Just picked up my first drone a Phantom 3 Pro on cyber Monday. Was very excited to take it for a my first flight today. Yesterday I followed the recommended first flight steps which include upgrading both my RC and Phantom 3 firmware. I didn't even think to check release notes, or code stability etc. Just figured it was part of my preflight checklist.
The firmware installation instructions are pretty straightforward, download - unzip - move file to SD card, insert - power up. It said it would take 30 mins. I turned my phantom on, the camera status LED alternated green and red for about 15 minutes and the upgrade was complete. Powered down - and back up again. Upgraded the RC firmware using the DJI Go app and I was set.
First flight today was a huge success. I had no issues with the new firmware at all. I had 15-20mph winds today, so it was gusty, and the phantom performed beautifully. Hovered with great stability, flight was smooth and fluid. I did a bunch of flight patterns, and different altitudes and distances. No problems at all. The video is crisp, and fantastic. Overall a VERY happy new Phantom 3 Pro owner.
