I struggled to accomplish my first firmware update. DJI assistant 2 (DA2) downloaded normally, installed normally, opened normally. DA2 however didn't recognize my Mavic. Went back and reviewed instructions carefully, followed all steps in order. DA2 still didn't recognize my Mavic. No icon appeared on the screen. I decided to switch from my laptop to my tower and give it another try. After the 2nd attempt the Mavic icon appeared in DA2. I have no idea why - it was just another re-attempt, carefully following the instruction. Incidentally, I had viewed the DJI YouTube instruction video on DA2 prior to attempting the firmware update.
I began the firmware update. What happened surprised me. My home network slowed down to a crawl. Otherwise operates around 30 mbps - plenty good performance.
I noticed it was taking an awful long time for the firmware update to run. After 30 minutes I had only finished 20% of the firmware update. The Mavic battery began at 100% and had drained to below 30%. I had to terminate the firmware update.
Any recommendations?
I should add DJI recommended I format my SD card. Puzzling - I don't see the connection. I wonder if I try the firmware update with just the RC... then just the Mavic.
