DJI releases new firmware update for Mavic Air – V01.00.0300

DJI just released a new firmware update for the Mavic Air – V01.00.0300. It is strongly recommended by the Chinese drone manufacturer and just by the looks of it, it seems to address a large number of bugs. It does not, however, bring back the waypoints we all have asked for. We are still waiting for an answer from DJI on that one.

Overview

  • Date: 2018.03.21
  • Aircraft Firmware: v01.00.0300
  • Remote Controller Firmware: v01.00.0100
  • DJI GO 4 App iOS: v4.2.8
  • DJI GO 4 App Android: v4.2.8

What’s New?

  • Increased the descent speed to 3 m/s when flying forward.
  • Added support for operating at 5.8 GHz in Thailand.
  • Fixed an issue where the gimbal would drift when the aircraft’s heading changes.
  • Fixed an issue where the aircraft would shake when using ActiveTrack.
  • Added message if failure to take panoramas or an Asteroid QuickShot occurs (requires DJI GO 4 v4.2.8 and higher).
  • Fixed an issue where the remote controller was unable to link with the aircraft when operating in some regions.
  • Fixed an issue where the aircraft would fail to take a panorama in Sport mode or when APAS is enabled.
  • Fixed an issue where Intelligent Flight Battery firmware would not be updated when functioning abnormally.
  • Fixed an issue of video lag when the aircraft’s heading changes.
  • Fixed an issue of ghosting in photos.
  • Fixed an issue where the aircraft would fail to decelerate automatically when landing.

Notes:

  • Restart the aircraft and remote controller after the upgrade is complete.
  • Please note that the firmware update may reset various Main Controller Settings, such as the RTH Altitude and Maximum Flight
  • Distance, to factory defaults. Before the update, take note of your preferred DJI GO 4 settings, and readjust them after the update to suit your preference.
  • This firmware update resets the camera settings.
  • If the firmware upgrade fails, restart aircraft, remote controller and DJI GO 4 or DJI Assistant 2, and retry.
