The update has to be done through the DJI GO app

I'm having trouble with the download.  I've tried it several times and it always says download failed.  Also, now I can't connect the aircraft to the RC.  Actually I can control the aircraft, but not through the app.  What am I missing?

Yes you can bind the Inspire remote with the P4, and the P3 Pro/Adv as well.
Just update the RC to ...

is the other way around also possible? Can I bind the P4 remote to an Inspire and use it as slave controller to control my camera on the Inspire 1 Pro?

I'm sorry but you cannot use the P4 as a slave controller for camera control and you also cannot use it as a master and have your Inspire as a slave,
The reason is because the Inspire RC also has a 5.8 RX/TX so the slave can communicate with the master for camera control.

Yes, you are correct.

Ken, is there any way you can contact me privately re-forum points. There seems to be a glitch in the system.
I put this here as I don't know how to contact the mod's privately.

Thanks
Rob

How do you access IMU calibration without the IMU error message popping up? I only see the "IMU Calibration" button in the dji go app when there is an IMU error. Although I am no longer showing an error my P4 takes a while to "WARM UP".... HELP?

"2.      Changed procedure for stopping motors during flight. To stop motors during flight, pull the left stick to the bottom inside corner while simultaneously pressing the Smart RTH button. This new procedure will only become available when Remote Controller firmware is updated to the latest version.  "

Does this effect the Phantom 3 or just Phantom 4?

Thanks

Can anyone tell me why you would want to stop the motors in flight.  Referring to #2 to stop motors.  Seems to me this would end up in a crash of some sort.

Guys, does anyone of you know why I can't set the bitrate of the video downlink in the "Image Transmission Settings" menu? Near Auto, the "Custom" button appears faded out and I can't tap on it. Is there a specific situation in which it's not possible to press it? Also, how did this person record the screen of the device, is there an app for that?

To get the warming up process to be way quicker, do a cold IMU calibration.
Leave the aircraft in a cold place to 10-15 minutes, then pop the battery and power up and have the app and RC already running and in the IMU calibration page. As soon as the app see the aircraft start the IMU calibration on a flat surface.
When finished, it will only take seconds to complete the warm up process.

Yes, it's powered on and it doesn't let me customize the bitrate and/or the radio channels. Could there be another reason?
P.S. I thought there was an iOS app to screen-record

Air Shou may let you screen record.
I see, you may be in a CE area and that may be why but I am checking on it.

It's alright now! I tried to do it now at home with "SafeToFly (Non-GPS)" in yellow and it allowed me to customize both the transmission channel and bitrate. It didn't allow me to do it when I was outside with "SafeToFly (GPS)" in green, I don't know why. I'm in Italy btw.

Hi. try this.... on your tablette or smart phone go to Settings and change language (English US). then open dji go App and over HD check that you will see all the settings you looking for. Problem maybe the legislation in some contries in EEC???. P.S check the metric sistem cause it may change from metric to imperial.
cheers
