STANDARD OPERATING PROCEDURES
Operating the DJI INSPIRE™ 2 Drone
General
I.
This standard operating procedure references the user manual provided by DJI manufacturer in
terms of the operating procedure of the DJI INSPIRE™ 2. The INSPIRE™ 2 is a filmmaking drone
that integrates an HD video transmission system and 360° rotating gimbal. The drone weighs 7.58
lbs (3440 g, including two batteries, without gimbal and camera), and the maximum takeoff weight
is 9.37 lbs (4250 g). The camera unit is independent from the image processor, and a Zenmuse
X5S™ camera is used to capture RAW videos for the data collection task. The drone has a dual
battery system that prolongs the flight time to a maximum of 25 minutes, and its operating
temperature should be within the range of -4° to 104° F (-20° to 40° C). Figure 1 shows the front

  • Page 1 This standard operating procedure references the user manual provided by DJI manufacturer in terms of the operating procedure of the DJI INSPIRE™ 2. The INSPIRE™ 2 is a filmmaking drone that integrates an HD video transmission system and 360° rotating gimbal. The drone weighs 7.58 lbs (3440 g, including two batteries, without gimbal and camera), and the maximum takeoff weight is 9.37 lbs (4250 g).
  • Page 2 Figure 2. DJI INSPIRE™ 2 Drone Diagram Operating Procedures The drone operating procedures can be separated into three stages: pre-flight, during flight and post-flight. During each stage, the drone will have a corresponding flight mode. For the pre-flight stage, the drone should change from travel to landing mode, then after takeoff, the drone will transform into flight mode, and once the drone is landed, it will switch back to the initial travel mode.
  • Page 3 DJI aircraft during flight. If the drone is not connected to the app, then the flight is restricted to a height of 98 ft (30 m) and distance of 164 ft (50 m) for safety reasons. The DJI GO™ 4 app can be found in the App Store or Google Play Store and may be downloaded to a mobile device.
  • Page 4 Step 2: If the battery pair is fully charged, insert them into the battery slots located at the end of the drone. It is encouraged to use paired batteries for better performance. It should be noted that the battery slot located on the right-hand side should be used when using only one battery to supply power.
  • Page 5 Since the drone is used for video/image data collection, it is necessary to equip the drone with a Micro SD card to store the captured photos and videos. The Inspire 2™ comes with a 16 GB Micro SD card and supports up to a 128 GB Micro SD card. A UHS-3 type Micro SD card is recommended, because the fast read and write capability of these cards enables users to store high-resolution video data.
