Firmware Update

DJI Mavic 3 firmware update adds features missing at launch

When the DJI Mavic 3 was announced last year, it generated a lot of interest by promising a lot of new features and capabilities, some of which weren’t available at the time of launch.

Well, with this firmware update (ver. 01.00.0500), it looks like DJI has added all of those promised features bringing it up to the full capabilities that were promised at launch.

Note: The firmware update can be installed via the DJI Fly App (ver. 1.5.8 required) on both iOS and Android phones.
