If you missed it, DJI is doing a broader scale test of the new firmware. The sign up period is now over. The firmware should be out sometime between the middle to end of the month.
And the main thing is to at least try. It's not because there are issue reports on forums that they affect everybody. Most people like myself have no issues.
What's important is to educate yourself about what some people have experienced so you can know in advance what could happen so you can work around the situation.
There will always be issues of one kind or another, so if you don't want to fly... you'll never fly.
Cheers mate!If you missed it, DJI is doing a broader scale test of the new firmware. The sign up period is now over. The firmware should be out sometime between the middle to end of the month.
I wanted to believe I'd be one of the people with no problems; after all I had around 200 flights on my Phantom 2 and had zero issues with it when I bought the Inspire 1. However on the 5th day of ownership of the I1, it flew by itself at full speed into cliffs 100' below my takeoff point, destroying the aircraft, gimbal, etc. Supposedly the firmware logic that caused this was intentionally introduced in firmware v16, and will be reverted in v18.
I was able to pick up the pieces and send them to DJI, and they are telling me 6 weeks for repair. I'm glad to hear v18 of the firmware will be released about the same time I (hopefully) get my aircraft back.
I continue to fly my Phantom 2 in the interim, and am quite happy with the confidence I have in that aircraft. In fact if it just had a rectilinear lens, I'd be nearly completely satisfied with it (I know I can change the lens on the GoPro for $150 -- I just haven't done so yet).
I would see if you can get more info from them. I think we would all like to know what time we can expect the firmware release.
I have the latest public release yes..... V.17
And so should you since .16 has an IMU bug in it!
.17 is very stable,it has given me zero problems.
Go fly, you will have a grin on your face like the very first day you flew your first Phantom!
Hopefully just a few sleeps away.I would see if you can get more info from them. I think we would all like to know what time we can expect the firmware release.
Did not see it. They must have pulled it alreadyA guy on the Facebook group just posted the release notes, fyi. Obviously in violation of his NDA.
