Firmware Differences? 400/550/600/700?

[smithlaw]

Hey everyone. I just received my Mavic back from DJI after they finally repaired it from the lost connection/crash it took on April 17th. I know many of you swear by version .400. I believe I was running the upgraded .600 when it crashed. Now I see there is a .700 out. Can someone explain to me the differences in the different versions? I see .550 is still available through the DJI Assistant. But, would it be better to use the link another member posted for the .400? Do we lose any features when going back to older versions?

Thanks!

Here is a link to the release notes for all versions back to October 2016.

My experience (not scientific )

.400 cool no major issues
.500 not so cool not so bad (NFZ enforcement I think)
.550 issues here and there with focus (NFZ enforcement)
.600 connection issues, more sensitive transmissions setting more prone to interference
.700 Nazi changes

Thanks guys. They shipped it back with .500 loaded on it. I am guessing that is what they tested it with. I find it strange they didn't upgrade to the latest/greatest .700. However, I don't know how to make the .400 load using my Mac computer. I am wondering if the .500 will be fine and not cause me the problems we see with .600/.700. Anyone with issues they remember from the .500?

Not had any issues with any version of firmware, all worked fine.

I've ran 600 and 700. Both have been without issue.

Forgive my ignorance, but where do I find my firmware I'm running?

If it's not prompting you to update, you're running 700.

A few have had problems with .500, .550 and .600. But personally, I've had none. Still up in the air if .400 would work with the new goggles. Also nice to have additional flying modes with .700.

Scroll all the way down to the bottom of "General Settings" - Tap "About".
