Yes, I followed the simple upgrade instructions exactly. As I said, BOTH upgrades (1.1.6 and 1.1.8) worked and the text files showed "success" (both aircraft and RC). If I follow the start up instruction sequence in the DJI manual, I get the error message saying "firmware upgrade is required"...

Hey, that worked! But, it goes against the start up order on page 46 of the manual. Regardless, I'll start the RC last from now on.

iOS and yes, I upgrade both the aircraft and controller. The upgrade is simple and worked fine with 1.1.6. The 1.1.8 firmware is the version that says I need to upgrade. I'm glad the aircraft still flies and doesn't seem to affect anything but the message doesn't instill confidence. I sent a...

Mine looks like that as well before flying. After I've flown I get the message to upgrade my firmware. I will pay more attention to just when this message shows up.

I updated my P3A firmware to 1.1.6 when it came out and then to 1.1.8 when it was released and I now get messages in the Pilot app saying "Firmware upgrade is required". I started getting this message right after updating to 1.1.8. Although the text file said "success" after the updates, I did...

Thanks. It's the P3 Advanced

I got this error a couple of times and I was 50'-100' in the air above grass. I was using the original firmware and an Android device at the time. I've flown a dozen times since with the updated firmware (both 1.6 and 1.8) and iOS and haven't seen the error since.

Christoph is technically correct. However, he misses the major point that this was shot with a P3A in mid air, not with a Canon 5D Mark III w/ 16-35L from a balloon. I would have paid $1,000 for this quad without a camera. The fact that it has a camera and can take shots like this is remarkable...

Shot this early in the morning before anybody was outside. I'm amazed how easy the P3 is to fly. Very happy so far.

Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it.

I crashed today from two or three feet altitude (long, sad story). I stopped the motors as fast as I could but it took 4-5 seconds. Three of the props had pieces broken off them. Since most, if not all, of the props were stuck against the ground or in branches and not spinning, can this damage...

That worked. I was looking at a different screen where it shows your videos and photos but doesn't allow you to transfer photos. Anyway, thanks again for your help!

I've experienced the same error with my P3A on two occasions but neither led to a crash. I'm updating the firmware right now and hope that corrects the problem. I was using an Android phone at the time but now that the iOS software is available I'll be switching to my iPad Mini.

Thanks tcope! I'll check this out when I get back home this weekend.
