    Gimbal issue

    Yes, the mounts on all 3 gimbals and both aircraft look good.

    Gimbal issue

    I just updated 2 Inspire1 Pro aircraft to 1.09.01.30. Now with 3 of my X5 Gimbals and both Inspire1 aircraft and 2 separate RC's, I have no horizontal gimbal control. Vertical is fine and I can get horizontal movement with my finger tracking on the tablet screen, but the Gimbal Mode toggle...

    slave issue

    Connect your phone/tablet to the RC and with WIFI connected, log onto the DJI website and update the firmware for the RC. That should fix it.

    slave issue

    The RC should be updateable independent of whether it is a slave or master...How have you tried to update its software?

    Stuck in travel mode :: Firmware issue

    I just had this issue. Sent my craft in for repair and it was returned in travel mode with a different OS version than my controller. The AC won't update the OS in the travel mode. After 2 hours on the phone with DJI trying all the options, I was given an RMA to send the AC and RC to DJI to...

    Upgrade Firmware or leave well enough alone?

    I believe editor has told me IMU can be done indoors, as it does not rely on GPS. I always check for magnetic interference before calibrating IMU and compass. Compass does need to be done outdoors to ensure best GPS signal And for what is worth, I flew about 20 flights last week with the new...

    Updating IMU after firmware update

    Yes, but they could easily prevent flight until the IMU was updated ( just like these new pop ups that you have to agree to before proceeding for flight that warn you about restricted airspace.)

    slave issue

    Apologies for delay in updating, I have been in the field with no cell or internet access, but here is the final analysis of the pairing problem with the Galaxy S7. The S7 simply would not accept the info typed from the keyboard into the text boxes for device name and password. Nothing would...

    slave issue

    I am in the field and having trouble pairing a slave to the master. I have the latest firmware update. When I'm on the slave, it won't accept input word ask for the Masters number. And when I try to input the password, I just get for zeros instead of one two three four. Any ideas? Using Android...

    Updating IMU after firmware update

    Thanks for your advice, and will continue to do that as a best practice. Flew my Inspire1 Pro with the latest firmware (xxx.30) without any issues today, for what it is worth. As someone who writes software, I wonder why DJI doesn't have code that requires IMU, compass and stick calibration...

    Updating IMU after firmware update

    After updating firmware, is it always best to update the IMU? What is the purpose of the IMU check, if it says the IMU is good, yet one still needs to update the IMU? And thank goodness for this forum. Updated 10 days ago and flew a little to test, then just caught wind last night of the...

    Firmware update question

    Yes, I did try that, but on an RC linked to another AC. I didn't try to update the rogue RC b/c of the concern to update the AC first. DJI wanted it back with the AC as is. The other RC wouldn't update from the USB directly or when I put the bin file in the gimbal and corded the RC to the...

    Firmware update question

    Okay, short answer, after conferring with DJI, AC and RC being returned for further repair (or "re-pair", pun intended!) Since I have a second, identical craft, I was able to confirm a couple of things: First, I did successfully upgrade my second craft using the same BIN and gimbal as I was...

    Firmware update question

    Well, I am more concerned about updating the AC first, per the instructions. I am pretty sure I can update the RC when the time comes. I think my next step is to contact DJI and see what version of the firmware my AC shipped with, and then match my RC to that.
