The newly introduced but out of stock DJI Smart Controller gets its first firmware update. Earlier this week, during CES 2019, DJI released the new DJI Smart Controller for the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, Zoom, and Enterprise drones. Interestingly enough the controller is still listed as out of stock on DJI’s website. And as of yet, we have not even seen this new product filed with the FCC, although the partial government shutdown might have something to do with that. On top of that, there are persistent rumors that the Chinese drone maker is working around the clock to assemble all the necessary components for this new controller. Leaving us wondering when we may be able to actually buy this exciting new device. However, none of this stopped DJI from releasing the first firmware upgrade for the DJI Smart Controller.

The last firmware update for the DJI Osmo Pocket was on December 12th, however, the software engineers at DJI must have been busy over the holiday season as there is a new firmware update today. V1.3.0.20 is the official version name of the new Osmo Pocket firmware update that was released today. It promises a number of new features but the ones that I’m most excited about are ‘optimized ActiveTrack’, ‘optimized focus’ and ‘improved auto white balance’.

DJI releases new firmware updates for TB50 and TB55 batteries. Improved firmware addresses early Return-To-Home or Automatic Landing of M200 Series drones without compromising measures implemented to maintain flight safety

DJI has released new firmware updates for users of TB50 and TB55 batteries which address the small number of reports of Matrice 200 Series drones experiencing early Return-to-Home (RTH) or Automatic Landing (AL). These cases are not due to product performance issues but are false alarms triggered by conservative measures DJI implemented last month to prevent any further potential of M200 series drones experiencing loss of power mid-flight. DJI continues a thorough investigation of the root cause of the issue until it is fully resolved.
