I know this is rarely an issue, but the added layer of security is a good thing. I mention laptop and battery backup here because, if you do have these options, they are a great safeguard against power failures in the middle of your firmware update. The list of things to charge should include your Mavic batteries, Mavic remote, laptop (if using your laptop to perform the update) and battery backup (if you have one for your desktop computer you plan to use to perform the update). You don’t want an update to fail because the device lost power before the firmware update could complete. This is where a multi charger such as the Mavic Pro Multi Battery Charger comes in handy. Make sure to fully charge all devices involved in the update.

Let me know what you think:įirst things first. Some of the footage is a bit awkward as I try to hold the phone and manipulate the drone, remote and cable. Since it’s in the video I had to use my iPhone to record everything. I do not have a production studio and my only professional camera is my Mavic. If you follow the steps outlined below or in the video, you should have no issue updating your Mavic successfully. PLEASE SEE OUR AFFILIATE DISCLOSURE FOR MORE INFORMATION. A direct cable connection to the update source seems to be the most stable option and I have yet to experience an update hang or failure using this method. You can also update your drone using your phone or tablet and the DJI Go 4 app, however, I’ve found that many times the update will fail or hang due to a variety of factors from intermittent internet connectivity to interference.
