Release Date: December 21, 2023
DJI, the world leader in drone technology, continues to push the boundaries of innovation with the latest firmware update for the Mini 4 Pro, elevating the user experience to new heights. Released on December 21, 2023, the firmware version v01.00.0300 brings a host of exciting features and improvements, with a particular focus on enhancing the drone’s capabilities and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Controller Firmware Updates:
In tandem with the drone firmware update, the Remote Controller Firmware has also been enhanced:
- DJI RC 2: v02.00.0300
- DJI RC-N2: v01.01.0200
These updates bring refinements to the controller’s functionality, ensuring a seamless integration with the Mini 4 Pro and offering users enhanced control and responsiveness.
Auto Mode for ActiveShots 360°
The Mini 4 Pro takes aerial photography to the next level with the addition of Auto mode for ActiveShots 360°. This feature allows users to capture stunning panoramic shots effortlessly, providing a dynamic and immersive visual experience.
Vision Assist and Enhanced Switching
With the inclusion of Vision Assist, pilots can now navigate with increased confidence. The Vision Positioning and Obstacle Sensing switch adds an extra layer of control, giving users the ability to adapt to various flying environments seamlessly.
Digital Zoom and High-Resolution Photography
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the 3x digital zoom now available in 12MP photo mode. Furthermore, the firmware update introduces support for taking five 48MP photos when using Auto Exposure Bracketing (AEB) and Burst Shooting, ensuring crisp and detailed images.
Expanded Compatibility
DJI is committed to providing users with a versatile ecosystem. The firmware update extends compatibility to DJI Goggles 2, DJI Goggles Integra, and DJI RC Motion 2. Users can explore the world of FPV (First Person View) with these accessories, unlocking new perspectives and enhancing the overall flying experience.
Regulatory Compliance in China
In response to evolving regulations in China, DJI has incorporated features to facilitate compliance for civil uncrewed aircraft owners. The firmware now enables users to register their aircraft with the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC) using their real names, aligning with the country’s uncrewed aircraft-related regulations.
Intelligent Flight Battery Plus Activation
One of the standout features of this firmware update is the automatic activation of the US Remote ID exclusively when the Mini 4 Pro is used with an Intelligent Flight Battery Plus. This targeted activation ensures compliance with remote identification requirements in the United States, promoting responsible and transparent drone operations.
Changes in Remote ID Compliance
Prior to this firmware update, both the DJI Mini 3 and Mini 4 Pro were Remote ID compliant. However, post-update, Remote ID compliance for these models is contingent on using the Intelligent Flight Battery Plus. This adjustment reflects DJI’s commitment to aligning its products with the latest regulatory standards, ensuring a seamless and compliant flying experience.
Important Note for Users:
It’s essential to highlight that individuals who have purchased Intelligent Flight Batteries (non-Plus version) will not be Remote ID compliant post-update, even though they were compliant before the firmware update. DJI is actively aware of this concern, and they are diligently working towards finding a solution before Remote ID regulations come into effect. The Priority 1 Drones team is committed to keeping users informed about any developments regarding this matter.
