DJI Mini3 - Which min version for Firmware and DJI Fly app

[laurent45]

HI All
I just received my DJI Mini 3 and also the 2y DJI Care Refresh (thanks to answers on my last post).
BTW Is the DJI CAre refresh ivoid if you do not have the latest version of firmware and Fly app ?

First let me explain the context of my questions.
I have still a Mini2, flying it with Android smartphone Redmi Note 9S (with Android 11) and DJI Fly v1.8.0 (firmware on the mini2 is not the latest version too).... and had no issue so far... even if my SW configuration is old.

Now the Mini3 is coming in my drone family.
I guess I will be asked to update the RC firmware, the Mini3 firmware and the Fly app.
My worry is that maybe my smartphone might not keep up with the DJI fly app... as I guess the app got more and more complex (and maybe heavy to run).

So my question to Mini3 owners, do you have all the very latest version of firmware and fly app, and if not to what version did you stop ? Because I guess that most of the latest version of the DJI Fly app are for the latest drones and bring no added value to Mini 3 owners.

Thanks in advance. I will wait for your answers before doing any updates.

Prudent practice would be to sandbox your Mini 2 which works with your current configuration, and buy another device for your new Mini 3. That way, nothing you do for the Mini 3 will ever affect the Mini 2 setup. Mini 3 did not ship at release with RID and should not require it. Updates may change that.
