How to Upgrade the Firmware

Upgrading the Aircraft and Battery Firmware

If you are using the DJI Zenmuse X3 or X5 Series gimbal and camera:

Step 1 - Check the battery level and Micro SD card storage

- Make sure the Intelligent Flight Battery has at least a 50% charge.

- Make sure that the Micro SD card has 100MB of free space.

Step 2 - Prepare the firmware Update package

1. Download the firmware update package

2. Extract all files to the root directory of your Micro SD card.

3. With the aircraft powered off, insert your Micro SD card into the camera.

Step 3 - Run the upgrade

1. With the remote controller turned off, power on the aircraft. The firmware upgrade will begin automatically.

2. Wait about 25 minutes for the upgrade to complete. The aircraft will beep "D-D-D-D" while upgrading, and beep "D—DD" when the upgrade is complete.

3. Confirm the upgrade result by opening the “.txt” file generated in the root directory of your Micro SD card. You will see the text “result: successful” or “result: failed”.

Step 4 - Upgrade any extra batteries

1. Remove the upgraded battery from the aircraft.

2. Insert the extra battery, powered off, into the battery compartment connected to the flight controller.

3. Power on the battery to start.
