Product Profile
Introduction
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. 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. Dual frequency
support in the remote controller makes the HD video downlink more efficient and more stable.

Feature Highlights
Upgraded TapflyTM and ActiveTrackTM commands in the DJI GO 4 app, the Inspire 2 flies anywhere
visible on-screen with a tap and tracks moving subjects effortlessly.

Flight Controller: The flight controller has been updated to provide a safer, more reliable flight
experience. A new flight recorder stores critical data from each flight. A system of visual sensors
enhance hovering precision when flying indoors or in environments where GPS is unavailable. Dual
IMUs and barometers design provides redundancy.

HD Video Downlink: The low-latency long range (up to 4.3mi (7km)) HD downlink is powered by an
en­hanced version of DJI LIGHTBRIDGETM. Support of 2.4 GHz and 5.8 GHz ensures a more reliable
con­nection in environments with more interference.

Camera and Gimbal: 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 ZENMUSETM X5S, the ability to capture RAW videos. Lossless video (in
CinemaDNG and ProRes format), and DNG RAW photo burst shooting will be available when DJI
CINESSDTM used.*

Intelligent Flight Battery: The new DJI Intelligent Flight Battery features upgraded battery cells and
an advanced power management system providing up to 25-minutes of flight with a Zenmuse X5S,
23-minutes with a Zenmuse X7 and 27-minutes with a Zenmuse X4S.**

* 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.

Aircraft
This chapter describes the features of
the Flight Controller, Vision System and
the Intelligent Flight Battery.
Aircraft
Flight Controller
The Inspire 2 flight controller features several important upgrades. Safety modes include Failsafe
and Return-to-Home. These features ensure the safe return of your aircraft if the control signal is
lost. The flight controller can also save critical flight data from each flight to the on-board storage
device. The new flight controller also provides increased stability and a new air braking feature.

Flight Mode
Three flight modes are available. The details of each flight mode are found in the section below:
P-mode (Positioning) :
P-mode works best when the GPS signal is strong. The aircraft utilizes the GPS and Forward
and Downward Vision Systems to locate itself, automatically stabilize, and navigate between
obstacles. Advanced features such as TapFly and ActiveTrack are enabled in this mode.
When the Forward Vision System is enabled and lighting conditions are sufficient, the maximum
flight attitude angle is 25°. When forward obstacle sensing are disabled, the maximum flight
attitude angle is 35°.
When the GPS signal is weak and lighting conditions are too dark for the Forward and
Downward Vision Systems, the aircraft will only use its barometer for positioning to control
altitude.
Note: P-mode requires larger stick movements to achieve high speeds.
S-mode (Sport):
The aircraft is using GPS for positioning. As Forward and Downward Vision Systems are
disabled, the aircraft will not be able to sense and avoid obstacles when in Sport Mode. Ground
Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also not available in Sport Mode.
Note: Aircraft responses are optimized for agility and speed making it more responsive to stick
movements.
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. Ground Station and the Intelligent Flight functions are also
not available in A-mode.

The forward Vision System is disabled in S-mode (Sport), which means the aircraft will
not be able to automatically avoid obstacles in its flight path. Be vigilant and stay clear
of nearby obstacles.
The aircraft’s maximum speed and braking distance are significantly increased in S-mode
(Sport). A minimum braking distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless
conditions.
The aircraft’s responsiveness is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport), which means a small
stick movement on the remote controller will translate into a large travel distance of the aircraft.
Be vigilant and maintain adequate maneuvering space during flight.
The aircraft’s descent speed is significantly increased in S-mode (Sport). A minimum braking
distance of 164 feet (50 meters) is required in windless conditions.

Use the Flight Controller mode switch to change the flight mode of the aircraft.

INSPIRE 2 SERIES User Manual

Atti Mode Warning


The aircraft will enter A-mode in the following two instances:
Passive: When there is weak GPS signal or when the compass experiences interference where the
Vision System is unavailable.
Active: Users toggle the flight mode switch to A-mode.

In A-mode, the Vision System and some advanced features are disabled. Therefore, the aircraft
cannot position or auto-brake in this mode and is easily affected by its surroundings, which may
result in horizontal shifting. Use the remote controller to position the aircraft.
Maneuvering the aircraft in A-mode can be difficult. Before switching the aircraft into A-mode, make
sure you are comfortable flying in this mode. DO NOT fly the aircraft too far away as you might lose
control and cause a potential hazard.
Avoid flying in areas where GPS signal is weak, or in confined spaces. The aircraft will otherwise be
forced to enter A-mode, leading to potential flight hazards, please land it in a safe place as soon as
possible.

Flight Status Indicator


The Inspire 2 comes with the Front LED, Rear LED and Aircraft Status Indicator. The positions of
these LEDs are shown in the figure below:
Aircraft Status Indicator

Front LED Rear LED

The Front LEDs show the orientation of the aircraft. The Front LEDs glow solid red when the aircraft
is turned on to indicate the front (or nose) of the aircraft (Front and rear LEDs can be turned off
in the DJI GO 4 app). The Aircraft Status Indicator communicates the system status of the flight
controller. Refer to the table below for more information about the Aircraft Status Indicator.

Return-to-Home (RTH)
Return-to-Home (RTH) function brings the aircraft back to the last recorded Home Point. There are
three types of RTH: Smart RTH, Low Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH. This section describes these
three scenarios in detail.
GPS Description
If a strong GPS signal was acquired before takeoff, the Home Point is
the location from which the aircraft launched. The GPS signal strength is
Home Point indicated by the GPS icon ( Less than 4 bars is considered a weak
GPS signal.). The aircraft status indicator will blink rapidly when the home
point is recorded.

The aircraft can sense and avoid obstacles when the Forward Vision System is enabled and
lighting conditions are sufficient. The aircraft will automatically climb up to avoid obstacles and
descend slowly as it returns to the home point. To ensure the aircraft returns home forwards, it
cannot rotate or fly left and right during RTH while the Forward Vision System is enabled.

Smart RTH
Use the RTH button on the remote controller or tap the RTH button in the DJI GO 4 app and
follow the on-screen instructions when GPS is available to initiate Smart RTH. The aircraft will
then automatically return to the last recorded Home Point. Use the remote controller to control the
aircraft’s speed or altitude to avoid a collision during the Smart RTH process. As the aircraft returns,
it will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 300m in front, allowing it to plan a safe
route home. Press and hold the Smart RTH button once to start the process, and press the Smart
RTH button again to terminate the procedure and regain full control of the aircraft.

Low Battery RTH (Can be turned off in DJI GO 4 app)


The low battery level failsafe is triggered when the DJI Intelligent Flight Battery is depleted to a point
that may affect the safe return of the aircraft. Users are advised to return home or land the aircraft
immediately when prompted. The DJI GO 4 app will display a notice when a low battery warning
is triggered. The aircraft will automatically return to the Home Point if no action is taken after a ten-
second countdown. The user can cancel the RTH procedure by pressing the RTH button on the
remote controller. The thresholds for these warnings are automatically determined based on the
aircraft’s current altitude and distance from the Home Point. If the RTH procedure is cancelled

following a low battery level warning the Intelligent Flight Battery may not have enough charge for
the aircraft to land safely, which may lead to the aircraft crashing or being lost.
The aircraft will land automatically if the current battery level can only support the aircraft long
enough to descend from its current altitude. The user cannot cancel the auto landing but can use
the remote controller to alter the aircraft’s orientation during the landing process.

Failsafe RTH
If the Home Point was successfully recorded and the compass is functioning normally, Failsafe RTH
will be automatically activated if the remote controller signal is lost for more than three seconds.
The aircraft will plan its return route and retrace its original flight route home. The user may cancel
Failsafe RTH to regain control when connection is reestablished.

RTH Procedure
1. Home Point is recorded automatically.
2. RTH procedure is triggered i.e., Smart RTH, Low-Battery RTH, and Failsafe RTH.
3. Home Point is confirmed and the aircraft adjusts its orientation.
4. a. The aircraft will ascend to the pre-set RTH attitude and then fly to the Home Point when the
aircraft is further than 20 m from the Home Point.
b. The aircraft will land automatically if RTH is triggered and the aircraft is less than 20 m from the
home point.
5. The aircraft will hover 0.7 m above ground and wait for confirmation from the user. The aircraft
will land and stop its motors after user confirmation.
Use the Failsafe RTH for example:

Aircraft cannot return to the Home Point when GPS signal is weak ( [ ] Less than 4
bars is considered a weak GPS signal) or unavailable.
User cannot control the aircraft while the aircraft is ascending to 65 feet (20 meters) from
the current altitude. However, users can press the RTH button once to exit ascending and
regain control.
The aircraft will automatically descend and land if RTH is triggered when the aircraft flies
within a 65 feet (20 meters) radius of the Home Point. The aircraft will stop ascending and
will return to the Home Point if the aircraft reaches 65 feet (20 meters) in altitude or beyond
during Failsafe.
The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH if the Forward Vision System is
disabled. It is important to set a suitable RTH Altitude before each flight. Launch DJI GO 4,
enter camera and tap to set Failsafe Altitude.

Failsafe Safety Notices

The aircraft cannot avoid obstacles during Failsafe RTH when the

Obstacle Avoidance During RTH


Aircraft can now sense and actively attempt to avoid obstacles during RTH, provided that the
lighting conditions are adequate for the Forward Vision System. Upon detecting an obstacle, the
aircraft will act as follows:
1. The aircraft will use the primary camera to identify obstacles as far as 984 feet (300 meters) in
front, allowing it to plan a safe route home.
2. The aircraft decelerates when an obstacle is sensed at 49 feet (15 meters) ahead.
3.The aircraft stops and hover then start ascending vertically to avoid the obstacle. Eventually, the
aircraft will stop climbing when it is at least 16 feet (5 meters) above the detected obstacle.
4. Failsafe RTH procedure resume, the aircraft will continue flying to the Home Point at the current altitude.

Landing Protection Function


Landing Protection will activate during auto landing.
1. Landing Protection determines whether the ground is suitable for landing. If so, the Inspire 2 will
land gently.
2. If Landing Protection determines that the ground is not suitable for landing, the Inspire 2 will hover
and wait for pilot confirmation. The aircraft will hover if it detects the ground is not appropriate for
landing even with a critically low battery warning. Only when the battery level decreases to 0% will
the aircraft land. Users retain control of aircraft flight orientation.
3. If Landing Protection is inactive, the DJI GO 4 app will display a landing prompt when the Inspire 2
descends below 0.7 meters. Tap to confirm or pull down the control stick for 2 seconds to land when
the environment is appropriate for landing.

Landing Protection will not be active in the following circumstances:


When the user is controlling the pitch/roll/throttle sticks (Landing ground detection will
re-activate when control sticks are not in use)
When the positioning system is not fully functional (e.g. drift position error)
When the downward vision system needs re-calibration
When light conditions are not sufficient for the downward vision system
If an obstacle is within 1-meter of the aircraft, the aircraft will descend to 0.7m above the
ground and hover. The aircraft will land upon with user confirmation.

Intelligent Flight Modes


The aircraft supports Intelligent Flight Modes, including TapFly, ActiveTrack, and Tripod Mode. Tap
in DJI GO 4 or press the Function button on the remote controller to enable an Intelligent Flight Mode.
When an Intelligent Flight Mode is enabled, the gimbal camera will record vision system image data
and store it in the flight data record system. It will stop recording when the Intelligent Flight Mode
is disabled. Vision system image data is used to help improve Intelligent Flight Mode security and
accuracy by matching it to its data history.

TapFly
Introduction
With the TapFly feature, users can now tap on the mobile device screen to fly in the designated direction
without using the remote controller. The aircraft will automatically avoid obstacles it sees or brake and hover

Vision System and Infrared Sensing System


The main components of the Vision System are located on the front and bottom of the Inspire 2,
including [1] [2] two stereo vision sensors and [3] two ultrasonic sensors. The Vision Sys­tem uses
ultrasound and image data to help the aircraft maintain its current position, enabling precision hov-
ering indoors or in environments where a GPS signal is not available. The Vision System constantly
scans for obstacles, allowing the Inspire 2 to avoid them by going over, around, or hovering.
When you turn on the aircraft, the vision system will record the flight environment and will store
its vision system image data in the flight data record system. Vision system image data is used to
improve the performance of positioning reliability and accuracy by matching it to current real-time
environments.
The Infrared Sensing System consists [4] of two infrared modules on top side of the aircraft. These
scan for obstacles on top side of the aircraft and is active in certain flight modes.

Assisted Braking from Obstacle Sensing


Powered by the Obstacle Sensing, the aircraft will now be able to actively brake when obstacles
are detected around the aircraft. Note that Obstacle Sensing function works best when lighting
is adequate and the obstacle is clearly marked or textured. The aircraft must fly at no more than
31mph (50kph) to allow sufficient braking distance.

The forward vision system will be disabled after the landing gear lowers. Stay alert.
The performance of your Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are affected by the surface
being flown over. Ultrasonic sensors may not be able to accurately measure distances when
operating above 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 neither
GPS nor Vision System and Infrared Sensing System are available. Operate the aircraft with
great caution in the following situations:
a) Flying over monochrome surfaces (e.g. pure black, pure white, pure red, pure green).
b) Flying over a highly reflective surfaces.
c) Flying at high speeds of over 31mph (50kph) at 2 meters or over 11mph (18kph) at 1
meter.
d) Flying over water or transparent surfaces.
e) Flying over moving surfaces or objects.
f) Flying in an area where the lighting changes frequently or drastically.
g) Flying over extremely dark (lux < 10) or bright (lux > 100,000) surfaces.
h) Flying over surfaces that can absorb sound waves (e.g. thick carpet).
i) Flying over surfaces without clear patterns or texture.
j) Flying over surfaces with identical repeating patterns or textures (e.g. tiling).
k) Flying over inclined surfaces that will deflect sound waves away from the aircraft.
l) Flying over obstacles with too small effective infrared reflective surface.
m) DO NOT position the sides of two aircraft toward each other to avoid interference between
the 3D infrared modules.
n) DO NOT cover the protective glass of the infrared module. Keep it clean and undamaged.

Keep sensors clean at all times. Dirt or other debris may adversely affect their effectiveness.
Vision System is only effective when the aircraft is at altitudes of 0.3 to 10 meters.
The Vision System may not function properly when the aircraft is flying over water.
The Vision System may not be able to recognize pattern on the ground in low light
conditions (less than 100 lux).
Do not use other ultrasonic devices with frequency of 40 KHz when Vision System is in
operation.

Keep animals away from the aircraft when Vision System is activated. The sonar sensor
emits high frequency sounds that are audible to some animals.

Flight
This chapter describes the flight safety
and flight restrictions.
Flight
Once pre-flight preparation is complete, it is recommended that you use the flight simulator in the
DJI GO 4 app to hone your flight skills and practice flying safely. Ensure that all flights are carried
out in an open area.

Flight Environment Requirements


1. Do not use the aircraft in severe weather conditions. These include wind speeds exceeding 10
m/s , snow, rain and fog.
2. Only fly in open areas. Tall structures and large metal structures may affect the accuracy of the
on-board compass and GPS system.
3. Avoid obstacles, crowds, high voltage power lines, trees, and bodies of water.
4. Minimize interference by avoiding areas with high levels of electromagnetism, including base
stations and radio transmission towers.
5. Aircraft and battery performance is subject to environmental factors such as air density and
temperature. Be very careful when flying at high altitudes, as the performance of the battery and
aircraft may be affected.
6. 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 Limits and No-Fly Zones


All unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) operators should abide by all regulations set forth by government
and regulatory agencies including the ICAO and the FAA. For safety reasons, flights are limited by
default, which helps users operate this product safely and legally. Flight limitations include height
limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones.
When operating in P-mode, height limits, distance limits, and No-Fly Zones function concurrently to
manage flight safety. In A-mode, only height limits are in effect, which by default prevent the aircraft
altitude from exceeding 1640 feet (500 m) .

Maximum flight altitude & Radius Limits


Maximum flight altitude and radius limits may be changed in the DJI GO 4 app. Be aware that the
maximum flight altitude cannot exceed 1640 feet (500 meters). In accordance with these settings,
your Inspire 2 will fly in a restricted cylinder, as shown below:

If the aircraft flies out of the limit, you can still control the aircraft, but you cannot fly it any
farther.
If the aircraft flies out of the max radius it will fly back within range automatically when GPS
signal is strong.

No-Fly Zones
All No-Fly Zones are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/flysafe/no-fly. No-Fly
Zones are divided into Airports and Restricted Areas. Airports include major airports and flying
fields 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 Zone are comprised of Take-off Restricted zones and Restricted Altitude Zones.
Each zone features circles of various sizes.
(2) R1 miles (value of the R1 depends on the size and shape of the airport) around the airport is a
Take-off restricted zone, inside of which take off is prevented.
(3) From R1 mile to R1 + 1 mile around the airport the flight altitude is limited to a 15 degree
inclination. Starting at 65 feet (20 meters) from the edge of airport and radiating outward. The
flight altitude is limited to 1640 feet (500 meters) at R1+1 mile.
(4) When the aircraft enters within 320 feet (100 meters) of No-Fly Zones, a warning message will
appear on the DJI GO 4 app.
