Reasons not to upgrade to firmware .800

[PaoloOne]

What is Litchi?

Litchi is IMHO the best third party app to fly DJI drones, especially for waypoints planned missions

And here their further comment:

This is telling a lot how Dji is caring about their partners so I suggest everyone has not upgraded yet to hold the horses and wait a bit.

Why would DJI care if a third party app works with their firmware? It's not their job to adapt to Litchi or any other app.

Thanx

They are using the DJI SDK, the whole reason for having that SDK is to allow partners to be part of an ecosystem which benefits DJI market leadership, playing by the rules is part of it. Apple has become what is now mostly thanks to iTunes and the app store, they know the value of millions of developers. DJI should do the same if they want to keep dominance.

In regards to the HDMI image being smaller, @fnf has confirmed this issue with their goggles. Apparently it's not as noticeable as I thought. I guess I pick up on these things quickly. S/he had to look for the difference and can see the scaling issue once they realized it was there.

Please see
Not a fan of the .800 FW for the goggles

Is . 400 working with the DJI Goggles?

Yes the goggles worked on stage at the Mavic rollout!

So they work with .200 even

For some reason, certain Goggles don't handle HDMI very well on .800 and decides to scale the HDMI video to 75% of its original size. I'm the only to encounter this so far, but it's clearly software related.

They do that on .700 too. It’s only certain things. #misinformation

I encountered this issue on .700 when I tried to play a game on my MacBook with the goggles.

However when I watch a movie in iTunes it totally fine.

Then you haven't tried FPV Camera then.
It is by far, miles ahead of Litchi and AP and light years ahead of the DJI crap!

As far as the hdmi screen reduction, some say 75%, some say barley noticeable, and some say only on certain things. I've checked mine several times now and still never see any screen reduction. I don't pretend to understand why. But, there is obviously an issue.

Well, it runs only on IOS, so it is like does not exist to me, I have only Android devices.

Yes. When you downgrade from .800 directly to .700 you will also encounter that issue. After downgrading to .600 and back up to .700 did that issue go away. Give it a try.
