Hi Guys:
-
Looks like I have joined the club ...
-
Here’s the scoop …
-
1.) Brand new, NEVER flown, new Phantom 3 Pro purchased from authorized dealer B&H in New York.
2.) Set everything up and got a “firmware update required”.
3.) I really hesitated to do that because everything up to that point was 4x4.
4.) Pulled the micro SD card and went to DJI site for the new update.
5.) Followed the on-line video instructions to the letter.
6.) Downloaded the bin file. Put it on the card. Put card back into the aircraft.
7.) Load went fine. All the proper beep-beep sounds. Process ended correctly.
8.) Put the card back into the computer.
9.) Got the success message. Cool. I was very pleased!

Now the FUBAR begins…
10.) Took the card out. Put card into USB / SD adapter and put into the RC control as instructed.
11.) RC load did not go as it should have. Wrong color LED. Wrong beeps. Does not load as shown on the video instructions!
****! Screen says, “Firmware update required” but then says “Safe to Fly” !!! ??? I now have a $1300.00 paper weight.
12.) FYI: I have the "new" GL300B transmitter. Emailed DJI in CA.
Waiting for their reply.
