Latest Go4 version compatible with 0.400 FW?

treytexag · Dec 22, 2017

I see this topic is out there, but I can't seem to find a straight-up answer. My MP is on 0.400 and want to leave it there for obvious reasons. I'm running Go4 version 4.0.8, but would certainly like to update it to something more current, if possible.

Without putzing with the Go4 software, anybody know what the latest (most recently issued) version of the iOS Go4 app is compatible with the 0.400 FW?

I hate to "mess things up" by updating my iOS Go4 version to something that doesn't work (or play nice) with my 0.400 FW on the MP.

Please help me out if you know. Or point me to the right thread . . . . I've dug around searching for about an hour or so, no luck.

Thanks folks, and Happy Holidays.

Avoid 4.1.18. It has messed many things up. It works on iOS if you have the right iOS version. I am not an iPerson so do not have the specifics but that has been discussed in this forum. 4.1.15 has been stable for both iOS and Android.

I'm using 4.1.3 with .900 fw and they work fine. I can't see there being a problem for you basically doing the same.

Mossiback and Mavic6611 - thank you so much for responding!

If I load up 4.1.3 on my Ipad and give it a go, what's the worse that could happen? Is it simply a matter of it won't work and my MP won't fly, or is it more along the lines of I could be up in the air with some kind of "catastrophic" failure due to MP / RC firmware incompatibilities?

I'd love to get to 4.1.3. From DJI:

Capture the world from above. DJI GO 4.0 has been optimized for all of DJI's latest products. These include the Phantom 4,Mavic Pro, Phantom 4 Pro, and Inspire 2. It provides near real-time image transmission and camera settings adjustment, as well as editing and sharing of aerial imagery.

Features:

All-new Homepage and UI
Near Real-time HD Image Transmission
Camera Settings Adjustment
Updated playback interface
Updated Editor with improved UI
More templates and music tracks in Editor
Convenient video downloading, editing and sharing
Integrated live streaming
Near real-time flight data recording

Really like to try the live streaming, and knew I don't have that functionality now.

The worse that could happen? That opens up a world of possibilities but to keep it real, Go 4 will most likely lock up, give crappy video, or just stop working while flying. You should still have control and if you think Go 4 is making something weird happen you can simply unplug it from the RC and fly without it. Hopefully you are flying within VLOS and will be able to bring it back without problems.

Yepper Mossiback, you're right. I can unplug and fly by LOS - good point. Noob question on my part.

Appreciate the assist . . . . . .

You can't update an ios app to a specific version, only to the latest version. (at least, no easy way; you'll need some ninja skills)
