Flight Controller 

The Inspire 1’s night controller is based on DJI night controller with several enhancements such as new 

night 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 night 

recorder stores crucial night data for each night. 

Flight Mode

Three night modes are available. The details of each night 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-0PTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision 

Positioning for hovering 

P-ATTI: /either 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 0rientation Control (I0C) is activated in this mode. For more information 

about I0C
 refer to the I0C in Appendix.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the night mode of the aircraft

 Aircraft automatically descends and lands if RTH is triggered when the aircraft nies within a 20 

meter (65 feet) radius of the Home Point.

 Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH
 therefore it is important to set an 

reasonable Failsafe altitude before each night. Launch the DJI Pilot app and enter “Camera” 

view and select “M0DE” to set the Failsafe altitude. 

 Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle 

stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe. 

 When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land 

automatically
 you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more 

appropriate location for landing.

 Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator renect estimated remaining night time 

and are adjusted automatically
 according to the aircraft’s current status.

Failsafe RTH

Failsafe RTH is activated automatically if remote controller signal (including video relay signal) is lost for 

more than 3 seconds provided that Home Point has been successfully recorded and compass is working 

normally. Return home process may be interrupted and the operator can regain control over the aircraft if 

a remote controller signal is resumed.

Vision Positioning System

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 

reRuired. 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.

INSPIRE 1 User Manual

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the mgure to the right:

2. Place the Inspire 1 on a nat 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 nash 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 

nying 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: 

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

 Flying over a highly renective surfaces. 

 Flying at high speeds(over m/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 freRuently 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 denect sound waves away from the aircraft.

 In the event of loss of remote controller’s signal
 the aircraft will hover for  seconds and then 

auto-land if it is in “P” mode. 

,eep 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 nying over water.

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

conditions (less than 100lux).

 Do not use other ultrasonic devices with freRuency of 40 ,Hz 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.

,eep the animals away from the aircraft when Vision Positioning system is activated. The sonar 

sensor emits high freRuency 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 night duration
 orientation
 distance
 aircraft status 

information
 speed
 and other parameters.

0nce pre-night preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the night simulator to learn how to ny 

safely. Ensure that all nights 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 10m/s , 

snow, rain and smog.

2. 0nly ny 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 nying 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” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area 

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

section.

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

the ICA0 (International Civil Aviation 0rganization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For 

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

legally. The night limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly ;ones.

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly ;ones work together to manage night. In A 

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

Max Height & Radius Limits

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

DJI Pilot App. 0nce complete, your Inspire 1 will ny in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these 

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

 If you ny out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1, but cannot ny it further. 

 If the Inspire 1 nies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will ny back within 

range automatically. 

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly ;ones are listed on the DJI ofmcial website at http://nysafe.dji.com/no-ny. No-Fly ;ones are 

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and nying melds where manned 

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites. 

The details of the No-Fly ;ones are explained below:

Airport:

(1) Airport No-Fly ;ones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted ;ones and Restricted-Altitude ;ones. Each 

zone features circles of various size. 

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff 

Restricted ;one, inside of which take-off and night is prevented. 

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the night altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at 

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The night altitude is limited to 1640 

feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly ;ones, a warning message will appear 

in the DJI Pilot app.

aircraft and remote controller mrmware updates. 

 Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the mrmware 

update package.

 Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the mrmware, as any incoming 

calls may disrupt the update process.

 Do not perform mrmware update while the aircraft is still nying in the air. Only carry out mrmware 

update when the aircraft is landed. 

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

aircraft’s mrmware.

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

controller and aircraft.

 Conmrm the update results based on the blinking pattern of camera status indicator or gimbal 

sound. It is normal for the aircraft to sound or the LED to blink during the update process.
