Preparing to sell Mavic 2 Pro: ok to update firmware?

bushmiller · 2025-06-21T21:56:41-0400

I'm planning on selling my M2Pro, and just connected it with DJI Assistant, and I'm on firmware .0790, and I see .0797 is available. I assume it's OK to update?

Just want to be sure that's not going to make it less useful, I'm not up to date on new RID issues, etc.

If you're going to sell it, I wouldn't touch the software update mechanism at this point and maybe let the new buyer decide if they want it or not. there's no benefit to you to perform the update that I am aware of.

Post number two has the answer.

Potential buyers who know their DJI drones will always give first look to those carrying earlier firmware.

earlier firmware.

.790 may not be considered earlier firmware by many potential buyers. The next firmware release(.797)claims to involve the RID debacle. With the age of this product, doubtful DJI will release any additional updates.

If I managed to find a second hand mav.2 on .0670 firmware: I'd snap the sellers hand off. Last fully featured firmware on ARB#1 without all the subsequent "security fixes".
