I have a question about the warranty. My Inspire 1 flys perfectly now with the firware installed. The DJI GO app says I need to update the firmware. If I decide not to update it because it flys like a dream, will it void the warranty?

I dont think it voids warranty, but they reccomend firmware updates

Welcome to the fold!!
FW updates are not mandatory and have nothing to do with warranty. There have been several threads posted on this.
I stopped doing them 9 months ago and have had zero problems. What made me stop doing them was a rash of bugs in the (then) latest FW which I was able to roll back.
My suggestion to everyone in regard to FW updates is..... "If it ain't broke... Don't fix it."

I am a firm believer of that also.  If your happy, leave it along as I am on the very old 1.1.2 version yet.

Hi AM
I agree with you and if would be nice if DJI would weigh in on this subject.   As you might recall, I have kept my RC on 1.6 and AC on 1.81 after many bugs were accruing. I wish that I had kept my Inspire 1 on the original FW it came with. It was faster and flew better in many ways.

I was wondering if DJI slips in a fix under the radar that could potentially cause a unwanted crash. If your FW was not up to date, could they deny your warranty?

All the best
