Purchasing a new Mavic 2 Pro very soon. What firmware will the Mavic 2 Pro come with when I get it? Will I be directed to the latest firmware when I update for the fist time or can I go to an earlier version? Thanks for any and all help!
Probably but that does not mean that you have to install it.Will I be directed to the latest firmware when I update for the fist time or can I go to an earlier version?
Good advise for sure. What are the downgrades used for?Do yourself a favor: when you read a post that seems to have a negative outcome from a firmware upgrade, be sure that the reporting user has verified for sure that it was the firmware upgrade that caused their issue (not just a hunch they had that went unconfirmed). Also note how many such reports are verified by other users (repeated reports of the same issue caused by the same firmware).
You might find that most, nearly all of said reports end up being unverified.
As for: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" -- you will only discover that you have suffered a major failure when your aircraft falls out of the sky. Then it is broke and you cannot fix it.
Firmware upgrades are the smart thing to do.

Am I reading this correctly? Because someone didn’t do someyou will only discover that you have suffered a major failure when your aircraft falls out of the sky.
That would depend on what the firmware package includes, would it not?Firmware upgrades are the smart thing to do.
Correct.When was the latest firmware released?
A quick search shows April 2021.
Anything later?
I see later updates for DJI Go 4 app for iOS but they don’t always update the app for new firmware.

firmware update(from whichever one it was on)will cause an aircraft to fall out of the sky?
And thank you for the clarification. My mistake.No, you are not reading it correctly.
Not having your aircraft fail does not mean that you are not flying with bugs. Flying with those bugs do not guarantee a crash. You may need the bug to exist and have the incident conditions occurring at the same time for you to experience issues.
If you ignore firmware updates because you aren't experiencing problems, and then subsequently experience a crash that was caused by as known issue, then you will have discovered that you have suffered that major failure that you could have avoided by updating firmware and receiving the bug fix.
I did not say "not updating firmware will cause an aircraft to fall out of the sky". Please read my words more carefully.

I have two batteries that will not power on or charge after sitting for around a year and a half or longer. Sometime in the past 1.5 years they showed 2 lights/50%.Correct.

Worth a try. Be careful with updates, they can add bugs that aren’t needed. Release notes are just a guide and may not include all that’s in the package.I have two batteries that will not power on or charge after sitting for around a year and a half or longer.

Any chance this update will allow the batteries to be charged? Not sure how the process would start once the bird and working batteries were updated. Maybe install dead battery in updated drone connected to laptop?
