Getting my M210 soon and need to be able to use my 3 month old XT. Looks like it is a V1 so I'm to send back to DJI for a $384 upgrade. My XT gets used weekly for first responder work. My question is why am I having to pay for an upgrade to a $12K device thats almost new, and what timeframe for the upgrade.


Thanks in advance...

I believe all you need to make Zenmuse XT work with M200.M210 and RTK version, is a gimbal adapter, you should have bought one when you bought your M200

Just got a reply from DJI Support:


Dear Bruce,

"Thank you for contacting DJI Technical Support.

Per 46640013H-FRD, your XT model is ZXTA13FR.

Before you ship it in for service, we need do the following steps."


Looks like I have to pay shipping fees too. Not happy to owning a $12K 3 month old outdated camera.....

Hope this information helps you.

"The Zenmuse XT will work on the M200 series systems, however, the Zenmuse XT adapter is required in order for the sensor to interface on the drone. If you have a V1 Zenmuse XT sensor you will need to send it to DJI for updating. If you have a V2 Zenmuse XT, it has already been updated, however, it still requires the adapter.

Determining if Update is Required

To determine if you have a V1 or V2, check the original packaging. If the label states V2, it has been updated. If not, you will need to send your Zenmsue XT to DJI for updating, there will be a cost associated with this update. You will also need the adapter on V1 updated XTs. Examples of V2 packaging labels are below:"

You know how much is the cost around? for the v1 to be updated i have 3 XT sitting around maybe i need to send those to update

Is this update only for the use with M210? What is new/fixed?
-- EDIT --
I got a response from Enterprise support, and the upgrade is only needed for the M200.
Users using it on Inspires don't have to update.

Hi Rob,

Your question was about the M210, but then you said that Enterprise support said that the upgrade is only needed for the M200.

I just got an M210. Will I need to get the upgrade?

If so, I am also very annoyed at being required to pay an additional fee on a brand new XT to make it work with the M210.
Thanks.

Nevermind, I found this DJI document:

Looks like the XT will need the upgrade for the whole M200 series.

Hi - Did you get your XT upgraded and working on your M210? I'm at that stage now, and I cannot get the XT to do the firmware update it needs to work with the M210 (The M210 requires a different version of XT firmware to the Inspire 1, which I had been using with the XT). I'm also incredibly frustrated especially considering how much money has been spent.
