INSPIRE 1PRO
Quick Start Guide
V1.0

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

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 flight speed and maximum run time (hovering state) were tested in a lab environment, at zero-level elevation and in windless conditions, and

6. Preparing the Remote Controller
Tilt the Mobile Device Holder to the desired position then adjust
the antennas as shown. The strength of the remote controller
signal is different when the antenna position is different.
The transmission signal between the aircraft and remote controller will
perform best when within the optimal transmission range. If the signal is
weak, fly the aircraft closer to you to achieve optimal signal performance.

ȕDo not use other 2.4GHz devices at the same time to avoid signal interference.
Press the button to release the clamp.
Place your device onto the clamp and adjust the clamp to
hold it securely.
Connect your mobile device to the remote controller with a
USB cable.
Connecting the Master remote controller to the Slave remote
controller: On the Master remote controller, launch the DJI GO
app and go to the Camera page. Then tap on the top of
your screen to enter the remote controller settings window.
Tap “Activate Master/Slave Mode”and select “Master”. Then
enter your desired connection password for the “Slave”
remote controller. On the Slave remote controller, select
“Slave “ and tap “Search” to find the Master remote controller.
Select the “Master” remote controller from the “Master RC
List” and input the connection password.
If you have purchased an Inspire 1 Pro with dual remote
controllers, the 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 GO app.
Using DJI Focus
Use DJI Focus to remotely adjust the camera lens
(e.g. continuous manual focus). Refer to "Inspire 1

The remote controller is by default set to Mode 2 ( throttle controlled by the left-hand stick ).
Adjust the tilt angle of camera by using the Gimbal Dial.
ȕWhen not in P mode, the Inspire 1 Pro will only maintain altitude, not position, and will drift
with wind or user inputs. Return to Home is not available in F mode.
ȕEnsure the aircraft is fully charged when use with the Zenmuse X5, as power suddenly
drops may bring dangerous.
Rotate the Gimbal Lock to the unlocked position.
Align the key on the damping plate with the slot on the gimbal's pan motor.
While aligning the white lines on the Gimbal Connector and Gimbal Lock,
insert the Gimbal Connector.
Rotate the Gimbal Lock to the locked position.

Move the Flight Mode Switch to the right to select P mode. ( P mode is Positioning mode, A mode
is ATTI mode, and the F mode is Function mode. )
Power on the remote controller.
Power on the aircraft and wait for the self-check to complete. Do not move the aircraft during the
self-check.
Ensure the remote controller is linked to the aircraft before flight. Re-link the remote controller to the
aircraft if it fails to connect. Refer to the INSPIRE 1 PRO User Manual on how to link.
Ensure the remote controller and your mobile device are connected with a USB cable. Launch the
DJI GO app when connecting to the aircraft for the first time, and follow the instructions within the app.
Launch the DJI GO app and tap “Camera”. Ensure the aircraft is functioning normally by completing
the Checklist.Beginner Mode is enabled by default when you launch the DJI GO app for the first
time. The aircraft’s altitude and flight distance is restricted when flying in Beginner Mode. We
recommend you fly in Beginner Mode when using the aircraft for the first time. You may disable
Beginner Mode in the settings page of the DJI GO app.
Calibrate the compass by tapping the Aircraft Status Bar in the app and selecting “Calibrate”. Then
follow the on-screen instructions.
Installing the 1345T Propellers: Attach the propellers with white arrows onto the motors with white arrows,
and attach the propellers with red arrows onto the motors with red arrows. To attach the propeller, rotate
the propeller lock to align the arrows on the mounting plate and propeller lock. Attach the propeller and
then rotate the propeller lock until the arrows on the propeller and propeller lock are aligned.

return home procedure is in process.
Press once to stop the procedure.
2. The DJI GO app notifies users to take
action when the battery level falls to a
specified threshold. This warning
threshold can be set within the DJI

The Intelligent Flight Battery must warm-up if the outside temperature is low. A warning will
display in the DJI GO app.
ȕRotating propellers can be dangerous. Do not start the motors when there are people nearby
and always fly in a wide open area.
ȕNever stop the motors during flight. Always keep your hands on the remote controller so long as
the motor is still spinning. Power off the aircraft before turning off the remote controller after landing.
