For slow-mo enthusiasts, the new DJI Avata 2 firmware update brings the ability to record videos in stunning 4K resolution at 100 frames per second when used with Goggles 3.

The enhanced video capability is a significant upgrade, providing users with more creative options and higher-quality recordings.

The update also includes support for Remote ID in some regions. This feature ensures that the Avata 2 complies with emerging regulatory requirements, which mandate that drones broadcast identification and location information during flight. This addition is crucial for pilots who need to operate within the bounds of new drone regulations, particularly in the United States and Europe.

Furthermore, DJI has addressed several known issues in this firmware update. While the specific issues fixed were not detailed, these improvements are expected to enhance the overall stability and reliability of the Avata 2, ensuring a smoother and more dependable flight experience.

Alongside the firmware updates for the drone and its accessories, DJI has also released version 1.13.4 of the DJI Fly App for both iOS and Android platforms. The updated app is essential for accessing the new features and ensuring compatibility with the latest firmware versions. Moreover, DJI has added several new AI-powered editing features to the Fly app, and you can read all about it here.
