Flight Status Indicator

The Inspire 1 RAW comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of

these LEDs are shown in the gure below:

The Front and Rear LED show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LED displays solid red and the

Rear LED displays solid green.

Aircraft Status Indicator shows the system status of the ight controller. Refer to the table below for more

information about the Aircraft Status Indicator:

Aircraft

Flight Controller

The Inspire 1 RAW’s ight controller is based on DJI ight controller with several enhancements such

as new ight mode and new safe mode. Three safe modes are available: Failsafe, Return Home and

Dynamic Home Point. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is lost. A

ight recorder stores crucial ight data for each ight.

Flight Mode

Three ight modes are available. The details of each ight mode are found in the section below:

P mode (Positioning) : P mode works best when GPS signal is strong. There are three different states of P

mode, which will be automatically selected by the Inspire 1 RAW depending on GPS signal strength and

Vision Positioning sensors:

P-GPS: GPS and Vision Positioning both are available, and the aircraft is using GPS for positioning.

P-OPTI: Vision Positioning is available but the GPS signal is not. Aircraft is using only Vision

Positioning for hovering

P-ATTI: Neither GPS or Vision Positioning available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning,

so only altitude is controlled.

A mode (Attitude): The GPS and Vision Positioning System is not used for holding position. The aircraft

only uses its barometer to maintain altitude. If it is still receiving a GPS signal, the aircraft can automatically

return home if the Remote Controller signal is lost and if the Home Point has been recorded successfully.

F mode (Function): Intelligent Orientation Control (IOC) is activated in this mode. For more information

about IOC, refer to the IOC in Appendix.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the ight mode of the aircraft, refer to the “Flight

Mode Switch” on P30 for more information.

Aircraft cannot avoid obstruction during the Failsafe RTH, therefore it is important to set an

reasonable Failsafe altitude before each ight. Launch the DJI GO app and enter “Camera”

view and select “MODE” to set the Failsafe altitude.

Aircraft will stop ascending and immediately return to the Home Point if you move the throttle

stick if the aircraft reaches 20 m altitudes or beyond during Failsafe.

When the critical battery level warning activates and the aircraft is descending to land

automatically, you may push the throttle upward to hover the aircraft and navigate it to a more

appropriate location for landing.

Color zones and markers on the battery level indicator reect estimated remaining ight time

and are adjusted automatically, according to the aircraft’s current status.

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 RAW can hover in place

more precisely and y 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 RAW, including [1] two

sonar sensors and [2] one monocular camera.

Using Vision Positioning

Vision Positioning is activated automatically when the Inspire 1 RAW is powered on. No manual action

is required. Vision Positioning is typically used in the indoor environment where no GPS is available. By

using the sensors on the Vision Positioning system, Inspire 1 RAW can perform precision hovering even

when no GPS is available.

User Manual

INSPIRE RAW

Follow the steps below to use Vision Positioning:

1. Toggle the switch to “P” as shown the gure to the right:

2. Place the Inspire 1 RAW on a flat surface. Notice that the Vision Positioning

system cannot work properly on surfaces without pattern variations.

3. Power on the Inspire 1 RAW. The aircraft status indicator will ash twice in green

light, which indicates the Vision Positioning system is ready. Gently push the

throttle up to lift off, and the Inspire 1 RAW will hover in place.

The performance of your Inspire 1 RAW’s Vision Positioning System is subject to the surface

you are ying 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. The aircraft will switch from “P” mode to “A” mode automatically if both GPS and

Vision Positioning System are not available. So operate the aircraft cautiously when in any of the

following situations:

Vision Positioning system may not be able to stabilize the aircraft when flying close to the

ground (below 0.5 meters) in fast speed.

Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).

Flying over a highly reective surfaces.

Flying at high speeds (over 8 m/s at 2 meters or over 4 m/s at 1 meter).

Flying over water or transparent surfaces.

Flying over moving surfaces or objects.

Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.

Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 10,000) surfaces.

Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).

Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.

Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiles with same design).

Flying over inclined surfaces that will deect sound waves away from the aircraft.

In the event of loss of remote controller’s signal, the aircraft will hover for 8 seconds and then

auto-land if it is in “P” mode.

Keep the sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect the effectiveness

of the sensors.

The effective hovering altitudes of the aircraft is from 0 to 3 meters.

Vision Positioning system may not function properly when the aircraft is ying over water.

Vision Positioning system may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light

conditions (less than 100lux).

Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision Positioning system is

in operation.

The thread size and weight of the Balancing Ring are included in the model number (i.e. BR-Φ46-10 has

a thread size of 46 mm and a weight of 10 g).

The Balancing Ring must be installed on the camera lens when a lter is not used.

Supported Micro SD Cards

The Zenmuse X5R comes with a 16GB Micro SD card, but also supports Micro SD cards with a capacity

of up to 64GB. We recommend using a UHS-1 Micro SD card to minimize the delay when reading and

writing high resolution video data.

DO NOT remove the Micro SD card from the Zenmuse X5R when it is powered on.

Supported X5R SSD

The Zenmuse X5R comes with an integrated 512GB X5R SSD for storing lossless and uncompressed

footage. Note that its operating temperature is 32° to 158° F (0° to 70° C).

Installing the Camera Lens

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.

1. Remove the camera body cap.

2. While holding down the Lens Release Button, rotate the Lens Lock clockwise to unlock it.

3. Remove the lens cap and rear cap.

It is recommended to wrap a dust cover around the lens to prevent contamination. DJI

produces dedicated dust covers for the DJI MFT 15mm f/1.7 ASPH and the Panasonic

Lumix G Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH. Other lenses may require you to purchase

a third-party dust cover.

It is important to tighten the Lens Lock after attaching the camera lens, as this can reduce the

vibrations of the lens when the aircraft is moving in ight. Always loosen the Lens Lock before

attaching and detaching the camera lens.

A lter can be installed in place of the Camera Balancing Ring. Remember to use a lter that

fullls the weight requirement.

Some lenses must not be used with a lens hood. Be sure to check the table above for the

accessory requirements for your lens.

Be sure to set the lens to AF mode.

Always hold down the Lens Release Button before rotating the Lens Lock to unlock it.

Always hold down the X5R SSD Release Button before removing the X5R SSD.

Be careful not to damage the Gimbal Connector and its metal contacts when attaching or storing

the Zenmuse X5R.

Attach the Zenmuse X5R

Power off the aircraft.

1. Rotate the Gimbal Lock to the unlocked position.

2. While aligning the white lines on the Gimbal Connector and Gimbal Lock, insert the Gimbal Connector.

3. Rotate the Gimbal Lock to the locked position.

4. Turn the two keys on the other end of the mounting plate 90 degrees into the slots.

Pitch Pan

User Manual

INSPIRE RAW

Follow Mode

The angle between Gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains

constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the

Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a

second remote controller.

FPV Mode

The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a First-

Person-View ying experience.

Free Mode

The Gimbal’s motion is independent of the aircraft’s orientation. One user

alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is

required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller.

Re-alignment

Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft’s orientation

by panning from gimbal’s current orientation. Pitch angle will remain

unchanged during the re-alignment.

Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground.

(2) Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take off from at,

open ground and protect the gimbal after powering up.

Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The

gimbal will recover when it dries out.

When the shutter speed is shorter than 1/125 seconds or the aircraft is flying quickly, the

aircraft’s vibration will increase and the gimbal will be affected by the greater wind, which may

cause the jello effect. It is recommended to use an ND Filter, reduce the aperture to increase

exposure time, or reduce ight speed to reduce the jello effect.

Flight

This chapter describes the flight safety

and ight restrictions.

Flight

Once pre-ight preparation is complete, it is recommended to use the ight simulator to learn how to y

safely. Ensure that all ights are carried out in a suitable location.

Flight Environment Requirements

1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speed exceeding 10m/s ,

snow, rain and smog.

2. Only y in open areas. Tall buildings and steel structures may affect the accuracy of the on-board

compass and GPS signal.

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

4. Minimize electromagnetic interference by not flying in area with high levels of electromagnetism,

including mobile phone base stations or radio transmission towers.

5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environment factor such as air density and temperature.

Be very careful when ying 14700 feet (4500 meters) or more above sea level as battery and aircraft

performance may be reduced.

6. The Inspire 1 RAW cannot operate within the polar areas in “P” mode.

Flight Limits and Flight Restriction Area

Flight limits on height and distance can be set. The details of these ight limits are described in the following

section.

All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations from such organizations as

the ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization), FAA and their own national airspace regulations. For

safety reasons, the ight limits function is enabled by default to help users use this product safely and

legally. The ight limits function includes height limits, distance limits and No Fly Zones.

When operating in P Mode, height, distance limits and No Fly Zones work together to manage ight. In A

mode only height limits work and ights cannot go higher than 120 meters.

Max Height & Radius Limits

Max Height & Radius limit ying height and distance, and the user may change these settings in the DJI

GO App. Once complete, your Inspire 1 RAW will y in a restricted cylinder that is determined by these

settings. The tables below show the details of these limits.

If you y out of the limit, you can still control the Inspire 1 RAW, but cannot y it further.

If the Inspire 1 RAW ies out of the max radius in Ready to Fly (non-GPS) mode, it will y back

within range automatically.

No-Fly Zones

All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI ofcial website at http://ysafe.dji.com/no-y. No-Fly Zones are

divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and ying elds where manned

aircraft operate at low altitudes. Restricted Areas include borders between countries or sensitive sites.

The details of the No-Fly Zones are explained below:

Airport:

(1) Airport No-Fly Zones are comprised of Takeoff Restricted Zones and Restricted-Altitude Zones. Each

zone features circles of various size.

(2) R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport, and is an area around the airport that is a Takeoff

Restricted Zone, inside of which take-off and ight is prevented.

(3) From R1 to R1+1 mile around the airport, the ight altitude is limited on a 15 degree incline, starting at

65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The ight altitude is limited to 1640

feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile.

(4) When the aircraft is within 320 feet (100 meters) of the No-Fly Zones, a warning message will appear

in the DJI GO app.

Calibrating the Compass

Only calibrate the compass when the DJI GO app or the status indicator prompt you to do so. Observe

the following rules when calibrating your compass:

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 cellular phones.

The DJI GO app will prompt you to resolve the compass issue if the compass is affected by

strong interference after calibration is complete. Follow the prompted instructions to resolve the

compass issue.

Calibration Procedures

Choose an open space to carry out the following procedures.

1. Ensure that the compass is calibrated. If you did not calibrate the compass as part of your pre-ight

preparations, or if you have moved to a new location since the last calibration, tap Aircraft Status

Indicator bar in the app and select “Calibrate”, then follow the on-screen instructions.

2. Hold and rotate the aircraft horizontally 360 degrees, and the Aircraft Status Indicator will display a

solid green light.

User Manual

INSPIRE RAW

3. Hold the aircraft vertically with nose pointing downward, and rotate it 360 degrees around the center

axis. Recalibrate the compass if the Aircraft Status Indicator show solid red.

If the Aircraft Status Indicator blinks red and yellow after the calibration, move your aircraft to a

different location to carry out compass calibration.

Launch DJI GO App, follow the on-screen instruction to calibrate the compass.

When to Recalibrate

1. When compass data is abnormal, and the Aircraft Status Indicator is blinking red and yellow.

2. When the mechanical structure of the Inspire 1 RAW has changed, i.e. changed mounting position of

the compass.

3. When severe drifting occurs in ight, i.e. the Inspire 1 RAW does not y in straight lines.

Auto Take-off and Auto Landing

Auto Take-off

Use auto take-off to take off your aircraft automatically if the Aircraft Status Indicator displays blinking

green. Follow the steps below to use auto take-off:

1. Launch DJI GO app, enter camera page.

2. Ensure the aircraft is in “P” mode.

3. Go through the pre-ight checklist.

4. Tap“

Updating Intelligent Flight Battery Firmware

The Intelligent Flight Battery is upgraded during the aircraft rmware upgrade process. It is recommended

to keep the upgrade package files in your SD card. The upgrade will start automatically after power

cycling the aircraft.

Ensure there is only one rmware package le stored on your SD card.

Only storage devices that are formatted for FAT32 and exFAT le systems are supported for

aircraft and remote controller rmware updates.

Ensure the internet connection of your mobile device is stable when downloading the rmware

update package.

Turn on Airplane Mode on your mobile device before updating the rmware, as any incoming

calls may disrupt the update process.

Do not perform rmware update while the aircraft is still ying in the air. Only carry out rmware

update when the aircraft is landed.

Be sure to update the remote controller’s rmware to the latest version after you upgrade the

aircraft’s rmware.

The remote controller may become unlinked from the aircraft after updating. Re-link the remote

controller and aircraft.
