DJI’s multiple firmware upgrades bring gear up to speed with its new Mavic 3 Classic

In the wake of today’s launch of the new, more affordable Mavic 3 Classic compact version of its top-of-the-line camera drone, DJI has issued firmware upgrades for a few products to bring them up to speed with the new craft and its features – including the original Mavic 3.

DJI released a quartet of firmware upgrades amid the excitement surrounding the Mavic Classic 3 rollout, which makes most of the peerless photographic and video capabilities of the $2,049 Mavic 3 drone available for a more affordable $1,469. As formerly price-deterred consumers moved to order the comparatively budget-friendly iteration of the craft, DJI went to work cleaning house with upgrades of firmware for related products, either making them compatible with the new craft or providing them with addition features the new UAV introduced.
