DJI fly v.1.9.4 ok to install ?

jmc667 · Mar 1, 2023

Good morning all. I have the air2s & DJI-RC controller. I see we have an update. Is it safe to install here in the USA? I see a lot of videos from a couple of weeks ago of people testing v.1.9.4, but it looks like it's out of the country. I can't find any current info. Let me know what you guys think. I looked around here on this forum, but couldn't find anything.

Thanks

What firmware are you currently on? 1.9.4 adds support for the Mini 2 SE from what I can see.

No problems for me in my part of the world.

None for me either. Flying an MA2.

scott135 · Mar 2, 2023

No problems for me. I have flown (Mini 2) several times since the update.

Thanks guys, I'm on V.1.9.1. and thanks for recent replies.

I update when ever I see an update offered and only once since Nov 2020 have I had an issue where I had to go to DJI to get a new DL...
We'd all like it to be perfect but all these folks who swear they never install updates drive me nuts.
My mini 2 flies perfectly and while you could wait a week if you are worried. But after that it should be good...
I'm hoping for an update to give my mini2 RID.. that would be nice

Should be no problem with updates currently. Watch out when a definite crisis occurs with China's support of Russia. The Chinese government can require nefarious updates to make DJI and other Chinese drones decapitate ours/NATOS drones overnight. Just sayin.....yes, this post most likely will be deleted by the DJI forum drone master.

The forum/s here have no affiliation with DJI.

I know, DJI has been pretty good about updates. This is my 3rd. DJI drone. And I'm all about updates, just not on release day. Do you have the DJI-RC controller?

And that’s the nice part about the world. If we were all the same, think how boring that would be.
All that I fly do fine without all the updates that I’ve not done.
Fly safe and have fun!

How do you connect your mini 2? It doesn't appear in the connection guide

DJI have advised me that 1.9.4 fw does NOT add support for Mini SE

Doesn’t surprise me. What I referenced came directly off their info page in the downloads section.

As usual, DJI is cryptic with its updates

All they say is that it fixes certain issues and optimizes certain app qualities.

But what these are, your guess is as good as mine ...

The upgrade was for the new Mini 2 SE.

Yeh, my mistake ... I didn't even know there was a Mini 2 SE ... confusing it with the Mini SE ...

Suzygs1000, I have not had any issues connecting at start-up. On occasion, the Mini 2 will not automatically connect, but it appears in the connection guide for me to select.

If you are not already, try turning on the drone first. This makes a big difference with my SC when switching drones.

Generally speaking, DJI updates are pretty solid and recommend by forum members here to update ASAP. I understand that just about any other electronic device is questionable to update immediately but that just doesn't seem to be the case with DJI updates.
There have been hiccups in the past but I would hold a great confidence in updating all your drone firmware and software as soon as available.
