New FW
- Thread starter Filmarik
- Start date
Sounds like the right advice. LOL
Anyone wants to contradict??
Typical release note verbiage.
Not enough information for me to stick my neck out.
Should read:
“Fixed some minor bugs”
“May have included a few new ones”

Exactly, that happens in most software updates - and I mean software in general, not only DJI.
The worst example is probably the update Crowdstrike did recently that crashed 8.5 millions PC's. And that was from a computer security company!!
I never update anything (Windows, Android etc.) unless the update is crucial for me.
And if I have to update, I wait a few weeks and check what problems it has caused for others.
I've installed all the firmware and software updates DJI has issued. Never had a problem and I've been pleased with the added features and capabilities. I trust the team that designed and built the systems enough to buy several of them, and when they suggest a revision is needed, I trust them.
I agree that it's very disappointing that DJI doesn't provide more information on what was actually changed in updates.
You have far more trust in DJI than I. They are notorious for including undocumented restrictions inside updates that prevent rollbacks and impose limitations that directly affect your ability to use the drone you own in the manner you could when you bought it. They add a new announced features to lure you into updating to swallow their undocumented included Trojan Horses.
Voluntary GEO became compulsory GEO. Depending upon the FW version, you now have to log into your account every 30 days, requiring internet access when you may be traveling off the grid. RID was installed on the exempt Mini 3 Pro, regardless of which battery is used. Approved 12 month unlocks now require logging into your online account after every battery change on the Avata 2. They are "very sorry" for not fully disclosing the undocumented changes. Need I go on?
You do not own any DJI drone. You are merely licensing the use of it from DJI, DJI has the ability to control where and when you can fly it, by preventing you from arming the motors. Who knows what additional count down timers are being installed with each new update?
If it ain't broke, don't go fix'n it!
Minor bug fixes and readiness for drone ID, according to DJI. I am yet to test fly.
Not yet, at least not that I am aware of but it is probably only matter of time when it will become mandatory down here. The rule book is definitely getting thicker and thicker and not thinner. That is for sure. For those interested in the process currently underway:
Yeah. It's clearly coming. They've apparently been refining the adoption of it for over a year already. Handwriting is on the wall.
Due to the increasing use of drones in Australia, and around the world, there is a need for effective tools to monitor their activity. Identification technology will help hold drone operators accountable, and support the safe integration of drones in Australian airspace.
"A discussion paper was circulated for public consultation in July 2023. The paper was a first step towards a potential mandate for drones to carry Remote ID, and in which circumstances."
"The consultation process was a starting point for ongoing discussion and collaboration between government, industry, and the broader community to ensure that deployment of Remote ID in Australia is fit-for-purpose and meets our needs."
Gee, what's not to like about RID? LOL!
Just ask all those drone pilots in the U.S. who have abandoned or severely curtailed their drone flying since it took effect! Nothing like putting a target on your back for anyone to find you with just a smartphone app every time you fly.
To me the process itself is mind-boggling. Call me cynical but to me the consultation is merely a delay mechanism for the inevitable outcome and a bit of a make feel good tactics too. The RID will come no matter what. It is only matter of time...
