DJI Has Released a New Firmware for the Mavic 2 Series – Version 01.00.04.00
April 23, 2019OK, I’ll admit, I’ve been a little lax on keeping up with firmware update alerts. In all honesty, I was hoping that the rumored new product announcement from DJI on April 23rd would actually happen and that this post would actually be about my new DJI Phantom 5 that I ordered for my birthday (today, the 24th).
Sadly, that’s not the case (and just to clarify, I have no idea what the announcement will be once they do make it, it was just wishful thinking on my part). That said, today’s post is just to let you know that DJI Has Released a New Firmware for the Mavic 2 Series – Version 01.00.04.00. Let’s see what it brings to the table…

This release actually includes 2 fixes and 1 new feature. Let’s see what they are:

Things to Note:

Are There Any Known Issues? Can I Update Safely?
The only issues I’ve noticed from various posts online has to do with network connectivity during the update process. As I’ve said time and time again, a USB cable and the DJI Assistant 2 application is the best, tried and true, way to perform the update.

There you have it. No new drone. No new toy for me to play with on my birthday. It’s a sad day. What we did get was a decent update to an already great flying platform. Once again DJI Has Released a New Firmware for the Mavic 2 Series – Version 01.00.04.00. Go get it if you haven’t already.
