Is this safe to fly

[ryanmanchester]

I've not flew my inspire for 12 months. Is the firmware safe to fly with. Ss attached. Would you update or should I stay put, I don't want all the drama of updates unless the features are worth it.

Happy new year all.

You're only 1 level back. Current I believe is 1.11. A lot of guys don't upgrade firmware and are on way older firmware than that. I'm not recommending flying on old firmware, just stating that guys do it successfully because they don't want to introduce new bugs (which has been known to happen, I guess).

The only issue might be if you're still under warranty (I'm guessing you're not) or have insurance, it may not be covered if not on latest firmware. Maybe 1 level back would be, but older than that, probably not.

If it flies fine leave well enough alone.

I personally would not I personally would not update the firmware. Don't give your device access to the internet while it's connected to the bird.

As Steve@AerialImage alluded to, some guys fly legacy firmware, and I'm one of those guys. The version you're using, v1.10, throttled back video reception. v1.09 expanded NFZ's. So the "sweet spot" is v1.08. Between me and my business partner we have 3 Inspire 1's. All three run FW v1.08. Literally hundreds of flights and dozens of hours with 100% rock solid reliability. NO tests. NO logging into DJI required.

I made a couple videos on the subject. Here's 1.
