New firmware: V01.03.0600

[Peel]

So this was an interesting issue. About halfway into the waypoint flight of a basic rectangle pattern, the gimble looses all control and becomes completely unresponsive.

After flipping up and down several times, I finally get it to respond but it's hypersensitive and I can't even correct it to get a look at the horizon.

At this point I paused the mission and did a manual RTH and as the drone started to gain altitude the gimble went right back to normal.

Try doing a Gimbal Auto Calibration from the GO app (at the bottom of the Gimbal Settings screen)?

You can always go back down if you do not like it.

Not really true. Eventually DJI only allows a downgrade to one version lower. i.e from .600 you will likely be able to go only to .550

You can go back down to . 400.

If you watch the gimbal on v01.03.06 while you do a gimbal cal, there are big changes! You will notice it slowly going through a slow tilt / roll sweep. It never did that on previous revisions... and I've watched it close. Also the calibration takes longer and involves more steps. I'm hoping it will help the tilted horizon issue so many people have complained about including myself. I haven't flown yet but am excited. Has anyone noticed improvement in tilted horizon issues?

Curious to see how the "improvement default colors for DNG files" will work out.

Is using the DJI assistant on your laptop/desktop the recommended method? I hate to leave my bird idle with that MP fan running....Ive resorted to putting it front of a small fan to keep it cool.

I actually calibrated it after upgrading the firmware to .0600, prior to this flight.

Nothing fixes the tilted horizon, it is a physical hardware alignment issue, and only fix it to have it replaced.

This has been with all versions of DJI drones from Phantom 3 upwards. It is mass produced so slight variations exist.

Firmware : v01.03.0600
DJI GO 4 App iOS : v4.0.7
DJI GO 4 App Android : v4.0.6

Has anyone else noticed DJI marked the v1.03.0600 firmware update for the above listed app versions? I also looked at my google playstore account app GO4 and it had todays date as the last time the app was updated. But I have yet to see any of the mentioned app versions pop up anywhere, yet.

You can scan the QR code on dji's website for the latest version of the app (Android.)

I'm guessing you're on an Android? When I scan the QR code with my iPhone, it goes to the same version (4.0.6) that's already on my phone, not the new one (4.0.7)

 

[Bunny Too]

Must be on an Android? When I scan the QR code with my iPhone, it goes to the same version (4.0.6) that's already on my phone, not the new one (4.0.7)

Ah, sorry friend it must be; I edited my post.

DJI GO 4 no new update in android..

I'll wait for the 4.0.6 before I go and do the .600 firmware update

What I find a little frustrating is that in the DJI release notes for the .600 firmware they don't mention, what I would consider, is the most significant feature - the fixing if the API calls for the 3rd party software. (Litchi/Autopilot)

I know they (DJI and others) don't like to admit to any bugs in their software but they could have wrapped it up like "Stability improvements to 3rd party API" They have got bad press here about introducing the bug - so why not shout about the fact they have fixed it?

The other important change in .600 is the re-enabling left-stick-up to abort landing. Not only is this a good, intuitive safty feature, but it also demonstrates that DJI are listening to what users want. A good PR thing to admit to I would have thought? "Back by popular demand!"

A new flight mode as the headline - Yes that makes sense. But removing a battery "beep"? Not exactly something to get excited about compared to the other changes above.

Still, very happy to have Litchi back - (when I'm brave enough to move on from 400)

I don't think it's their job to say so.... The developer of third party app is responsible. As new apps come out... DJI should not make their firmware compatible with all third party apps. That's the app developer that needs to do that and announce that.

No good. My android will not download the QR option.

Huh, I am actually in the far of my ranch, no wifi, got the dji download page by cellular on my phone then scanned it off the screen with my shield. I had to allow installation by unknown sources on the tablet but I am running 4.0.6 now.

Agreed.

Nice RTH Cancel button added on-screen DJI Go-4. Also, after updates, digital zoom no longer works for 4K...

did digital zoom ever work in 4K?

 

[erkme73]

14k ft......are you sure you flew 14k ft?
That's hard to believe.

He didn't say in a straight line

Bingo. About 3000' in several directions. The wind was just strong enough to run the battery down at a rate faster than the estimated remaining time - so I didn't want to press my luck.

 

[regdawg]

I updated through wifi....will test out tommorrow

 

[Medic31525]

Downloaded and installed in about 30 mins. No battery involvement as far as i can tell. Flew most of today. about 30,000 total feet no problems. Flawless on IOS.

Ok, this may be a newb questions. If updating firmware with the DJI Assistant 2 software, do you plug in the RC or the MP into the computer via USB? Thanks for any replies
