Page 6: Introduction
Vision Positioning technology provides hovering precision. Feature Highlights 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.
Page 7: Installing The Gimbal And Camera
(e.g. carpet) before switching between the travel modes and landing mode. Installing the Gimbal and Camera The following steps use the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH as illustration of how to mount the camera lens to the camera body. Be sure to power off the battery before installation.
Page 8 A filter can be installed in place of the Camera Balancing Ring. Remember to use a filter that fulfills the weight requirement. The Lens Hood can only be installed on the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH or Panasonic Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH. DO NOT install the Lens Hood on the Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12mm f/2.0.
Page 9 Filters must have a weigh 7 - 11 g, with those weighing 10 - 11 g performing the best. Outside this range, the filter will decrease gimbal performance. DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH supports filters have a size of 46mm. The Balancing Ring must be installed on the camera lens when a filter is not used.

Page 16 Low Battery RTH The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft immediately when these warnings are shown.
Page 17: Dynamic Home Point
(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 flight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera” view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.
Page 18: 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 Pro 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 Pro, including [1]two sonar sensors and[2]one monocular camera.
Page 19 Inspire 1 Pro will hover in place. The performance of your Inspire 1 Pro’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.
Page 20: Flight Recorder
ONLY use original DJI propellers for a better and safer flight experience. DJI Intelligent Flight Battery The DJI Intelligent Flight Battery has a capacity of 4500mAh, voltage of 22.2V, and smart charge- discharge functionality. It can only be charged with an appropriate DJI approved charger.

Page 22 5℃ before using it in the low temperature environment. 5. When using the Inspire 1 Pro in a low temperature environment, begin by allowing the aircraft to hover at a low altitude, for approximately one minute, to heat the battery.
Page 23 Do not charge the Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller with standard charger (model: A14-100P1A) at the same time, otherwise the charger may overheat. Always turn off the battery before inserting it or removing it from the Inspire 1 Pro. Never insert or remove a battery when it is powered on.
Page 24 Leave it on until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on. Launch the DJI GO app to check battery level. Rapid: Fly the Inspire 1 Pro outdoors until there is less than 5% of power left, or until the battery can no longer be turned on.
