.700 vs .1000?

mavic6611 · Sep 15, 2017

Pro's and cons of each?

Cut.Aussie · Sep 15, 2017

1000 works fine for me

daveeeee1975 · Sep 15, 2017

1000 is rock solid for me as well, no issues at all

I have flown probably a dozen times on 1000 and haven't had an issue as of yet.

mavic6611 · Sep 15, 2017

I was more wondering what the pros and cons are vs each other? Any experience in using both?

2nckayakers · Sep 15, 2017

I can't say there are any pros or cons as I don't notice any difference. Unless you are trying to hijack all the setting through the back door then I don't know what the advantage would be of not upgrading. Honestly with all the complaints on here you get from other members about one version or another not working or causing problems, I cannot speak to their issues. But as far as myself, I have always upgraded to the latest version when it came available and I have never had any problems.

.700 can give you control of the drone you own. It's very stable for my Mavic.
.1000 (for the time being) cedes control of your drone to the Chinese communist self-appointed Drone Police and adds nothing useful that I've heard of.

Thanks guys, it's helpful to look through the eyes of others with different experiences

That's a great point. That's what sways me over to the .700 fw

i've quit updating after .700. works perfect for me.

Because exposure issue with firmware 1000, I'm thinking to downgrade.
900 or maybe 700
I have goggles too, and I would like to use them, so for me the question is : 700 or 900

LOL, Well put !

I run .700 FW and running DJI GO 4 v4.0.8, I'm a firm believer that we paid for the drone and should be able to do what we want to with it,
common sense is the keyword here, but DJI doesn't think we must have it.

Definitely 700 over 900. I don't think there's any benefits at all to being on 900

What exposure issue?

iPa64 · Sep 18, 2017

There is some change with the color mode "Normal" in firmware .1000 compared to .900
Now result are overexposed to contrasted and less saturated.
Here what I found, I will try this settings soon:

"As far as I've been able to test, d-log or d-cine haven't changed. However when shooting in normal mode, saturation has been decreased and contrast increased. That's why people who normally shoot in normal mode have noticed such change. I don't care too much about this problem as is can be fixed setting camera adjustments to 0,-2,+2 if shooting in normal or trying to record using D-cine which shows up realistic colors."

And where is your PROOF?
Or you just assume or believe what you read or hear!!

I believe by more control, PT_Mavic is referring to the way you can modify the flight parameters of the Mavic using the older firmware, DJI has got wise to that
fact and has removed that ability in the newer firmware releases and the latest DJI Assistant 2 software, so YES, it is true.

I have tweaked several flight parameters of my Mavic that you can't touch normally, that's why I stay as .700 firmware and will run the older DJI Assistant 2 software.

Youtube has great video's on this subject.

JMF, above, has it exactly right. I don't need "proof", unless you count actually using it to set up my Mavic the way I want it to be as "proof".
The changes I've made are of benefit to me and are (currently) not possible with .1000; for instance, my Auto-Takeoff height is now a childproof 7 feet rather than 4 feet.
