Hey Guys,

Did you install the Firmware 3.12 yet? Some people are waiting and staying with 3.08
I did wait, and then last week I decided to update and explore some of the new features.
Our video below shows some of the stuff people haven't been talking too much about that
is included in this update. Some pretty cool new features.

Upgraded the day after release and no issues, probably 30+'full batteries without a hiccup
FYI...I just watched their video and they were inaccurate relative to control of the Pahntom during the RTH!
You do not have any control to navigate the Phantom during the RTH until the Phantom has reached the RTH location and started to descend. Matter of fact!!

They have updated the video?

Guy

Yes,
I sent him an email yesterday after I watched it as it claimed full control during RTH, damn, I could have been famous! But he did say he would send me a T-Shirt.

What was cool was that he responded to my email in a few minutes and has already corrected it! That is good business.

Yeah, I've actually learned a few things from his videos. It definitely is good business. IMHO, Something we need more of in this country these days. I'll certainly be looking at their stuff the next time I need something!

With the new software update 3.12 will that also prevent the phantom 2 from being able to fly near airports similar to how the no fly zone is setup for Washington D.C?

Justin's a good guy. I've actually visited his shop and he was cool to talk to.  I purchased my Vision plus from him last July. After purchase Any question I sent by email was promptly replied to.

I have no intentions on flying near airports or any higher than 121 meters especially when I know of known Air traffic routes. Here at my work I'm within 1.5 miles of the Red Stone Arsenal Airfield so we have Fix Wings and Rotary Wings flying over our building all the time. I flew the phantom around my work but stayed very low since I was filming the construction taking place on the new Cabelas building.  What I was wondering though is if I updated the software if it would prevent me from flying at all to be able to film the construction progress at cabelas? So I can look up the airports that are on the list and see how far away you have to be before I could potentially fly? Actually it may be more like 2.5 miles, I will check it on google earth tmrw and see the true distance.

Fair question and good to ask, there are some lists, sorry, I do not have them, I would definitely check it out though, sweet..a new Cabelas, I hate those stores, I always want to buy something when I go in one,,,dang it!.

Turns out the Airfield is right at 2.5 miles from me and the new Cabelas store will be 1/4 of a mile from work so yes I hate where its being constructed as well especially on pay day!  This will be Alabama's first official Cabelas store and they chosed a very good location for it.  There have been proposals for a Bass Pro Shops to come into the region as well which I would love that as well.  Due to our outstanding resources for fishing and having the TN river flowing through most of all of North Alabama, we are known for excellent bass fishing and others alike.

I'm sticking with my current firmware and the 3.6 software. Way too many negative reports still popping up. Both my birds fly and film well so I just can't see a reason to chance it. I'm going against my norm which is to be... "Mr. Immediate Update". I like having the most current firmware on whatever equipment I own. I realize with any firmware, system or application update you should be cautious. Many folks have reported no issues at all while others can't safely fly their bird anymore. And that's just it: DJI updates seem to work...or they don't. Unfortunately my experience with DJI updates has proven to be an even 50/50 toss of a coin. Two brand new, in perfect working order, H3-3D gimbals sent back after bricking on firmware update. The old "firmware zap with tweezers" trick wouldn't even bring them back to life. It's been a few months but I've never received a response to emails I sent to customer support requesting help.

I'm not trying to simply bash DJI. I've given them a lot of my money. I love my DJI equipment... I really do. But I'll humbly and reluctantly admit... I think their product testing and customer support departments really need an overhaul.

I upgraded to 3.12 today after holding off to see what the consensus on the quality of the software would be.   First flight was flawless.

Yug, from what I've seen, unless they have an android device, it's a glorified Phantom 2. No software!
