Probably going to sound dumb, but why should I install DJI Assistant? What can it do for me? So far, everything I have done including updates has been through DJI Go which works fine. What are the benefits of using a PC app?
And to add to Wachbergers comprehensive list. I have the Mavic Pro, and I purchased a couple of new 'intelligent' flight batteries a few days ago. Quite often the battery firmware is updated as an integral part of the aircraft update. So to check I connected and powered up Display, RC, and Mavic with new battery. Used DJI Go 4 to check for updates, none available.
This seemed a bit odd, so I checked again using DJI Assistant 2 and Mavic Pro via USB connection to PC and it reported a firmware discrepancy associated with battery firmware update required (I can never remember exact wording). I then proceeded to update firmware on each of the new batteries.
Bottom line is that it's worthwhile checking at least every so often for updates using DJI Assistant 2.
With one or two reports recently which seem to indicate immediate loss of power in some devices I wonder if there is any link at all to battery firmware build in use.
