INSPIRE1 

The Inspire 1 is a professional aerial filmmaking and photography platform 111at is ready to fly rigrt out of the box. Featuring 

an onboard camera ~ippad v.ith a 20'nm lens and 3-axis statilizad gimbal, it shoots sharp 12mp stills and stable video at 

up to 4K ns retractable landing gear pulls up out of view, gMng the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world 

below. 

AA advanced flight controller makes the Inspire 1 stable, Slife and easy to fly indoors or out. The brand new Vision 

Positioning System gives it tha power to hover in position at low a~itudes evan without GPS. Uks all DJI flight controllers, 

it is also able to return home if remota controller signal is lost or if the low battery warning is triggered. 

The Inspire 1 boasts a maximum flight speed 22mfs• and a maximum flight time of 18 minutes* using one tully charged 

4500mAh Intelligent Aight Battery.

Fly Safe 

• Calibrating the Compass: 

Make 8U1l to calii:J'Bte the oanpass in every new 11ght location. The oanpass is wry sen9tive to eleclromagnetic interference, 

which CIWl csuse abnormal compass data leading to poor 11ght perfmnence c;r even failure. Ae9Jar calibration is n:Q.Ji'ed for 

optimum PQ1ormance. Recalibrate the oanpass when: a) The Aircmft Status Indicator is blirl<ing red and '/fiON. b) Flying in a 

new location. 

• DO NOT calibrate your compass where there Is a chance of strong magnetic Interference, such as magnetite, parking 

structures, and steel reinfll1:ements underground. 

• DO NOT cany ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as key!3 or celular phones. 

• DO NOT calibrate bsaide massive metal objects. 

• ~the Right Status LID is showing solid red, then try to celbrate again. If it is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing 

the aircraft on the ground, the oanpass has detected magnetic interfilrence. 01ange your location. 

• P Mode: 

Safe to 1ly. In this mode, the lnspre 1 has a strong GPS signai and 

can use the VIsion Positioring System slowing it to hover a=nrtely 

in position indoors and out. ~outdoors, this mode also mesns thet a 

Home Point has baen locked so thet it oan Retun to Hc:rne W the

GPS Positioning 

T IJ. VIsion Positioning 

..., Altitude 2.5 m 

P-GPS: GPS works bast when outdoors in a wide open area, and 

your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover In place when the GPS signal Is 

strong. P-QPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can use the 

Vision Positioning System to hover accurate!).: P-ATTI: Neither 

GPS or VIsion Positioning System available, aircraft is using only 

its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. 

Nota that the VIsion Positioning System may not wak property when

• Return to Home: 

When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will ba able to record a Home Point and return to the Home Point when needed. The GPS 

location is recorded when the GPS signal icon in the DJI Pilot app is 

either yellow or green.

• Flight Limits: 

The Inspire 1 is not permitted to fly within no-fly zonas as specified 

by local laws and ragulations. Please visit hera:

• Environmental Considerations: 

1. Do not fly in severe weather cond~ions. This includes high wind, snow, rain and smog.

2. Only fly in open areas. Tal buildings and steel structures may alfect the acruacy of the onboard compass and GPS siglal. 

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

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in areas witih high levels of electromagnetism, including mobile 

phone base stations or radio transmission towers. 

5. Aircmft and battery perfmnanca is sut:jact to err.ironmental factors such as air density and ternperatulll. Ba wry carafiJ when

The transmission signal between 1he aircraft and remote 

controller will perform best when within the optimal 

transmission range. ~the signal is weak, fty 1he aircraft 

closer to you to achieve optimal signal performance. 

CD Press the button on the side of the Mobile 

Device Holder to release the clamp. 

<V Place your device onto 1he clamp and adjust 

1he clamp to hold It securely.

other end into the USB port on the back of 

1he remote controller. 

If you have purchased an Inspire 1 with dual remote controllers, 1he Master remote controller will connect to the aircraft 

automatically when powered on. Master/Slave mode is disabled by default. Activate it and set It up through the DJI Pilot 

app. The Master remote controller's Status LED will show solid green wlhen It connected to the aircraft. The Slave 

remote controller's Status LED will show solid blue when it is connected to 1he Master controller. 

Connecting 1he Master remote controller to the Slave remote controller: 

On 1he Master remote controller, launch the DJI Pilot app and go to the camera page. Then tap til' ,,;II on the top of your 

screen to enter the remote controller settings window. Tap "Activate Master/Slave Mode'and select "Master". Then
