Greetings all - I could use your verification and advice.
I’ve searched the forums here for pros/cons of updating my firmware, the DJI Go 4 app, etc. Based on what I've found, I've compiled a list of features that I'd gain by biting the bullet and updating everything. I haven’t updated the app, aircraft, or controller since summer of last year, primarily because of the forced No Fly Zone issues many have posted about.
Here’s my current setup:
— Phantom 4 Pro
— iPad Pro: 11.2.2 (would like to go to 11.2.5)
— DJI Go 4 app: 4.05
— Aircraft: 01.03.0509
— Controller: 01.04.00.00
— Flight Database: 00.00.01.04
— App Database: 00.00.01.04
— Batteries: unknown, but I assume I’ll have to update these too
From what I can tell via this forum and DJI’s website, here is what would change from what I have now (for better or worse). Ones that are most important to me are in bold:
A. No Fly Zones required (can’t disable; must unlock in controlled airspace)
B. Gimbal roll fixed (tilted horizon); should not have to adjust gimbal every few flights
C. Camera: Pano camera mode added
D. Camera: Shallow Focus mode added (?)
E. Camera: Auto Sync HD Photos added
F. Camera: Long Exposure Preview added
G. Intelligent Flights: Cinematic Mode added
H. Intelligent Flights: QuickShot added
I. Intelligent Flights: Dronie added
J. Intelligent Flights: Helix added
K. Intelligent Flights: Rocket added
L. Intelligent Flights: Spotlight Pro added
M. Intelligent Flights: Composition Mode added
N. More stable flights (?)
O. Ability to disable storing flight data on DJI servers (?)
So, does this list look correct, when comparing what I have now to what I’d get when updating to the current firmware? And … any advice, warnings, about any of these updates?
Thanks … John
