I got my phantom 3 adv not too long ago, I would say it's about 5 or 6 months old, has the newer style motors and main board in it. I havnt really had any issues with it, been flying great, no errors no loss of signal or gimbal/battery issues, nothing... I got the p3a for a steal off a guy brand new in-opend package for 450$! I couldn't say no and jumped onboard the dji train and have been in love with them and this forum ever since ..
I have been reading so much latly about firmware and I have read that if the aircraft is not the same firmware as say the battery or controller, then they may have an error or could even crash. I'm also sick of looking at the "update firmware immediately " messages in red font on my app all the time lol.
So here is my current status and firmware, all exactly as I see it in the app.
App version is 3.1.0
Aircraft version 1.5.30+
Remote controller 1.6.0
Under overall status, on the drop menu where it shows if your compass and IMU and all that is normal or not, it says "your craft requires new firmware" .. Or something along that line.. And once I click on that, it says this..
Remote controller requires upgrade
Camera requires upgrade
Aircraft requires upgrade
Battery requires upgrade
In that exact order for everything I have listed.
Now for the remote control fw it has s little "download " button or something. To install it but when I try to install it, it says it can not be installed, this is prolly cuz I am not connected to Internet when I have tried..
As for all the other fw update requirements there is no "download or upload" button to click on like there is with the controller.. There is just the link to the dji site.. I have briefly read how to do the updates, but this is more or less me asking you guys that for 1. Is my drone safe to fly with the current fw that it and the controller and batt is on? And 2. Should I upgrade the firmware from where it's at now if everything seems to be working just fine, or should I just leave it alone? Or maybe upgrade it because I am possibly missing out on something important that the drone or controller/battery needs?
Iam not new to Rc, or lipos, or electronics, and have owned a few lower model drones in my past.. But dji is totally new to me, I already been learning a ton about them.. But one thing that I know I NEED a lot of brushing up on us things like the firmware upgrades, and how firmware needs to match one another, and when to or when not to update it and stuff like that, so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Once again my drone has had no major issues, and really no minor issues either, it flys amazing, works flawlessly, and hasn't failed me yet, but again.. I just wanna make sure it's safe and if I should update fw based on account that I may be missing something critical or important that dji has changed in the newer fw.
