Inspire 2 Drone Camera

Inspire 2
The INSPIRE™ 2 is a powerful aerial film making system with class leading agility and speed, redundancy features for maximum reliability, and new, smart features that make capturing complex shots easy. A new airframe design together with dual batteries boost flight time to 25* minutes.
The camera unit is now independent from image processor so that you have the flexibility to choose the perfect gimbal and camera** system for each of your scenes. This means that regardless of which camera you choose, you have the same powerful processing backing it, and when using the Zenmuse X5S, the ability to capture RAW videos.

  • Max runtime is tested in a laboratory environment, with the aircraft hovering at sea level with no wind. Performance may vary depending on local conditions.
    ** Gimbal and camera can be purchased separately on the official DJI Online Store.
    *** Lossless video (CinemaDNG, ProRes) and DNG RAW photo burst shooting will be available when using DJI CINESSD. You can purchase the
    DJI CINESSD and DJI CINESSD STATION separately on the official DJI Online Store. CinemaDNG and ProRes formats will be available when the appropriate license is purchased and applied. The Inspire 2 L ships with both ProRes and CinemaDNG pre-activated; the Inspire 2 ProRes ships with ProRes pre-activated.

Remote Controller

The Inspire 2 remote controller features DJI’s LIGHTBRIDGE™  technology for a maximum transmission distance of up to 4.3 mi (7km)*. While flying the aircraft, you have a live HD view directly within the DJI GO™ 4 app on your paired device for a precise and responsive flying  experience. When in dual remote controller mode, each of the two remote controllers separately control aircraft and camera and can be up to 328 feet (100m) apart.
The maximum run-time of the remote controller’s LiPo battery is approx. four hours**.

Camera - 6* The remote controller is able to reach its maximum transmission distance (FCC) in a wide open area with no Electro-Magnetic interference, and at an altitude of about 400 feet (120 meters).
** The maximum run-time is tested without supplying power to a smart device.

Basic Knowledge

Fly Safe
DJI encourages you to enjoy flying in a safe, responsible and smart way.

DO NOT FLY near or above people, near trees, power lines or buildings.

DO NOT FLY in rain, snow, fog, and wind speeds exceeding 22 mph or 10 m/s.

DO MONITOR YOUR ALTITUDE and fly under 400 feet (120 meters).
DO MAINTAIN LINE OF SIGHT and avoid flying behind buildings or obstacles that block your view.

It is important to understand basic flight guidelines for the safety of both you and those around you. Refer to the Disclaimer and Safety Guidelines for more information.

  • Be very careful when flying at high altitude as aircraft performance may be reduced. It is recommended to use a specially-designed propeller when flying at high altitude.
  • The compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will auto switch to A-mode and use the Vision System for positioning.

Flight Mode
P-mode (Positioning): P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Vision System to automatically stabilize itself, navigate between
obstacles or track a moving object. Advanced features such as TapFly™ and ActiveTrack ™ are enabled in this mode.
S-mode (Sport): The handling gain values of the aircraft are adjusted in order to enhance the maneuverability of the aircraft in S-mode. Note that the Vision System is disabled in this mode. A-mode (Attitude): When neither the GPS nor the Vision System is available, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control the altitude.

dji Inspire 2 Drone Camera - 10

Toggle the flight mode switch on the remote controller to ‘P’ and wait for a stable satellite count before takeoff.

  • S-mode and A-mode should be enabled in the DJI GO 4 app.
  • The Downward Vision System will not work properly over surfaces that do not have pattern variations, over water or in low light conditions (< 15 lux).

dji Inspire 2 Drone Camera - 11

Return-to-Home
It is important to take off with a strong GPS signal (GPS icon is followed by at least four bars) to ensure that the Home Point is recorded by the aircraft. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point in the following cases.
Smart RTH : The pilot presses the RTH button. Low Battery RTH: The battery level is low or critically low.
Failsafe RTH: Remote controller signal is lost. The aircraft can sense obstacles at a distance up to 300 meters, then automatically avoid obstacle and fly to the Home Point.
The Forward Vision System will work properly over surfaces with a clear pattern and adequate lighting (>15lux).
Using Inspire 2

Download the DJI GO 4 App

Search ‘DJI GO 4’ on the App Store or Google Play and download the app to your mobile device.

Charge the Batteries

Press the release button and open the corresponding charging port cover. Insert the Intelligent Flight Battery into the charging port to begin charging.

dji Inspire 2 Drone Camera - 13

  • The Intelligent Flight Battery must be fully charged before using it for the first time. Make sure to press the release button on the Charging Hub’s top when removing the fully charged battery.
  • Only use the official DJI charger and Charging Hub with your Intelligent Flight Battery and remote controller.
  • When charging is complete, the LED lights on the Intelligent Flight Battery will turn off, and the LED on the Charging Hub will show green.
  • Power off the remote controller before charging. When charging is complete, the LED lights on the remote controller will turn off.
  • The Charging Hub will sound a signal when the battery has been fully charged. The sound can be turned on or off by toggling the switch under the hub.
  • Press the button on the battery once to check the battery level.
  • Install the battery to the aircraft and power on. Once the battery temperature is lower than 15℃,it will auto heat to maintain a temperature between 15-20℃.
  • Pairing batteries is recommended. This can be done inside DJI GO 4 app. Ensure each battery pair is charged and discharged simultaneously to prolong their service life and for a better flight experience.

Prepare the Remote Controller

Unfold the mobile device holder and the antennas.

Optimal Transmission Range

Try to keep the aircraft inside the optimal transmission range. If the signal is weak, adjust the antennas or fly the aircraft closer.

dji Inspire 2 Drone Camera - 17

Dual Remote Controllers
You are required to link the Master and Slave remote controllers.
Regarding the Master RC, launch the DJI GO 4 app and enter GO FLY. Tap on the top of your screen to enter the RC Settings. Set the RC Status as ‘Master’, and then  enter the  desired connection password. Repeat to set Slave RC Status to ‘Slave’. Then tap Search for Master RC and connect to the Master RC with your preset password.

  • Dual frequency support makes the HD video downlink more stable. Note that the Russian only have the 2.4G frequency.
  • DO NOT operate more than 3 aircrafts within the same area (size equivalent to a soccer field) to prevent transmission interference.

Controls

The stick mode is set to Mode 2 by default (left hand throttle). The left stick controls the aircraft’s elevation and heading. The right stick controls the aircraft’s forward, backward and lateral movements. To adjust the FPV camera, press and hold the C2 Button and rotate the control dial.

Double beep… RTH in progress.

  • Rotating propellers can be dangerous. DO NOT start the motors in narrow spaces or when there are people nearby.
  • Always keep your hands on the remote controller so long as the motor is still spinning.
  • After landing, power off the aircraft before turning off the remote controller.
  • Take off from a flat surface in a wide open space, with the rear of the aircraft facing towards you.
  • Intelligent landing gear will automatically raise after takeoff and lower when landing.
  • They can also be controlled manually using the Transformation Switch.
  • The aircraft will not be able to land if the landing gear does not lower.

Manual Landing

  1. Ensure the landing gear is lowered before landing.
  2. Pull left stick down (slowly) until you touch the ground. Hold a few seconds to stop the motors.

Stop motor mid-flight: Press the RTH button while simultaneously pulling the left stick to the bottom inside corner and hold for 3 seconds. Only stop motors mid-flight in emergency situations when doing so can reduce the risk of damage or injury.
