INSPIRE 1 PRO Remote Controller
The Inspire 1 Pro is a professional aerial filmmaking and photography platform that is ready to fly right out of the box.
Featuring an onboard camera equipped with a 15mm f/1.7 (35 mm format equivalent 30 mm) lens and 3-axis stabilized
gimbal, it shoots sharp 16mp stills and stable video at up to 4K. Its retractable landing gear pulls up out of view, giving
the camera an unobstructed 360 degree view of the world below.
An advanced flight controller makes the Inspire 1 Pro stable, safe and easy to fly indoors or out. The brand new Vision
Positioning System (VPS) gives it the power to hover in position at low altitudes even without GPS. Like all DJI flight
controllers, it is also able to return home if remote controller signal is lost or if the low battery warning is triggered.
The Inspire 1 Pro boasts a maximum flight speed 18m/s* and a maximum flight time of 15 minutes* using one fully charged
4500mAh Intelligent Flight Battery.

The maximum transmission distance of the Inspire 1 Pro remote controller is 2km*. The remote controller also allows you to
control the landing gear or activate Return to Home with a tap. Other buttons allow instant photo capture, video recording,
picture review and gimbal control.
A DJI Lightbridge-based HD video downlink is built-in, letting you see what your camera sees on your mobile device in
real time HD. The app also allows you to change camera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person
can fly while other controls the gimbal independently. The master and slave controllers communicate using a 5.8Ghz
wireless signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters.The controller’s LiPo battery has
a maximum run time of approximately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the controller.

DO MONITOR YOUR ALTITUDE
DO NOT FLY near or above people, near
trees, power lines or buildings.
and fly under 400 feet
(120 meters).
It is important to understand basic
flight guidelines, for the safety of
both you and those around you.
Refer to the Safety Guidelines and
Disclaimer for more information.
DO MAINTAIN LINE OF SIGHT
DO NOT FLY in rain, snow, fog, and wind
speeds exceeding 22 mph or 10 m/s.
●
Be very careful when flying 14,700 feet (4,500 meters) or more above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced.
●
The Inspire 1 Pro’s compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will auto switch to ATTI Mode and use the VPS for positioning.
●
Calibrating the Compass:
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.
●
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.
●
If it is blinking red and yellow alternately after placing the aircraft on the ground, the compass has detected magnetic
interference. Change your location.
●
P Mode:
In this mode, the Inspire 1 Pro has a strong GPS signal and can use
the VPS allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors and out.
If outdoors, this mode also means that a Home Point has been
locked so that it can Return to Home if the control signal is lost.
If you are not in this mode, toggle the Flight Mode
Switch to P position to enable it.
The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default.
Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the switch.
There are three states in P mode.
P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors in a wide open area, and
your Inspire 1 Pro uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS
signal is strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available, the aircraft can
use the VPS to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS or VPS
available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only
altitude is controlled. Note that the VPS may not work properly
when the Inspire 1 Pro is flying over water, over surfaces without a
clear pattern, or in a low light environment.
●
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during the Failsafe RTH, but user can regain control of the aircraft when signal transmission is resumed;
therefore it is important to set an appropriate Failsafe altitude before each flight. Be sure fly higher than any tall buildings to avoid crashing.
and avoid flying behind buildings
or obstacles that block your view.
Return to home
GPS Positioning
●
Return to Home:
When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will be
able to record a Home Point and return to the Home
Point when needed. The GPS location is recorded
when the GPS signal icon in the DJI GO app is either
yellow or green.
The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in
the following cases (all require a strong GPS signal).
Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the
remote controller or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The
DJI GO app notifies users to take action when the
battery level falls to a specified threshold.
Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost.
