Anyone know how to downgrade? It seems DJI pumped out this update just as a way of doing planned obsolescence. I want to downgrade so I can mod my drone to get more tilt so it can handle wind more.
Where are you getting those thrust figures from? And is the Mini SE also 525g of thrust?If you have fw 0600 it's stuck at that as it blocks downgrading. The last fw that allows more than stock tilt is 0400. I'm using fw 0400 and have max tilt set to 35 for S mode and 25 for P and C modes. This might make a slight improvement to its wind handling capability, but not much. Yesterday I flew in winds of about 25mph (11-12m/s) but it was clear that this was about the upper limit for reliable flight. During gusts it would barely make headway into the wind, but on no occasion did I see it fail to hold location.
The mini1 can cope with 40deg tilt, but even with hard flying in S mode it rarely uses the full 40deg. It has limited amounts of thrust (approx 430g total) compared to the mini 2 (approx 525g total) and mini 3 pro (approx 670g total). Much of the thrust is dedicated to keeping the drone airborne so there is only limited reserve to push it forward into the wind. That, coupled with the extra apparent weight due to downforce from the wind blowing over the forward sloping body surface means the mini 1 can only put up with so much wind.
Personally I've always been quite impressed with what wind the mini1 can cope with, but I recognise that newer drones can do even better.
These have been picked from various YouTube videos of people seeing how much weight drones can lift. The weight that the drone can only just lift is roughly equal to the max surplus thrust. Add to this the weight of the drone itself and you get the total thrust. E.g. Mini1 can lift about 180g. It weighs 250g, so has around 430g total thrust. (OK 429g for the pedants)Where are you getting those thrust figures from? And is the Mini SE also 525g of thrust?
What is the verdict? Not to change the parameters? I already changed mine to 45 on sport and 30 on normal. I haven't flown much with it like that but it feels snappy. Oh I was able to to downgrade from .0600 to .0400. I used DJI Assistant 2 for consumer drones.
Please guide me, I can't see 0400 on the firmware list
Please guide. How did you downgrade? I cannot see any firmware other than .0600What is the verdict? Not to change the parameters? I already changed mine to 45 on sport and 30 on normal.

@swaran.fca This is a typo right? If i see it correctly our problem is that we only see the 0600 FW in DJI Assistant as DJI prohibits a downgrade from tjis point. So i doubt that @Dredan72 used a Mini 1 OR there is something we are missing...Please guide, how did you do it? I cannot find any firmware other than .0400 in the DJI Assistant 2 for consumer drones app... Appreciate your reply please.
Mavic mini downgrade.Please guide me, I can't see 0400 on the firmware list
Sorry to have taken long to reply. I used mavic mini and here is how I did it.@swaran.fca This is a typo right? If i see it correctly our problem is that we only see the 0600 FW in DJI Assistant as DJI prohibits a downgrade from tjis point. So i doubt that @Dredan72 used a Mini 1 OR there is something we are missing...

I started with 0600. It took a while until I figured out how to get it to 0400. My computer is on windows 10@Dredan72
Thank you for the screenshots!
And you started out with 0600?
Amazing, i cannot get the security settings to look as it does for you, maybe that is because of Win11, i have to check.
I will report here.

I think i wasn't clear somewhere. My mistake. Right click on default settings. ini. Go to security and edit for everyone. Hope this time it works. My assistant is V2.1.9.8@Dredan72
Hmm, my .ini contains much more (drones).
Can you tell me which version of Assistant2 do you use?
i dloaded 2.1.15
I am very sorry it didn't work out for you. I really hoped that you would succeed. I will keep on trying to find what I did differently. One last thing. I am not logged into assistant and data authorization is off.To all of you:
I was in chat contact with @Dredan72 to know all maybe missing details and we even syncronized the exact same DJI Assistant version but it will not work for me.
So to us it is a miracle why it worked for him and not for me.
I guess i am giving up for now.
Very very much kudos to Dredan72 for relentlessly trying to help me!!!
