## Cont(oller L___ . · ,;,._

--- ..**~~** ..- ... .,...___ 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. 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 automatically 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-OPTJ: 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. F or more informati on about IOC, r e

fer 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 .

### Vi~ion 

## Positioning System

· ·----- ·-· . 

### . - -- - . DJI Vision Posit ion ing is a pos itioning 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 Inspi re 1 , including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning Vision Positioning is activated automa t ically when the Inspi re 1 is powered on . No manual action is required . Vision Positi. oning 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.

### 16 © 20 1 5 DJI . AH Rights Reserved.INSPIRE 1 User Manual Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning: 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 variat ions . 3. Power on the Insp ire 1. 

### The aircraft status indicator will flash Wee 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 oper ate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the following situations: • Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure wh ite, pure r ed, 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 

### < 1 0} or bright (lux 

### > 1 0,000} 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. 

## :(j: • 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 1 OOiux} . 

### • Do not use other ultr ason ic 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 . 

# 0 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.

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
Follow Mode

FPVMode 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 Free Mode alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second r emote controller. Tap to force the G i mbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation Re-alignment 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. • Flying in heavy fog or cl oud may make the g imbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The

gimbal will recover when it dries out .
