Should I update my brand new Mini 3 or not?

[Marco Luz]

So recently I bought a brand new Mini 3 (not Pro), because it was a great deal with a RC command.
Now, my question is: The drone has the following firmware: 01.00.0200, RC: 01.03.0400 and FlySafe Data: 01.00.01.29
I am not a big fan of updates, specially when it is flying great and everything works flawlessly. But because some of you guys are more familiar with latest firmwares than me, please let me know if I should update everything or not.

Thanks in advance!

I have the pro version and bought it with the RC smart controller. Is your controller the one with the display built in?

Yes, it is the RC.

I keep all my drones updated and I've never had a problem. There have been very few situations where updating drone and controller firmware created issues for anyone; there's a lot of rumor and fretting, though.

Consider what happens if you have a serious accident or get caught for a serious rule violation. You're not going to look good if you've deliberately not kept your software up to date, especially the FlySafe database.

New firmware inherently introduces new issues. Unless your current update lacks Remote ID, i would leave it if it works without issue. Updates aren't mandatory. If taking every update as it's available makes you feel better, go for it, I'd at least give it some time in the field with others beforehand. You do you!

Thanks for your reply. It is working great, so I will not update for now. I´ve been kind of following this rule in my life that less updates, the better. And so far so good among all my devices. When I find one that works great, I wont touch it until it stops working
Unfortunately not many people has the Mini 3 non pro version regards feedback... so we´ll see how it goes
