Hi, My phantom 3 Advanced has returned from the factory.
It now connects and shows the live camera feed everythime I connect it to my
Apple iPad Air 2 .
Apparently they changed the gimble board or something?
Before (from new it was intermittent) it would only show the live camera screen on the Go App once every so often.
Its bucketing down here and blowing a gale so I cant fly it yet.
When I connect it to the Go App its asking me to do a Firmware update for the camera.
When I select the about button on the app the firmware versions are as follows.
iPad version 9.3.1 Its asking me to update to 9.3.2 ( but after looking at reviews it seems its bricking iPads so I might wait a bit for that one)
App version 2.8.1
Aircraft version 1.1.9+
Remote Control version 1.6.0

My questions are,
1:  Should I update the camera firmware?
2: should I do a IMU calibration before I fly it?
3: should I link the controller? ( It seems to be linked already)
4: what is version 1.1.9+ ?

Thanks to everyone who shares info, Dji and Model Flight in Adelaide for sending it away and tring to sort it for me.

Hello Sandmark, it is recommended to keep the firmware up to date. And after the upgrading, it would be better to calibrate the IMU. Normally the "+" will disappear when all the parts have been upgraded successfully.

Hi,
Can I update straight to the latest version or do I need to do it in steps.
Thanks

I updated from 1.1.9+ to 1.8.80 using an SD card (took 5 min)
Did a IMU calibration
Did a gimbal calibration
Didn't worry about linking as the RC and aircraft are talking to each other so seems OK.
Calibrated the compass.
Went for a quick lap around the house paddock and went to 120m up and out about 200m.
Seems ok
Will give it a good test when the weather is better.
