DJI OSMO FIRMWARE v1.4.1.80 Guide & Support Thread
IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!! - DJI have issues a statement regarding a rare chance that, if using the firmware released on christmas day, some Osmo's would have issues with the WiFi. If you are having this issue then please see this thread - http://forum.dji.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=38018
Today is a glorious day in the Osmo world as DJI have just released another firmware for the the hugely popular handheld gimbal/camera, version 1.4.1.80. You will be happy to hear that the 4k recording issue has now been resolved. Also the firmware activates the Microphone Gain option added to the latest GO App. For optimal user experience its advisable to use the latest available DJI GO App version ( IOS 2.4.3 - Android 2.4.3 )
Updating the firmware is easy. You have two options. The DJI Go App method and the .BIN file on the SD card method.
The GO App update method is easy and preferred. 1: Power on the Osmo, Start the DJI GO App. You get prompted that a new update is available in the GO App when you open it ( need to have Internet ). 2: Download the firmware following the direction form the app. 3: With the Osmo gimbal LOCKED, connect the mobile device to it. 4: Start the update process, takes about 10 to 20 minutes. 5: When the update finishes successfully you will hear the D-DD beeps and the DJI Go App will indicate success and prompt you to restart the Osmo. The Camera status light will also turn a SOLID GREEN ( left hand side light ).
6: Restart the Osmo ( and app if it does not refresh the update successful page ).
INFO: If the firmware update fails, the sound produced by the Osmo will be a D-D-D-D beep. Try the update again. Leave it to go for longer as its likely you turned it off too early.
The .BIN file on the SD card method should be a last case option if the App method does not work.
SD Card Update Method 1: Downlolad the latest firmware for the osmo from DJI's site - http://www.dji.com/product/osmo/info#downloads 2: Extract the downloaded file ( name file here ) and copuy the OSMO_FW_V01.04.01.80.bin file to your SD card. 3: With the Osmo OFF and the gimbal locked, put the SD card in the camera and power on the Osmo 4: The Osmo will start to update automatically. Can take between 10 and 20 minutes. 5: Wait for the Osmo Camera Status light to change into a SOLID GREEN and you hear the D-DD beep.
6: Power the Osmo OFF and back ON and check it connects to the DJI Go App.
INFO: If the firmware update fails, the sound produced by the Osmo will be a D-D-D-D beep. Try the update again. Leave it to go for longer as its likely you turned it off too early.
The DJI Go App should show firmware version 1.1.19+ after the Update is successful. On the SD card you will also have two log files that will look similar to the below.

You can also confirm these firmware versions using the DJI GO App. Connect to the Osmo and in the App select Settings ( gear Icon )>General>About>Firmware - You can match up the log file and the different modules mentioned in the App using the below as a guide.
Module [01 00] is Camera
Module [04 00] is Gimbal
Module [08 00] is Encoder
Module [09 00] is AirOFDM
Module [07 00] is WiFi

before using this firmware update on the Osmo handle.
2. If the Inspire 1 Zenmuse X3 gimbal and camera enters protection mode, you will need to power cycle the Osmo
to reactivate it.
3. The Inspire 1 Zenmuse X3 gimbal and camera does not support Sleep Mode.

Let´s hope the fixes work as described - one big step for Osmo finally!
Thx Thx Thx Thx
- Ok, first update attempt did not work (loaded the file to the µSD card root and started the Osmo, blinked and after a few minutes ended with D - D - D beeps)
- After restarting Osmo and connecting the App the App told be about the new download. Then all over sudden the Osmo replied with D - DD - D - DD beeps and everything was fine
- Lost the LiveView image which never happened before?! After restart of Osmo and App worked fine again.
- Setting Mic Loudness works
- Recording 4K in 4096 x 2160 resolution now seems to work fine
- Locking the Gimbal in TimeLapse seems to work fine. I will perform more outdoor tests soon
- Even though not mentined in the release note I found the WiFi connection of Osmo to be much more reliable than before?! Before I had to switch on / off Osmo for about three times before I was able to connect, now it works with the first attempt.
=> Looks good so far. More testing required - let´s go Osmo community...
I tried the firmware update via the Go App. It succeeded and a D-DD beep was repeated.
The following is the log of OSMO_FW_RESULT_AB.txt...

But, UNABLE to connect to Wi-Fi!!!!
The connection is disconnected and reconnected periodically (at an interval of several seconds).
Then, I tried the firmware update many times via the SD Card. All failed and a D-D-D-D beep was repeated.

Upgrading ...
Result: Failed.
Reboot the aircraft and try to upgrade the firmware again.
I feel that something is strange. How can I recover it?
Hey sploodge,
Thanks for your instructions. I don't get the information about new firmware after connecting the Osmo with my iPhone and Open the DJI Go app. The app shows me the normal picture from the Osmo only.
But even if it will remind me that a new firmware is available (later?), I need to disconnect the mobile device from the Osmo to connect with internet to follow the instructions right ?
Is there any other method to get the upgrade via DJI Go App ?
The two videos in your post arme privat - got that message while try to watch them.
02.47.44.92 instead of version 02.48.45.21 on the screenshot.
Can the Pro DJI folks comment on this or is this par for the course with all DJI products? Sooo many inconsistencies.
What is the correct version for the camera?????
After updating to the Firmware Version: v1.4.1.80 which went well all new functions work In the About section I am still showing 119+ as the Version instead of Firmware Version: v1.4.1.80--
On both IOS & Android devices with the latest App versions--Although every once in a while it will show the correct Firmware Version: v1.4.1.80 then restart OSMO and it goes back to 119+
Anybody else seeing this or have any ideas what's going on?
Same here my camera 01 version on mine is 02.47.44.92 and should it be 02.48.45.21????
Mine always shows 119+ - I would not be too concerned about it to be honest. Probably an odd app issue I remember the Phantom 3 did it at some point for me.
I commented on this a few posts up.. I run betas so it seems to have screwed up my App on the phone I took the screenshot on.. My logs did show the same version as you for the camera 02.47.44.92
Ok, I renamed the old 'wifi-problematic' firmware, and download the new one,and I noticed the newer fixed one is smaller size.
The older one is 33.8 MB zipped, 73.0 MB .bin uncompressed, dated Dec. 25th 2015 6:56 PM
while the NEW one is 32.77 MB zipped, 72.9 MB .bin uncompressed, dated Dec. 26th 2015 5:33 PM
I can not believe that DJI can't give a solution to this HUGE problem with the 25th Dec update. There should be a way to repair it without sending the Osmo to DJI Services... I'm from Venezuela and It will cost me a lot of money just to send it and getting back, and also can of it's ruin my trip in the mountain....
I just update it on Dec 25th through the App. Now it won't connect for more than 2 seconds with my cell phone. The app never have a chance to open Live View.
I've try to reset WiFi (front button + shot button + power button) and also try to install the new update (BUG Fixed) through the MicroSD card but won't install I just got the red indicator and Beep sound.
Can I try to go back on the Firmware? How can I do it?
Open a case with DJI and ask for a pre-paid RMA so you don't need to pay to send it back.. This problem is 100% DJI's problem so users should not need to pay to send it back to them.
I would love if DJI clarified the returns process and how the shipping is handled as its very confusing.. NO user should need to pay to send an item back if its a problem caused by the manufacturer.
