly the aircraft within no-fly zones specified by local laws and regulations. 

Preflight Checklist 

(1) Remote Controller, smart battery, Range Extender and smar1phone are fully charged. 

(2) Propellers are mounted correctly. 

(3) Gimbal clamp has been removed. 

(4) Damping absorbers are in good condition, not broken or worn. 

(5) Anti-drop kits have been mounted correctly. 

(6) Camera lens cap has been removed. 

(7) Micro-SO card has been inserted if necessary. 

(8) Gimbal is functioning as normal. 

(9) Motors can start and are functioning as normal. 

(10) DJI VISION App can connect to the camera. 

1 Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORT ANT: 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 pocr flight performance or even flight 

failure. Regular calibration is required for optimum performance. 

0 • 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. 

1.1 Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. Watch the Phantom 2 Vision+ quick start video for more 

details.

Flight 

{\): If compass calibration is needed before flight, a prompt will appear on the DJI VISON App's camera page. It will disappear after successful calibration. 

12 When to Recalibrate 

(i) When compass data is abnormal, the rear LED flight indicator will blink red and yellow. 

(2) Flying in different location to last flight. 

(3) Mechanical structure of the Phantom has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the compass. (4) Severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. Phantom does not fly in straight lines. 

2 Starting/Stopping the Motors 

2.1 Starting Motors 

A Combination Stick Command (CSC) is used to start the motors instead of 

simply pushing the stick up. Push both sticks to their bottom corners to start the 

motors. Once the motors have spun up, release both sticks simultaneously. 

2.2 Stopping Motors 

There are lwo methods to stop the motors. 

Figure 49 

Method 1: When the Phantom has landed, push the throttle down, then conduct CSC. Motors will stop immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. Motors will stop after 3 seconds. 

[1] [2] 

Figure 50 Figure 51 

0 Do not execute CSC during normal flight. This will stop the motors and cause the aircraft to drop without control. 

{\): • Conduct the CSC as neatly as you can. Release the sticks once motors starVstop. 

• Pull down tile throttle stick to descend. The stick will lock into place and the aircraft will descend steadily. Pus11 the throttle stick upward to release throttle lock. 

3 Right Test 

3.1 Take off/Landing Procedures 

(1) Place the Phantom 2 Vision+ on open flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. (2) Power on the Remote Controller and Range Extender, then the Srnart Flight Battery. (3) Launch the DJI VISION App and start bind it with your smartphone then enter the camera preview page. (4) Wait until the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks green. This means it has initialized and is Ready to Fly. If it flashes yellow, it is in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode and will require more careful flight. Execute the esc command to start motors.

Flight 

,&. • When the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinks yellow rapidly during flight, the aircraft has entered Failsafe mode. 

Refer to Failsafe Function(Page 27) for details. 

• A low battery level warning is indicated by the Rear LED Flight Indicator blinking red slowly or rapidly during 

flight. Refer to the Low Battery Level Warning Function( Page 28) for deteils. 

• View tutorials about flight for more flight information:www.dji.com/phantom2visionplus/training. 

• Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmentel factors such as air density and temperature. Be 

very careful when flying 3000 meters (9800 feet) or more above sea level, as battery and aircraft performance 

may be reduced. 

3.2 Video Suggestions and Tips 

(1) Work through the check list before each flight. 

(2) Set the gimbal working mode to Stabilized. 

(3) Aim to shoot when flying in Ready to Fly only. 

(4) Always fly in good weather, such as sunny or windless days. 

(5) Change camera settings to suit you. These include FOV, photo format and exposure compensation. 

(6) Take flight tests to establish flight routes and scenes. 

(7) Push the sticks gently to make aircraft movements stable and smooth. 

4 Failsafe Function 

The Phantom will enter Failsafe mode when its connection to the Remote Controller is lost. The Flight Centro! System will 

automatically control the aircraft to return to home and land to prevent injury or damage. 

1::6 Home Point: When the Phantom enters 'Ready to Fly' from the 'Ready to Fly status (non-GPS)', the GPS 

coordinates will be recorded and set as the home point. 

• When Remote Controller signal is lost, the aircraft will return to the recorded home point coordinates and land. 

• Home point coordinates are used to calculate the horizontal distance of the aircraft (shown as "Distance" on the 

GUI of the DJI VISION App). 

• After successfully record the home point, rear LED flight indicators blink fast green. 

Dynamic Home Point: The Home point will be reset to position of the mobile device at specific time intervals. 

• Enable dynamic home point in DJI Vision app or Phantom 2 Assistant 

• Dynamic home point is only available to the GPS-enabled mobile device. Turn on GPS and data service to 

obtain higher accuracy of the mobile device position. 

• Dynamic home point is useful in situations when you are in motion and require a Home point that is different 

from the takeoff point. 

4.1 When Will Failsafe Activate? 

(1) The Remote Controller is powered off. 

(2) The Phantom has flown out of effective remote controller range. 

(3) The signal between the Remote Controller and the Phantom has been blocked. 

(4) There is interference causing a signal problem with the Remote Controller. 

4.2 Failsafe Procedure 

Initiating the Failsafe mode from different flying statuses will results in different landing processes. 

Ready to Fly(non-GPS)- Automatic landing 

The Flight Control System will keep the aircraft level during descent and landing. It may be drift dunng the descent and landing process. 

Ready to Fly- Automatic go home and land 

The Flight Control System will automatically control the aircraft to fly back to the home point and land.

Lh • To ensure the aircraft successful return to home after Failsafe activation, aim to only fly in Ready to Fly mode. 

• The Phantom will automatically descend during the Failsafe process if there are less than 6 GPS satellites 

detected for more than 20 seconds. 

• When the aircraft is landing automatically, users can control the aircraft's position and altitude if the remote 

controller signal is recovered. 

• Aircraft cannot navigate around vertical obstacles on its return home course during Failsafe. However, you can set 

return home a~itude value in Phantom Assistant to avoid hitting vertical obstacles through DJI Phantom Assistenl 

Quickly flipping the S2 switch of the Remote Controller from top to bottom 5 times or more will reset the current 

aircraft position as a new home point Rear LED flight indicators will blink green rapidly when successful.

6 Flight Limits 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as the ICAO 

(International Civil Aviation Organization) and their own national airspace regulations. For safety reasons, the flight limits 

function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and legally. The flight limits function includes height, 

distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

In Ready to Fly mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In Ready to Fly (non-GPS) 

status, only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120m. 

Eel Default parameters in Assistant are compliant within the definitions of class G ruled by ICAO. (Refer to Airspace 

Definition to get more details). As each country has its own rules, make sure to configure these parameters to 

comply with these rules before flying. 

6.1 Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limits flying height and distance. Configuration can be done in the Phantom 2 Vision+ Assistant 

(Figure 57). Once complete, your Phantom will fly in a restricted cylinder (Figure 58).

3.1 How to solve large margin(s) mid-point error? 

Appendix 

If the Remote Controller stick(s) mid-point margin of error is too big, the motors will fail to start when you execute the 

esc and the Phantom will not take off. The below are some possible fixes for this. 

(1) One of the Remote Controller's stick positions (except the throttle stick) is not centered when powering on the 

Phantom 2 Vision+. 

Solution: Place all Remote Controller sticks at their mid-point positions and then power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+ 

to re-record the mid-point 

(2) The Remote Controller sticks have been trimmed, leading to a deviation in the mid-point position. 

Solution: Use Assistant to perform a Remote Controller calibration. 

a) Connect to Assistant, tap Basic -> RC -> Command Sticks Calibration and push all Remote Controller sticks 

through their complete travel range to see if any stick cannot reach its outermost position. 

b) Power cycle the Phantom 2 Vision+. Power cycling is required. 

c) Re-attempt Remote Controller calibration in Assistant. 

If the above solutions do not solve your issue, please send your Remote Controller to OJI Customer service for repair. 

3.2 How to restore a video file if power is turned off during a recording session? 

Solution: Keep or place the Micro-SO card back into the camera. Power cycle the camera and wait about 30 seconds for 

the video file to be restored. 

3.3 Failure to acquire the SSID. 

Solution: Double check whether both the camera and Range Extender are powered on and the power switch of the 

camera is switched to "Wi-Fi ON." 

3.4 What to do if Phantom 2 Vision+ is out of sight and the Wi-Fi connections is lost? 

Solution: Tum off the Remote Controller to trigger the Failsafe mode and the aircraft will start to fly back, descend, and 

land at the Home point. Please make sure there are no obstacles between the Phantom and the home point and that you 

are familiar with the procedure for regaining control. 

3.5 Wi-Fi connection fails all the time. 

Solution: Double check the current Wi-Fi connection status of the mobile device. The mobile device may be connecting 

to other Wi-Fi networks after a connection breaks with the Phantom 2 Vision+. 

3.6 Files fail to synchronize. 

Solution: Video files that are too large (file sizes close to 4GB) cannot be synchronized to the mobile device. Some 

mobile devices do not support the synchronization of the 1 080i60 video files.

3.8 Failure to share. 

Solution: Make sure your mobile device has access to the Internet. 

3.9 Some Android devices have a problem connecting to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi Extender. 

Solution: Some Android devices do not allow for both a Wi-Fi connection and a mobile data connection at the same time. 

When trying to connect to the Phantom 2 Vision+ Wi-Fi network, most devices will check whether an Internet connection 

has a certain Wi-Fi setting enabled, e.g. Auto network switch or Test for Internet connection. If no Internet connection 

is found because the Phantom 2 Vision+ creates a non-routable connection it will drop the Phantom 2 Vision+ WiFi network connection and scan for the next available connection. Example: For the Samsung Note 3, carry out the 

following procedures to solve this issue. Tap Settings -> Wi-Fi, and then tap the "Menu" button. Select "Advanced" 

then uncheck the "Auto network switch". You might see a warning that indicates the Internet connection is unstable this 

message can be ignored. 

3.10 App tips for mobile devices. 

Solution: If using the App on multiple mobile devices turn off the App on the first mobile device then turn it on the second 

one to ensure normal functions on the second mobile device. 

3.11 How to land the aircraft more smoothly? 

Solution: First pull the throttle stick position down to lower than 5%, then execute the CSC command to stop the motors. 

3.12 Why is the discharge time of a battery not zero when unused? 

Solution: A battery aging test is performed prior to delivery which affects the discharge time of the new battery. This is 

why the discharge time of a new battery is not zero. The battery is okay to use. 

3.13 Do I need extra hardware to utilize ground station? 

Solution: No extra hardware is required. 

3.14 Does ground station support caching map data offline? 

Solution: Yes, user can cache map data in ground station for future use. 

3.15 What if I accidently exit DJI Vision App in ground station mode? 

If OJI Vision App is closed when aircraft is executing flight mission. aircraft continues with the remaining flight mission. 

If OJI Vision App is closed and failed to re-connect wtth aircraft within 1 minute, aircraft returns home point automatically.

Battery Use 

• Never use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.DJI. 

com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no 

responsibility for any accidents caused by nonDJI batteries. 

• Never use or charge a swollen, leaky or damaged 

battery. If so, contact DJI or its designated dealers 

for further assistance. 

• Do NOT install the battery into the battery 

compartment on the Phantom when turned on. 

Turn off the battery before installing it or removing 

it from the Phantom. Never install or remove the 

battery from the Phantom when it is turned on. 

• The battery should be used in temperatures from 

-20°C to 40°C. Use of the battery above sooc 

can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery 

below -20°C can lead to permanent damage. 

• Do not use the battery in strong electrostatic 

or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, 

the battery control board may malfunction 

and a serious accident may happen during 

flight. 

• Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any 

way, or the battery may catch fire or explode. 

• Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. If 

any electrolytes splash onto your skin or eyes, 

immediately wash the affected area with fresh 

running water for at least 15 minutes then see a 

doctor immediately. 

• Check the condition of the battery if it falls out 

of the Phantom. Make sure the battery is NOT 

damaged or leaking before putting it back to the 

Phantom. 

• Land the Phantom immediately when the 

low battery level warning activates in the DJI 

VISIONApp. 

• Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside 

of the battery comes into contact with water, 

chemical decomposition may occur, potentially 

resulting the battery catching on fire, and may 

even lead to an explosion. If the battery falls into 

water with the Phantom during flight, take it out 

immediately and put it in a safe and open area. 

Maintain a far distance from the battery until it 

is completely dry. Never use the battery again, 

and dispose of the battery properly as described 

in Battery Disposal below. 

• Put out any battery fire using sand or a dry 

powder fire extinguisher. Never use water to put 

out a battery fire. 

Charging the Battery 

• Batteries must be charged using a DJI approved 

adapter. DJI takes no responsibility if the battery 

is charged using a non-DJI charger. Never leave 

the battery unattended during charging. Do not 

charge the battery near flammable materials or 

on flammable surfaces such as carpet or wood. 

• Do not charge battery immediately after flight, 

because the battery temperature may be too 

high. Do not charge the battery until it cools 

down to near room temperature. Charging 

battery outside of the temperature range of 

0°C-40°C may lead to leakage, overheating, or 

battery damage. 

• Charge and discharge the battery completely 

once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. 

Discharge the battery until there is less than 

8% power or until it can no longer be turned 

on, then recharge it to the maximum capacity. 

This power cycling procedure will optimize the 

battery life. 

Battery Storage 

• Do not leave the battery near heat sources such as 

a furnace or heater. The ideal storage temperature 

is 0°C-21 °C. 

• Keep the battery dry. Never drop the battery into 

water. 

• Do not drop, strike, impale, or manually shortcircuit the battery. 

• Keep the battery away from metal objects such 

as necklaces and hairpins. 

• Discharge the battery to 30%-50% of the battery 

level if it will not be used for 7 days or more. This 

can greatly extend the battery life. 

Battery Disposal 

• Dispose of the battery into specific recycling 

boxes only after a complete discharge. Do 

not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. 

Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling 

regulations of batteries. 

• If the power on/off button of the smart battery 

is disabled and the battery cannot be fully 

discharged, please contact a professional 

battery disposal/recycling agent for further 

assistance.

Flight Controller 

The Inspire 1's flight controller is based on DJI flight controller with several enhancements such as new 

flight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and Dynamic 

Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A flight 

recorder stores crucial flight data for each flight. 

Flight Mode 

Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below: 

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P 

mode, which will be automaticelly selected by the Inspire 1 depending on GPS signal strength and Vision 

Positioning sensors: 

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning. 

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, 

so only altitude is controlled. 

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude, If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

(): Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft, refer to the "Flight 

Mode Switch" on P27 for more information. 

Flight Stat1.1s Indicator 

The INSPIRE 1 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of these 

LEOs are shown in the figure below: 

Rear LED 

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the 

Rear LED displays solid green. 

Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the flight controller, Refer to the table below for more 

information about the Aircraft Status Indicator:

Return to Home (RTH) 

The Return to Home (RTH) brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Horne Point. There are three cases 

that will trigger RTH procedure; they are Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH and Failsafe RTH. 

GPS 

Home Point 

SmartRTH 

Description 

The Home Point is the location at which your aircraft takes off when the 

GPS signal is strong. You can view the GPS signal strength through 

the GPS icon ( ~u1:i ). If you are using the Dynamic Home Point 

setting, the Horne Point will be updated to your current position as you 

move around and when the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks green. 

Using the RTH button on the remote controller (refer to "RTH button" on P28 for more information) or the 

RTH button in the DJI Pilot app when GPS is available to enables smart RTH. The aircraft return to the 

latest recorded Home Point, you may control the aircraft's orientation to avoid collision during the Smart 

RTH. Press the Smart RTH button once to start the process, press the Smart RTH button again to exit 

Smart RTH and regain the control.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Low Battery RTH 

The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that 

may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately 

when these warnings are shown. DJI Pilot app will advise user to return the aircraft to the Home Point 

when low battery warning is triggered. Aircraft will automatically return to the Horne Point if no action is

Vision· Positioning: ?ystem 

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 perform precision hovering even when 

no GPS is available.

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 

~ 

c_) 

1. Toggle the switch to "P" as shown the figure to the right: 

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning system 

cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations. 

3. Power on the Inspire 1. The aircraft status indicator will flash twice in green light, 

which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the throttle up 

to lift off, and the Inspire 1 will hover in place. 

,&,. The performance of your Inspire 1 's Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface you are 

flying over. The ultrasonic waves may not be able to accurately measure the distance over sound 

absorbing materials, and the camera may not function correctly in suboptimal environments. The 

aircraft will switch from "P" mode to "A" mode automatically if both GPS and Vision Positioning 

System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: 

~ 

0 

• Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green). 

• Flying over a highly reflective surfaces. 

• Flying at high speeds( over 8m/s at 2 meters or over 4m/s at 1 meter). 

• Flying over water or transparent surfaces. 

• Flying over moving surfaces or objects. 

• Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically. 

• Flying over extremely dark (lux< 10) or bright (lux> 10,000) surfaces. 

• Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet). 

• Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture. 

• Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design). 

• Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft. 

• In the event of loss of remote controller's signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in "P" mode. 

• Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness 

of the sensors. 

• The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 2.5 meters. 

• Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water. 

• Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light 

conditions (less than 1001ux). 

• Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is 

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. 

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 internal storage device of the aircraft. User can gain access to 

these data through the DJI Pilot app. This includes flight duration, orientation, distance, aircraft status 

information, speed, and other parameters.

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft 

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically 

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully. 

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix. 

The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default. To unlock the switch, launch the DJI Pilot app, 

enter the "Camera" page, tap 'MODE', and then activate "Multiple Flight Mode".

The signal transmission between aircraft and remote controller perform best within the range that 

displayed in the picture shown below: 

Optimal Transmission Range 

Strong Weak 

Ensure the aircraft is flying within the optimal transmission range. Adjust the distance and position 

between the operator and the aircraft to achieve optimal transmission performance. 

Duaf Remote Controllers Mode 

More than one remote controller can connect to the same aircraft in Dual Remote Controller mode. In 

Dual Controllers mode, the "Master" remote controller operator controls the orientation of the aircraft, while 

the "Slave" remote controller controls the movement of the gimbal and camera operation. When multiple 

"slave" remote controllers (max of 6) are connect to the aircraft, only the first connected "slave" remote 

controller is able to control the gimbal, the remaining "slave" remote controller can view the live feed video 

from the aircraft and set the camera parameters, but they cannot control the gimbal.

Gimbal Operation Modes 

Three Gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the 

Camera page of the DJI Pilot App. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote 

controller for changes to take effect. Refer to the table below for details: 

Pitch Pan 

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains 

constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the 

Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a 

second remote controller. 

The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-View flying experience. 

The Gimbal's motion is independent of the aircraft's orientation. One user 

alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is 

required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. 

Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation 

by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain 

unchanged during the re-alignment. 

,& • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1} Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2} 

Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from flat, open 

ground and protect the gimbal after powering up.

Flight 

Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the flight simulator to learn how to fly 

safely. Ensure that all flights are carried out in a suitable location. 

Flight Environment Requirements 

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10rn/s, 

snow, rain and smog. 

2. Only fly in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board 

compass and GPS signal. 

3. Avoid from obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees or bodies of water. 

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism, 

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor 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 within the polar areas in "P" rnode. ::!! 

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these flight lirnits are described in the following 

section. 

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as 

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For 

safety reasons, the flight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and 

legally. The flight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones. 

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage flight. In A 

mode only height limits work and flights cannot go higher than 120 meters. 

Max Height & Radius Limits 

Max Height & Radius limit flying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the 

DJI Pilot App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 will fly in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

Flight Restriction of Restricted Areas 

Restricted areas include airports worldwide. All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at 

http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. 

Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas 

includes smaller airports. 

Category A Safety Zone 

(1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Flight is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the 

restricted-altitude zone. 

(2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-fly zone, inside which takeoff is prevented. 

(3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8 km) around restricted areas are altitude restricted, with maximum 

altitude going from 35 feet (10.5 m) at 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 400 feet (120m) at 5 miles (8 km). 

(4) A "warning zone" has been set around the safety zone. When you fly within 320 feet (100m) of the 

safety zone, a warning message will appear on the OJI Pilot App.

Calibrating the Compass 

IMPORTANT: 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. 

0 • 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. 

Calibration Procedures 

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures. 

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass in the Checklist, or if you 

have changed your position since last calibrating it, tap "MODE" in the app and select "Compass 

Calibration" to calibrate the compass. Then follow the on-screen instructions. 

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will d'1splay a

& If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a 

different location to carry out compass calibration. 

~ Calibrate the compass before each flight. Launch DJI Pilot App, follow the on-screen instruction 

to calibrate the compass. 

When to Recalibrate 

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow. 

2. When flying in a new location, or a location that is different from your last flight. 

3. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of the 

compass. 

4. When severe drifting occurs in flight, i.e. the Inspire 1 does not fly in straight lines . 

. Auto Take-off and Auto Landing 

Auto Take-off 

Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking 

green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off: 

1. Launch DJI Pilot app, enter "Camera" page. 

2. Ensure the aircraft is in "P" mode.

Auto-Landing 

Use auto-landing to land your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking green. 

Follow the steps below to use auto-landing: 

1. Ensure the aircraft is in "P" mode. 

2. Check the landing area condition before tapping ".!.", to perform landing. 

3. Aircraft lowers the landing gear and proceed to land automatically. 

Starting/Stopping the Motors 

Starting Motors 

The Combination Stick Command (CSC) listed below are used to start the motors instead of simply pushing the stick up. Ensure that you perform the CSC in one moUon. 

OR 

Stopping Motors 

There are two methods to stop the motors. 

Method 1: When the Inspire 1 has landed, push the throttle down <D, then conduct CSC ®. Motors will stop 

immediately. Release both sticks once motors stop. 

Method 2: When the aircraft has landed, push the throttle down and hold. The motors will stop after 3 

seconds. 

OR 

& Do not perform CSC when aircraft is in midair, otherwise the motors will be stopped. 

Flight Test 

Take off/Landing Procedures 

1. Place the aircraft on open, flat ground with battery indicators facing towards you. 

2. Power on the remote controller and your mobile device, then the Intelligent Flight Battery. 

3. Launch the OJI Pilot App and enter the Camera page. 

4. Wait until the Aircraft Indicator blinks green. This means the Home Point is recorded and it is safe to fly 

now. If it flashes yellow, it means Home Point is not recorded, and you should not take off. 

5. Push the throttle up slowly to take off or using Auto Take-off to take off. 

6. Shoot photos and videos using the OJI Pilot app. 

7. To land, hover over a level surface and gently pull down on the throttle slowly to descend. 

8. After landing, execute the CSC command or hold the throttle at its lowest position for 3 seconds or 

more until the motors stop. 

9. Turn off the Intelligent Flight Battery first, followed by the Remote Controller.

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 SO 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 SO into your PC. Extract the all downloaded files into the root directory of the SO card. 

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

SO 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-0-D-D" beeping sound to indicate the upgrade is in progress and sound a "D---OD" 

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 OJI 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 SO card reader or the USB disk onto the remote controller USB port when 

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

• Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT file systems are supported for aircraft 

and remote controller firmware updates. 

• Delete any automatically generated txt files (xxx_GS.TXT) in the SD card when updating multiple 

remote controllers.

Reading Inspire 1 Manuals 

The following tutorials and manuals have been produced to help you make full use of your DJI Inspire 1: 

1. In The Box 

2. Disclaimer and Warning 

3. Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines 

4. INSPIRE 1 Safety Guidelines 

5. INSPIRE 1 Quick Start Guide 

6. INSPIRE 1 User Manual 

Check all of the included parts listed in the In The Box document. Read the Disclaimer and Warning, 

Intelligent Flight Battery Safety Guidelines, and INSPIRE 1 Safety Guidelines before flight. Then prepare for 

your first flight by using the INSPIRE 1 Quick Start Guide and watching all of the tutorial videos. If you have 

questions, refer to the INSPIRE 1 User Manual for more comprehensive information. Experienced users, 

particularly those who have previously used DJI products, may choose to skip to the Inspire 1 Quick Start 

Guide to begin preparing for flight. 

Individual Parts 

Remote Controller 

1. Linking is required ~you wish to replace your remote controller or receiver, or add a new remote controller. 

Refer to the user manual for more information about how to link the aircraft. 

2. If the remote controller is powered on and has not been used for 5 minutes, it will sound an alert. After 10 

minutes it will automatically power off. Move the sticks or perform some other action to cancel the alert. 

3. A Slave remote controller cannot be linked with the aircraft and cannot control the aircraft's flight. You may 

change it to a Master remote controller via the DJI Pilot app, and then link it to the aircraft to control flight. 

4. Ensure the Mobile Device Holder is firmly in place and does not slip. 

5. For the GPS in the remote controller to function properly, and the Dynamic Home Point to be accurate, 

ensure the DJIIogo is facing the sky and keep the remote controller away from any metal objects. 

6. Repair or replace the remote controller if damaged. A damaged remote controller antenna will greatly 

decrease performance. 

7. When on the go, you may charge the remote controller from the aircraft's Intelligent Flight Battery. 

Camera 

1. Photos or videos cannot be transmitted or copied from the camera if the Intelligent Right Battery is powered off. 

2. Be sure to power off the Intelligent Right Battery correctly, otherwise your camera parameters will not be saved 

and any recorded videos may be damaged. 

3. Test the camera by shooting a few test images to check that it is operating correctly before shooting important 

pictures. 

4. Respect the privacy of others when using the camera. Make sure you comply with local privacy laws, regulations 

and moral standards. 

5. Check camera settings before use to make sure you can adjust them to fit your needs. 

·Gimbal 

1. The gimbal and gimbal connector are very delicate. Handle with care and do not touch the gimbal 

connector, as any damage will cause it to function abnormally. 

2. A gimbal motor error may occur if: (1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or other objects obstruct 

the gimbal's full range of motion, or (2) The gimbal has undergone an excessive impact, e.g. a collision. 

Please only takeoff from flat, open areas and protect the gimbal after powering up. 

3. Hold the gimbal firmly when detaching or reattaching it, so it does not drop. 

4. Do not add any payloads to the gimbal, as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally, or even

} 

lead to motor damage. 

5. Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact, which will cause the gimbal 

to function abnormally. 

Compass 

1. Ensure the compass is calibrated before every flight. Failure to calibrate may lead to a poor flight 

performance or even failure. 

2. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interterence. This includes areas 

where there are massive metal objects, parking structures, steel reinforcements underground, or under bridges. 

3. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration, such as keys or mobile phones. 

4. The compass should always be recalibrated when moving from indoor spaces to outdoor spaces. 

5. If the rear LED shows a solid red light, compass calibration has failed. Please recalibrate. 

6. After successful calibration, the compass may become abnormal when you put the aircraft on the 

ground. This is because of magnetic interference that may be underground. Move the aircraft to another 

location and try again. 

Parameter Settings 

The Inspire 1 features a built-in flight control system to make operation as safe as possible. However, it is 

good practice to remove all propellers before switching it on for calibration or changing other parameter 

settings. 

Battery 

Refer to the Intelligent Flight Battery Safely Guidelines and battery sticker for usage and maintenance information. 

Storage and Transportation . 

1. Store the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, 

to ensure the built-in LiPo battery does not overheat. Recommended storage temperature: between 

22"C and 2s•c for storage periods of more than three months. Never store in environments outside the 

temperature range of -2o•c to 45•c. 

2. Do not allow the camera to come into contact with, or become immersed in, water or other liquids. If it 

gets wet, wipe dry with a soft, absorbent cloth. Turning on an aircraft that has fallen into water may cause 

permanent component damage. Do not use substance containing alcohol, benzene, thinners or other 

flammable substances to clean or maintain the camera. Do not store the camera in humid or dusly areas. 

3. Always keep all parts out of the reach of children, as the cables, straps or small parts may be dangerous 

if swallowed. If swallowed, go to the hospital immediately. 

4. Detach the gimbal from the Inspire 1 when storing for a long period of time or transporting over long 

distances. Also replace the Gimbal Cover when storing. 

Maintenance and Upkeep. 

1. Check every part of the aircraft if it is violently impacted. If you have any problems or questions, please 

contact a DJI authorized dealer. 

2. Old, chipped, or broken propellers or motors should never be used. 

3. Regularly check the Battery Level Indicators to see the current battery level and overall battery life. When 

the battery life reaches 0%, it can no longer be used. 

4. After every 50 hours of flight time, DJI recommends you perform a thorough inspection of your Inspire 1 

and all of its parts and components to ensure the safe operation of your aircraft.

Battery Use 

• Never use non-DJI batteries. Go to www.DJI. 

com to purchase new batteries. DJI takes no 

responsibility for any accidents caused by nonDJI batteries. 

• Never use or charge a swollen, leaky or damaged 

battery. If so, contact DJI or its designated dealers 

for further assistance. 

• Never install or remove the battery from the aircraft 

when it is turned on. Do not insert or remove 

batteries if the plastic cover had been torn or 

compromised in any way. 

• The battery should be used in temperatures from 

-1 oac to 40°C. Use of the battery above soac 

can lead to a fire or explosion. Use of battery 

below -1 ooc can lead to permanent damage. 

• Do not use the battery in strong electrostatic 

or electromagnetic environments. Otherwise, 

the battery control board may malfunction 

and a serious accident may happen during 

flight. 

• Never disassemble or pierce the battery in any 

way, or the battery may catch fire or explode. 

• Electrolytes in the battery are highly corrosive. 

If any electrolytes splash onto your skin or eyes, 

immediately wash the affected area with fresh 

running water for at least 15 minutes then see a 

doctor immediately. 

• Check the condition of the battery if it falls out 

of the aircraft. Make sure the battery is NOT 

damaged or leaking before putting it back to the 

aircraft. 

• Land the aircraft immediately when the low battery 

level warning activates in the DJI Pilot app. 

• Do not allow the batteries to come into contact 

with any kind of liquid. Do not leave batteries 

out in the rain or near a source of moisture. 

Do not drop the battery into water. If the inside 

of the battery comes into contact with water, 

chemical decomposition may occur, potentially 

resulting the battery catching on fire, and may 

even lead to an explosion. If the battery falls into 

water with the aircraft during flight, take it out 

immediately and put it in a safe and open area. 

Maintain a far distance from the battery until it 

is completely dry. Never use the battery again, 

and dispose of the battery properly as described 

in Battery Disposal below. 

• Do not heat batteries. Put out any battery fire 

using sand or a dry powder fire extinguisher. 

Never use water to put out a battery fire. 

• Do not charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and 

remote controller at the same time, otherwise 

the charger may overheat. 

• Do not leave batteries in a microwave oven or in 

a pressurized container. 

• Do not place loose battery cells on any conductive 

surface, such as metal-toppled table. 

• Do not put the loose cells in pocket, bag or 

drawer where they may short-circuit against 

other items or where battery terminals could be 

pressed against each other. 

• Do not drop or strike batteries. Do not place 

heavy objects on batteries or charger. Avoid 

dropping batteries. 

• Clean battery terminals with a dry and clean 

cloth. 

Charging the Battery 

• Do not attach the batteries to the wall or car 

charger sockets directly, always use a DJI 

approved adapter. DJI takes no responsibility if 

the battery is charged using a non-DJI charger. 

Never leave the battery unattended during 

charging. Do not charge the battery near 

flammable materials or on flammable surfaces 

such as carpet or wood. Do not charge battery 

immediately after flight, because the battery 

temperature may be too high. Do not charge 

the battery until it cools down to near room 

temperature. Charging battery outside of the 

temperature range of 0°C-40°C may lead to 

leakage, overheating, or battery damage. 

• Charge and discharge the battery completely 

once every 20 charge/discharge cycles. 

Discharge the battery until there is 0% of 

power or until it can no longer be turned on, 

then recharge it to the maximum capacity. 

This power cycling procedure will optimize the 

battery life. 

• DJI intelligent battery is designed to stop 

charging when it is full. However it is good 

practice to monitor charging progress and 

disconnect the batteries when fully charged. 

• Disconnect charger when not in use. Examine 

charger regularly for damage to the cord, 

plug, enclosure or other parts. Do not clean 

the charger with denatured alcohol or other 

flammable solvents. Never use a damaged 

charger. 

Battery Storage 

• Keep batteries out of the reach of children and 

pets.

• Do not leave the battery near heat sources such 

as a furnace or heater. Do not leave the batteries 

inside of the vehicle on hot days. The ideal 

storage temperature is 22•c-2s•c. 

• Keep the battery dry. Never drop the battery into 

water. 

• Do not drop, strike, impale, or manually shortcircuit the battery. 

• Keep the battery away from metal objects such 

as necklaces and hairpins. 

• Discharge the battery to 30%-50% of the battery 

level if it will not be used for 7 days or more. This 

can greatly extend the battery life. 

• Battery discharges automatically to below 65% 

when it is idle for more than 10 days to prevent 

the battery from swelling. It takes around 2 days 

to discharge the battery to 65%, It is normal 

that you may feel moderate heat emits from the 

battery during the discharge process. Set the 

discharging thresholds in the DJI Pilot app. 

• The battery will enter hibernation mode if 

depleted and stored for a long period. When 

in hibernation mode, if you try to power on the 

battery, the battery power LED will show a solid 

red light and the battery level LEOs will all be 

off. You cannot manually turn off the battery 

power LED in this state. Leave the battery 

unattended for 5 minutes, and then it will power 

off. Recharge the battery to bring it out of 

hibernation. 

• Remove batteries from the aircraft when stored 

for an extended period. 

Battery Disposal 

• Dispose of the battery into specific recycling 

boxes only after a complete discharge. Do 

not place the battery into regular rubbish bins. 

Strictly follow your local disposal and recycling 

regulations of batteries. 

• If the power on/off button of the Intelligent Flight 

Battery is disabled and the battery cannot be 

fully discharged, please contact a professional 

battery disposal/recycling agent for further 

assistance. 

Notice 

• Before carrying the Intelligent Flight Battery on a 

airline flight, it must first be fully discharged. This 

can be done by using it in your Inspire 1 or by 

connecting your remote controller to the battery 

using the Remote Controller Charging Cable. 

Only discharge the battery in a fireproof location. 

• Store Intelligent Flight Batteries in a ventilated 

location. 

• Should you require to carry the battery onto the 

plane, it is recommend to discharge the battery 

to the range between 1 0% and 20% in order to 

ensure the safety of the battery.

Maintenance Manual 

QIQJ 2015.2 

To ensure that your aircraft continues to offer optimal performance and to ensure flight safety, 

it is recommended that comprehensive maintenance be performed after every 200 flights or 50 

flight hours. This manual is intend to help users maintain their aircraft and maximize its continued 

reliability. 

I. Checking the Battery 

1. Check the battery for damage and deformities. If 

there are any signs of damage to the battery, stop 

using it and discharge the battery to 10% or below 

for disposal. Do not disassemble the battery for any 

reason. 

2. Check the battery pins and rub them clean with an 

eraser if any residue is observed. This will help to 

ensure a more reliable connection. 

3. Check the metal battery power connectors for 

damage. If the connectors appear burnt, try to clear 

them. This can be done by inserting a piece of 

sandpaper (1mm thick) into the connectors to polish 

the metal. 

4. Check the contact pins in the battery compartment to 

ensure that the pins are clear. They should be able 

to establish easy contact with the battery connectors 

and should not be bent. 

5. Check the electrodes on the battery. If they appear 

burnt, polish them with sandpaper. If there is serious 

erosion, send the battery in for repairs. 

6. Check the plastic components of the battery bracket 

to see it is in good condition and that all screws are 

secure. This prevents the battery from becoming 

loose during flight. 

7. Check the power cables between the arms and the 

center plate, if the cables are worn, contact DJI to 

arrange repairs. 

8. For long term storage, please refer to the "Intelligent 

Flight Battery Safety Guidelines" and check the 

battery once a month to prevent the battery cell from 

being damaged. 

9. Run the DJI Pilot App to confirm that all battery cells 

are at similar voltage levels and stay at the same level 

when the battery is fully charged. If all cells maintain 

voltage levels above 3. 7V but any cell is 0.2V higher 

or lower than the others, contact DJI for analysis. You 

can also check the battery cell warning history. If any 

warning are reported, contact DJI. 

II. Checking the Transformation System 

1. Check the servomotor cables for wear. Also confirm 

that the connection points are still in good condition. 

2. Check the lead screws and contact DJI Support 

to arrange repairs if any bending or damage is 

discovered. Clean the lead screws w"1th WD-40 spray 

if they show signs of rust. 

3. Listen to the servomotors during the transformation, 

if there is abnormal noise, it may indicate that the 

servomotors worn. 

4. After the landing gear rises, check the lead screws 

and bearings. If any dirt or dust is found, clean and 

grease the bearings. 

5. Check the lead screws. If there is any scratches, 

dents, or plastic particles underneath them, contact 

DJI Support to arrange repairs. 

Ill, Checking the Aircraft 

1. Confirm that all the screws are still adequately 

tightened. 

2. Check the aircraft for breaks or damage. If there is 

any reason to believe that detectable damage might 

affect flight safety, consult with DJI Support. 

3. Check the carbon tubes of the arms for damage. 

4. Check the dampers on the landing gears. If they are 

loose, secure them with 502 glue. 

5. Ensure that there are no obstacles on or around the 

GPS module or around the antennas on the landing 

gear. Remove any obstacles (such as tapes with 

conducf1ve material) that might affect or block the 

signal. 

6. Check that the right and left landing gear rest at the 

same tilt angle.

IV. Checking the Motors 

1. Check the rotors to confirm that they have not 

become loose. 

2. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Listen 

carefully. If there is any abnormal noise, please 

replace the motors. This may be a sign that the 

bearings have been worn out. 

3. Detach the propellers and start the motors. Carefully 

examine the edge of the rotor and confirm that the 

shaft is perfectly centered on the motor. Check 

for any abnormal or excessive vibration. If any 

problems are detected, contact DJI Support to order 

replacement motors. 

4. Check for deformities by confirming that the gap 

between the motor and motor base is even. If not 

contact DJI Support to order replacement motors. 

5. Ensure that the screws used to secure the motor 

base are tight and the plastic components around 

the motors are in good condition. If not please 

tighten the screws and contact DJI to repair any 

broken plastic components. 

V. Checking the Propellers 

1. Check the propellers. If there is any bending, 

breakage or cracking on a propeller, do not use it. 

2. Attach the propeller to the motor, turn on the aircraft, 

and place it on the ground. Stand 1 meter away from 

the aircraft and observe the rotating propellers. If you 

can see two distinct propeller outline layers, when 

looking at a spinning propeller from the side, this 

propeller is damaged and should not be used. 

VI. Checking the IMU 

1. Open DJI Pilot app to check the condition of the IMU 

and perform an advanced IMU calibration. Please 

place the aircraft in a cool environment and on a 

flat, stable surface (if the landing gear is damaged, 

support the aircraft with four objects of equal 

height). Do not touch the craft during the calibration. 

2. Turn on the aircraft and listen for any abnormal noise 

or vibration from the fan located on the front of the 

aircraft. If any irregularity is detected, replace the 

fan. 

VII. Checking the Control and Video Transmission System 

1. Check the 4 antennas on the landing gear to ensure 

that they are secure. Also check for any bending or 

damage. 

2. Check the antennas of the remote controller for 

damage 

3. Check the neck strap for damage or wear, replace 

if necessary. 

VIII. Checking the Gimbal and Camera 

1. The quick-mount connector for the camera is a 

particularly vulnerable component. If the gimbal 

fails to initialize when turned on, fails to work after 

initialization, or fails to transmit video to the app 

(while OSD data is displayed), the quick-mount 

connector may be worn. In this case, replace the 

rubber mat, circuit board, and/or connector on the 

gimbal quick-mount. 

2. Check the metal contacts on the quick mount 

connector board, if any contact is bent, replace 

the quick-mount connector. 

3. Check the contact pins on the quick-mount 

connector board, if there is any dirt, rub it clean 

with an eraser. If any contact pins are worn out it 

should be replaced. 

4. Confirm that the gimbal is able to properly stabilize 

itself. If its stabilizing performance deteriorates, 

contact DJI to arrange repairs. 

5. Listen for any abnormal noise from the fan when 

the gimbal is turned on. This may indicate unusual 

vibration and the fan should be replaced. 

IX. Checking the Vision Positioning System 

1. Check the lens of the camera. If any dirt or residue 

is detected, gently clean the lens. 

2. Check for and remove objects that might block the 

sensors. 

3. Ensure that the Vision Positioning System is securely 

installed on the aircraft. 

4. Detach the propellers and turn on the aircraft. Hold 

the aircraft 1-2 meters above a surface with rich 

patterns, under good lighting conditions. Change 

the Flight Mode switch to P Mode on the controller 

and check the DJI Pilot app. If the app displays an 

altitude value and indicates that P-OPTI mode is 

active, the Vision Positioning System should function 

normally.
