New firmware: V01.03.0600

[CashCache]

Have the startup gimbalance tilt gone away?

Yes, now that I am on .0550 it is back to normal. No issues.

 

[ryo]

For those who find .0600 without issues, try fixedwing mode and report please.

Had the MP since late January, flown it many times without issue. Top notch performance. Kept up with all firmware updates. Today, I flew three flights with .600 firmware. I don't like it.

Biggest issue is as others have stated, and this first issue is anecdotal, is a shorter range before experiencing communication issues. In fact, today was first time my MP lost comms, and initiated RTH to resolve, which it did.

Problem is that on manual RTH and auto-RTH due to comms failure, MP failed to land in same exact spot as take off. It was plus or minus a few meters, but not spot on like it has been heretofore. I did recalibrate compass, did ensure homepoint set, and did enable precision landing - oh and 12+ sats.

Dissappointed in the new .600 firmware. I am an Engineer by training and work, so I'm particular in my expectations on performance. So not a huge complaint here, but I am in the process of rolling back to 0.400.

We'll see how that goes. YMMV.

Curious...what does .500 and .550 fix in .400? Wondering if I should go to .400 instead of .550 or .500.

After googling a few threads here on MPilots, it just seems as though folks had the fewest issues with 0.400. So an unofficial, unscientific, quick look poll on my part led me to be conservative and roll back to 0.400. Can't really give you all the specifics off the top of my head.

The other firmwares seemed OK to me too, YMMV.

With every update there is the usual it don't do this or it's now doing that.

Reality is it takes months to know what fw is the most stable.

What I would always advise is people updated fully check every setting and reset camera settings then fly it 10 times minimum, you can not really budge issues from one flight, people will always say I have less range or it does not fly the same but after a few days these things usually fall away.

I have flown this fw a lot and I have not found an issue with it.

finally got some time to test out .600 and everything worked fine. I didn't get to check everything as i only had about 10 minutes to go film up and down the road with all of the trees in bloom. I did notice that while doing a RTH the top bar shows distance to home point in real time....thought that was a nice addition (or at least I never noticed it before). Otherwise, works as advertised...

 

[Mavicjon999]

Downloaded .600 today.Test flight tomorrow but after all the bad reviews on here kinda nervous...flew on .550 perfectly.

 

[Red_Raven]

This is just as expected, a complete ***********. I'm already back to.400 after alleged suicide attempt made by my mavic this morning. Everything was fine in at least 2 hours of flight the last few days... And then this morning.... Drifted almost into the eternity.

Being a dji customer is like having a alcoholic father. One who doesn't even recognize he has a problem... One who doesn't knock, but breaks down the door when coming in. And leaves us in emotional mess, but from time to time gives us hope by showing his best, just to fail us again and leave even deeper scars than before.

Dang....what an analogy....think I'll go have a bourbon.

 

[DJFski]

Hopefully I don't jinx myself but after four batteries flown no issues. I plan on doing several more flights this week I will report the good or the bad later in the week.

 

[regdawg]

before I decide to downgrade I'll try and get a few flights in this week to see if the gimbal issue is still there.

I updated to version 600 last Wednesday, and it did not take off because it in NFZ , I am more than 20 miles away from near airport, I return to version 400 and I can fly. I think this version has a big bug

Mad, no doubt what you say is true. I was heading over to an Easter Egg Hunt and I wanted to put the MP up high and from the side over private family property, and film the whole hunt from above. Which I did do successfully. Because the 0.600 firmware on my MP at the time was not giving me the confidence I wanted and needed, I rolled it back.

I'm sure in the end, all will prove to be OK with the 0.600 firmware, and it seems like your results MadAngler are consistent with all being OK. I did only fly it three full flights this morning before rolling back, not the 10 times you suggest, checking all the settings, I simply didn't have time with the Holiday and such.

So no real "judgement" from me on 0.600 yet, I just needed to roll back to something I knew worked well for sure, and so I did. Again, everyone's circumstances are different, and I don't know much about this technology, so I'm no expert for sure. I will say though that Your Mileage May Vary YMMV.

Happy Easter Everybody,

I tell you, I'm at the beach for a few weeks with the Mavic Pro for the first time, and after reading the first 10 pages here before going, there is no way I'm upgrading the firmware. I'm on the previous version with no issues. Gonna keep it that way for April at least....if not through May.....

What was your tilt balance issue? Just curious.... I never noticed my camera not being leveled until I went to 0600. I did hours of flying on prior firmware and never noticed any issue. After I upgraded to 0600 I noticed my camera level was off. Checking Gimball Roll Settings and it showed -0.1 which I assume was factory setting because I never touched this since I've owned it.

I then downgraded back to 0400. I did a IMU and Compass calibration along with a gimball calibration because I noticed the camera still not level properly.
So I still have this issue. I made adjustment on a leveled floor and noticed I had to set the settings at -0.4 to have it leveled perfectly. I have not tried going back to 0500 or 0550 since there were issues mentioned. So curious.... is this normal to have to adjust the gimbal roll ? Never had to do this before. My Mavic has never been crashed nor have I done anything to it to cause it to be out of line.

Thanks,
Mike

I played with it today. If you go into sport mode first then hit top speed before hitting c1 it will hold at about 40mph!! Its kinda fun!!!

 

[TerryJ]

I guess this Fixed Wing mode - if truly released - is the Easter present from DJI Looking forward to more cinematic moves! Should help us focusing on smooth gimbal movements while automatically forward flying.

No gimbal function in this mode!!

UPDATE.....

OK this is extremely odd and I can't figure out. Since I posted this comment earlier I took snap shot with gimball setting when I went back to 0400 firmware.

Sooo.... I decided to go back to 0600 firmware again. Keep in mind 0600 firmware had this exact problem which I though originated from it. Well I re-calibrated IMU, Compass and Gimbal. I also set gimbal to 0.0 before going back to 0600.

Now I have on 0600 the gimbal at 0.0 and it's level.

One thing I do notice that I had when upgrading first time to 0600 and when I went back to 0400 was that my firmware was hanging sometimes during upgrade/downgrade and I had to shut down DJI Assistant 2.0 and Mavic. I then realized there is an update to Assistant 2.0 that u was not aware of. I updated assistant to the latest version... 1.1.0-2.

When I updated back to 0600 this last time my firmware installed 0600 perfectly on Mavic and RC with no hang ups and my gimbal was perfectly level.

Just wanted to share hoping it well help others. My issue is resolved for now.... I'm wondering if those experiencing issues had hang ups with firmware updates which may have caused this... I don't know... but that is the only thing I can figure out.

I did the same exact steps including IMU, COMPASS and GIMBAL Calibrations when I upgraded to 0600 the first time then back down to 0400 and then before going back to 0600 uninstalled old DJI Assistant 2.0 and then installed new version and then proceeded to upgrade firmware to 0600. Not sure if this has anything to do with it by not having those hangups but it fixed it.

I wonder what the posts will be like when the music stops and chair number 4 is gone!
