I bought my AIR a while back and was immediately spooked by the comments that seemed to suggest the firmware was flakey. I did the dilligent thing and watched lots of videos on how not to lose the drone. I've had the drone out just 3 times and flown for all of 20 mins. During this time I've been prompted to re-calibrate the compass twice and the IMU once. Yesterday before this 3rd flight ever I upgraded the firmware and re-watched the videos. I was sensibly reminded that the firmware can blow away all kinds of settings. This in itself sounds iffy.
What shocked me was the descriptions of the last firmware:
Questions and observations.
1) What does data safety mean? GDPR? Firmware being corrupted or what?
2) How can (DJI) claim to fix something you find inexplicable?
3) Is the compass interference real or imagined sometimes by your firmware?
4) Any thoughts/suggestions on my compass problems
I do wonder if my prompts to have my compass re-calibrated twice from 3 flights and the stories of fly aways can sometimes be duff firmware and with release comments like this, I'd not be surprised.
On the plus side, I still have my drone and on the minus side, I got a great picture of my 'egg in the nest'

What shocked me was the descriptions of the last firmware:
- Improved firmware data safety.
- Fixed an issue where GPS location changes inexplicably, and when RTH is abnormal due to compass interference.
- Optimized vision arithmetic to improve flight performance at both high altitudes or over unclear ground patterns.
- Improved camera stability.
- Improved safety for ActiveTrack and SmartCapture.
