What concerns do you have? The 1.6.4 FW fixes a known battery issue. You should have more concerns by not updating.Ok, I'm about to receive a P3P and I was wondering whether I should be concerned about this new 1.6 update. Should I just leave the FW at 1.5 if its already at that?
Thank youDr0ne, welcome to Phantom Pilots!
It would be a good idea to install 1.6 since DJI has made some changes to help prevent the Phantom from getting into a situation where the battery can shut off mid-flight. If you're not sure how to install the firmware, you can find detailed firmware installation instructions here.
...as you can see, there are a few sarcastic guys who get their feelings hurt over the slightest things.Dr0ne, just ignore the trolls. Some of them (like that guy) just like to pick on everyone.
It's unlikely a new Phantom 3 will be at 1.5 or 1.6 fresh out of the box at this point in time. If your temperatures are above 50f when flying, you can fly your Phantom without worry if you always start flights at 100% charge.Ok, I'm about to receive a P3P and I was wondering whether I should be concerned about this new 1.6 update.

DJI always has the best intentions. As the software world works though, it's impossible to always catch all of the bugs prior to a new software release. Some major bugs have made their way into firmware releases, so it really does make sense to wait and see how the early adopters make out when new firmware is released. For the most part though, the firmware releases are pretty solid.The people that know more about the P3P than anyone on the forum is DJI.
And a very small number that cause new people to worry unnecessarily about things that are no worry at all because of their constant carping about their ridiculous conspiracy theories...as you can see, there are a few sarcastic guys who get their feelings hurt over the slightest things.
Please tell me where I could cause worry????And a very small number that cause new people to worry unnecessarily about things that are no worry at all because of their constant carping about their ridiculous conspiracy theories
Actually quite the contrary....no reason to be sorry.
Some guys think its a race to be the 1st to udate , only to find issues. There are 3 to 4 threads on the changes in the latest fw.
DJI makes a good product (sometimes not best choices for customers) but it is a company.
Spend more time on getting to know the quad . I dont recommend jumping in as far as the fw updates. A few have fixed 1 issue and created other issues.
Dont get me wrong Im not saying not to update, Im saying research the changes, and realize sometimes these updates are pushed out prematurely.
1.5 is stable. I have yet to read that DJI says its ok to fly less than 100% battery on 1.6 either.
Dont spend your time worrying about 1.4, 1.5 1.6 as much as getting to know the quad itself.
