• Live HD View: A real-time 720p HD feed from the camera is displayed on your mobile device, allowing for precise framing of shots.
• Optical Flow Positioning: Utilizes downward-facing sensors for stable flight close to the ground, enabling indoor flight and low-altitude hovering without GPS.
• Responsive Controls: The remote controller features sensitive control sticks for precise flight maneuvers and dedicated buttons for instant photo and video capture.
• Dual Operator Mode: A second remote controller can be used to allow a dedicated camera operator to control the gimbal and camera independently, while the pilot focuses on flight.

3. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your Inspire 1:

• Battery Care: Regularly charge and discharge the intelligent flight battery to maintain its health. If the battery is not working, try fully charging and discharging it. Connect the battery to the charger and push the power button while connected to see if it starts. If not, connect the battery to the charger and wait for at least 10 minutes.
• Propeller Inspection: Before each flight, ensure all propellers and propeller locks are securely attached and free from damage. Replace any damaged propellers immediately.
• Gimbal and Camera: Keep the gimbal and camera lens clean and free from dust or debris. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
• Firmware Updates: Periodically check the official DJI website for firmware updates for both the aircraft and the remote controller to ensure optimal performance and access to new features.

4. Troubleshooting

Common issues and their solutions:

• Aircraft Not Powering On:
  1. Ensure the intelligent flight battery is fully charged.

• Remote Controller Not Connecting:

  Ensure both the aircraft and remote controller are powered on correctly. If they do not link, power both devices off and on again, and attempt to re-link them according to the quick start guide.

• Unstable Flight/Drifting:

  Perform a compass calibration in an open area away from magnetic interference. Check propellers for damage or improper installation.

• No Live Video Feed:

  Ensure your mobile device is correctly connected to the remote controller via USB and the DJI GO app is running. Check for any loose connections or app errors.
