DJI Phantom 4 Firmware Updates — Will They Continue?

Are DJI Firmware Updates for the Phantom 4 Going Away? How Do I Avoid Firmware Updates If I Don’t Want to Upload Them?

Today’s question is about DJI firmware updates. Will DJI eventually stop rolling out firmware updates on the Phantom 4? And, how do you AVOID DJI firmware updates altogether?

Our caller, Murph from Massachusetts, owns a Phantom 4 V2. With the future of the Phantom series appearing uncertain at the moment, Murph is wondering if DJI will stop rolling out firmware updates. And if so, how will this affect the Phantom 4’s flight performance?

You need to use the best firmware that is free of bugs and gives desired flight performance. Unfortunately, DJI is known to force drone pilots to upload the latest firmware. In this show, you will learn some excellent Tips and Tricks to avoid a forced DJI firmware update. Towards the end of the show, we have some exciting news about the Phantom 4 V2. Thanks for the great question, Murph. Fly safe!
