INSPIRE 1 AIR MAVIC MINI Drone

INSPIRE 1
The Inspire™ 1 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 20mm  lens and 3-axis stabilized gimbal, it shoots sharp 12mp 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 stable, safe and easy to fly indoors or out. The brand new Vision Positioning System (VPS) gives it the power to hover in  position at low altitudes even without GPS. Like all DJI flight 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 boasts a maximum flight speed 20m/s and a maximum flight time of 18.5 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 should be taken as reference only.

Remote Controller

The maximum transmission distance of the Inspire 1 remote controller is 5km*. The remote controller also allows you to control the landing gear or activate Return to Home  with a tap. Other buttons allow instant photo capture, video recording, picture review and gimbal control.
A DJI Lightbridge-based HD video downlink is built-in, letting you see what your camera sees on your mobile device in real time HD. The app also allows you to change  camera settings and activate Master/Slave mode so that one person can fly while other controls the gimbal independently. The master and slave controllers communicate  using a 5.8Ghz wireless signal, and have a communication range with each other of up to 50 meters. The controller’s Lipoid battery has a maximum run time of approximately four hours and can be charged by plugging directly into the controller.

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 Safety Guidelines and Disclaimer for more information.

No Fly Zones

More information at: http://flysafe.dji.com/no-fly

• Be very careful when flying 14,700 feet (4,500 meters) or more above sea level as the battery and aircraft performance may be reduced.
• The Inspire 1’s compass and GPS will not work in Polar Regions. The aircraft will auto switch to ATTI Mode and use the VPS for positioning.

● 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:

1. DO NOT calibrate your compass where there is a chance of strong magnetic interference, such as magnetite, parking structures, and steel reinforcements underground.
2. DO NOT carry ferromagnetic materials with you during calibration such as cellular phones.
3. 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.

● P Mode:
In this mode, the Inspire 1 has a strong GPS signal and can use the VPS allowing it to hover accurately in position indoors and out. If outdoors, this mode also means that a
Home Point has been locked so that it can Return to Home if the control signal is lost.

If you are not in this mode, toggle the Flight Mode Switch to P position to enable it.
The Flight Mode Switch is locked in P mode by default.
Refer to the User Manual on how to unlock the switch.
There are three states in P mode.
P-GPS: GPS works best when outdoors in a wide open area, and your Inspire 1 uses GPS to hover in place when the GPS signal is strong. P-OPTI: If GPS is not available,  the aircraft can use the VPS to hover accurately. P-ATTI: Neither GPS or VPS available, aircraft is using only its barometer for positioning, so only altitude is controlled. Note  that the VPS may not work properly when the Inspire 1 is flying over water, over surfaces without a clear pattern, or in a low light environment.

● Return to Home:
When the GPS signal is strong, the aircraft will be able to record a Home Point and return to the Home Point when needed. The GPS location is recorded when the GPS  signal icon in the DJI GO app is either yellow or green.
The aircraft will return to the Home Point automatically in the following cases (all require a strong GPS signal).
Smart RTH: When you press the RTH button on the remote controller or in the App. Low Battery RTH: The DJI GO app notifies users to take action when the battery level  falls to a specified threshold.
Failsafe RTH: When the remote controller signal is lost.

• While returning home, its altitude can be adjusted by the user to avoid obstructions. Tall buildings may affect the remote controller signal. The Failsafe Return to Home procedure will be triggered if the signal is lost. Be sure fly higher than any nearby buildings to avoid crashing.
