Tips on updating firmware on P3?

UKFlyer · May 3, 2015

Hi, my P3 Pro is on its way and after reading the manuals and such for the P3 i'm still unsure about the best way to update the firmware on the quad, rc and battery. Is there any firmware updates yet?
I've read "How to Update the Firmware" on the P3 downloads page and it says "updates will be available on this page when available" http://www.dji.com/product/phantom-3/download
I've not got a card reader, should i get one?
Any tips or advice would be most appreciated, dji make it sound like a complicated procedure.
Thanks.

If you have an SD slot in your computer, just buy a spare micro SD card. They always come with an adapter to fit your computer slot. Some others come with a USB adapter so they cam be used as a memory stick.

DJI say on the page you referred to ...
* New Phantom 3 firmware will be added to this page when available.
There's no firmware there ... so none is available
