BTW Why we dont have ANY interaction from DJI engineers in this thread? After we gave the company LOADS of our VERY hard earned money, I would expect at least some presence for heavens sake. Instead, total indifference.

Seems that you can continue to fly, albeit with an older firmware version.  I think the more critical issue is the app crashing and resetting the home point constantly.  While this firmware problem is totally unacceptable, I think they need to stop all of this software update nonsense until they fix the app!  P.S.  I really don't think it's hardware causing the firmware update problem.  Just my 2 cents.

Great but lets hope they make a new firmware where you can change the APERTURE of the 2.2 of the Mavic!!!  Thank you for your support DJI

Pretty sure that you're IRIS is locked and no amount of software will change that.

May I suggest to you using ND filters to step down your f-stop.

It works just as well as closing the IRIS if not a drop more tedious than just figuring it out.

Using these enthusiasts drones have done a lot for me to benefit from using filters because of the forced need to use them for basic things like the variance in lighting.

Understand and learn about filters and polarization if you aren't already.

Here is a small tutorial I made using the Phantom 4 Polar Pro 4-32 ND/PL (Neutral Density, Polarizer) filters.

They rotate and have a nice feeling to them so you can set polarization.

I made a small tutorial for the P4 (which you have to eye it on the Mavic filters that I will be uploading soon), I will post a new one because of my issues with the Homepoint setting, I have been dealing with issues and had to return and get a new Mavic., but I don't like sending my birds up without the ability to set a HP which has resulted in a wait on my new video that I promised Polar Pro a while ago.

I am getting so frustrated that i don't have words but here is a tutorial on how to take care of your issues with 2.2 f/s.

Its just a wild guess. Im puzzled by the fact that a certain number have the issue and some go trough perfectly. Really feels like when  you have some different version of hardware that doesnt accept the rom. Hence why instead of giving a quick fix they ask to send the mavic. But its just an idea. What bothers me is the feeling that I bought a very expensive piece of kit that is not up to par, is defective and limited compared to the rest. Plus what If we want the goggles? (which I do)  I canceled my preorder because of this, so the whole thing is totally annoying and unacceptable. If it was a walkera 100 eur drone ok, but we are talking about 1500 EUR, in my book 1500 EUR= Perfect support. But I suppose we are in the times of crappy outsourced engineering to cheap countries which provide cheap service so I guess thats what we get.

I just updated my Mavic to the latest firmware (.700)   and I got a message to calibrate the vision sensors. I can connect to the DJI Assistant 2 but it does not let me perform the calibration, it is stuck at the instructions and it does not go further to the actual calibration screen. I reinstalled the latest firmware but it still does not work.

I have tried this, too. Reinstalled DJI Assistant 2 on Windows 10 - Purged every folder (e.g. AppData). Used another native USB-Port. Created a new DJI Account and tried to upgrade directly to .0700. Same error as before. Stuck at 57% -> 2 Reboots -> fail!


UPDATE: I GOT IT!!!!!
I have done something additional to this steps above:

  • Make a clean Install of DJI Assistant 2 (remove everything left unter AppData, etc)
  • Use a dedicated USB Port
  • Register a new DJI Account and use it in DJI Assistant 2
  • After the first automatic reboot at 57% I have turned off the Mavic Pro manually
  • I have removed the battery for about 1 Minute
  • I installed the same battery again and restarted the Mavic
  • The update process suddenly went above 57% and it finally came to an end successfully!

NOW: NEVER CHANGE A RUNNING SYSTEM! I NEVER EVER DO ANY FIRMWARE UPDATE AGAIN!

I followed your instructions precisely, even cleaned the registry of DJI leftovers and it failed twice, (I now have 3 DJI accounts..) then i did everything again on a different PC and it went up to 78% and then bang, fail . sigh. i will keep trying anyway, doesnt cost me anything. ill try on a mac and on a different pc. hopefully at one point it will work..I have the feeling I have something hardware related.

this is really really bad DJI
please tell us what to do or if you are working on this problem!
i updated my 28.march produced mavic without problems, the one produced on 23. march is not updating

If you are referring to the 818-235-0789 number you would have a better chance randomly calling someone from the phone book for info.

I am sorry but they don't know anything. I have had them give me flat our dangerous, let alone bad info.

I don't know what the process is for hiring those techs that answer that phone but the bar is LLLOOWWWW, with all due respect to DJI.

last try , update from dji go fresh install on tablet. please note, controller is on .700. if that fails ill update everything to .550 and send it back to DJI whenever Its convenient for me. very disappointed.

I haven't been following your problems but just to be safe in case it hasn't been offered, have you tried switching cables?  Always check the cables first. I am sure you are past the but JIC.

Updated by Android phone with no problems, but...
- the annoying "NFZ" issue was not solved!

Is this what is causing me my "weak GPS signal" for the homepoints at the RC and follow me?

I wonder if the update will fix that at all.  My whole DJI fleet has been grounded for a month because of this damn HP issue and I'm not buying a much needed and much desired I2 fully decked because of it.

Just wanted to add, I was one who could not install the .600 FW update, but had success with a similar process you've described and the .700 update. Rather than using Assistant 2 or my Android device, I used my son's iPod Touch. The update hung at 75% the AC power cycled, I shut it down, pulled the battery and after powering back on, the update picked back up and completed successfully. I think the battery pulling is what did the trick which is odd, I would never advise anyone to pull a battery seemingly mid update of anything. Thanks for the tip! I'm glad this worked, but pretty frustrated for a number of reasons. This isn't really a solution DJI, we shouldn't have to pull batteries just update our devices, it's risky! And I get it stuff happens, but after shelling out a lot of money we shouldn't dread your RMA process and/or your bad customer service!

I only want to say, that I never had problems with updating the Mavic, the RC nor the batteries. Most times I did it with my Mac Book Air with the assistant software. I did it also two times with the iPhone6+ directly. Everytime it worked without any problems.

But I´m following all these post and I think also, that there might be different hardware revisions out there which are producing problems with the updates. Really strange behaviour. I´ve got the Mavic Fly More Combo in mid of December 2016.

With the firmware itself I see, that there are improvements with the gimbal behaviour, but till now it is not perfect. I flew and filmed a lot with the .400, few with the .550 and the .600. Today I will try the new .700 out in the wild.

I hope for all the people with problems, that DJI will help them in a more professional way to use their expensive toys in a more satisfing way. Fingers crossed.
