Thank you so much to all of you who watched my last DJI Mini 3 Pro video regarding the transmission issues I have been experiencing with my drone – issues that many of you have also had. Well, wouldn’t you know, along with the new DJI Fly app update 1.6.8 has come a new firmware update for the…

YAY! What an improvement! Shame about the new problems LOL. Still, I am so glad the range is better now. How has your experience with the Mini 3 Pro been with the new update? A huge thank you to everyone of you who have been watching my videos and supporting my content!

Was having a problem with blue controller icon only showing up on maps sometimes, and signal detection arrow pointing wrong way if it did appear. Calibrated my DJI RC, which I didn't realize you could do, and it seems to have fixed the issue
Bottom line is the DJI mini three pro has hardware issues. This is not software related. This is hardware which probably can never be fixed. This issue is so in your face that dji should recall the mini 3. Or the fucking controller which ever may be the culprit.
Your range test is fully inconclusive as you only flew what 600 m out. They’re claiming 12 km range. From what I actually saw on your screen recording was you were in fact at the point where you were going to start experiencing range issues at 600 m. Video shows that the range issue is not fixed. Were you afraid to fly a little further and show that there would be range issues still with this drone? Don’t be afraid to upset dji.

Well I had no issues with range but after latest fw (.201) and dji-rc I froze while shooting vertically (no screen recording or focus track. Just flying around less than 100m away) and the dji rc froze and I couldn’t tell if the controls were even working but luckily RTTH worked and I saved the drone. So please do check vertical mode shooting and seems I’m not the only one with this issue with latest fw.
thanks, Simon, for doing this great test! Sure appreciate your diligence in staying on top of this range problem which does now seem to be resolved!! Awesome! Cheers!
Would love to see some videos of shots, and places. Not just an update from the latest version, each day. If you do then save up everyday and make one video with each days rest of the versions lol would like some scenic videos of where you live! Looks beautiful out there
its flying well with the new firmware but i did get a couple of stutters earlier even with full transmission and only at 240 metres away after that it was fine
I lost my maps. Did you?
THE CURRENT FIRMWARE IS NOT A FIX. FFS, You get a few extra meters of range and its fixed. I have been consistently achieving 2.8km with original firmware.
Hi I'm in Canada so it should be FCC
I now even tried the rcn1 controller and seemed to be doing a better job slightly almost not that noticible better than the RC but still had lots of signal issues after 300 to 400 feet I lose connection.
Also the transmission tap I only see he auto / manual that is greyed out and can't choose. There is no frequency tab on my controller 1.6.8 v latest update
My signal is stuck at 2.4 GHz and doesn't change
I think th drone and or the controller might be a lemon at this point
Not sure if anybody else has noticed this, but there is a battery update for every battery that you put in the drone.
I have DJI Mini2. New version of DJI Fly is reseting compass calibration, I have noticed that on Samsung S10 and Oppo Reno 5. You only need go to Google Maps and calibrate it.
This update completely fixed my compass but hasn't had much noticeable increase in signal or range. It looks like you may just need to calibrate the RC compass (swipe down and enter the RC settings) While my range isn't great – slightly worse than my Mini 1 – it wasn't as bad as disconnecting at 130 meters. It looks like some units had issues with selecting wifi bands which this update fixed. I think the Mini 3 just has poor range in general compared to other recent DJI drones. Not sure if that is a fix with further firmware or a hardware issue.
came for the crocs, was sad there was no crocs
Hi mate try calibrating the controller compass by swiping down from the top of the screen where you can see the WiFi Bluetooth icons et cetera and click on the cog icon in the top right hand corner of the screen the you will see the option to calibrate the controller compass.
Hi Simon. Great useful video. I wonder if you tried calibrating the RC compass to see if that fixed the radar map isssue
When I did the 201 update yesterday. The drone shut down after its firmware was done and then the RC firmware was installed, followed by a message telling me that the data was being reset.
DEAR SIMON. PLEASE HELP ME
For my unit the difference was really small.
Tested it at the middle of the sea, and the range was around 2.2 km. (didnt fly all the way till disconnection, instead till heavy transmission lag and 1 bar of signal)
Now doing the same flight after the update and stopping just before disconnection I got 2.5 km.
I guess there is a minor difference for me, but not really
I haven't been experiencing any problems with range at all, even on the original firmware was able to get well over 2km without any bars dropping, maybe as im in a FCC region. Glad they fixed the problem for you, can gear how happy you are!
Hello Simon, not fix, same problem lose connection on same distance (City areas around 300 m ) :( Thank you for the video.
There is a 201 update
I know from your previous videos that you seem to have a lot of compas problems. I never had them. Have you tried flying from a different location and see if the problem persists?
When you flew 600 mtr away is did see the compass turn. Has it been fixed?
Are you flying with normal battery or extended battery. A friend has the extended battery package and after this update he has no problems except for the arrow on the map.
Watch some other videos on you tube and you’ll get an update on the compass on the new updated app.
Have you tried calibrating the compass (on the controller, not the drone). You swipe down from the top of the rc screen then tap the cog in the top right. If you scroll through the list of things "calibrate compass" is now in that list. Select that then follow on screen prompts. Basically turn it around horizontally then vertically. Mine was off like yours but after calibrating the rc it now seems accurate finally. I think DJI still have some way to go in terms of firmware updates till the M3 performs as well as the M2 imo.
I think your drone had it real bad. I got 700 in an urban area. But I was not really testing it hard. CE version in South Africa.
You need to be very very careful after an update to test out everything b4 doing any serious flights. I made this mistake with the mini 1 and it started doing some crazy stuff almost lost it. They change things. After my update on the 3 I could not get messages to auto unlock geofencing. Imagine if i was on a paid gig?
Sorry I missed if you said you’d done this, but calibrate the RC. Go outside, swipe down, hit that weird little shape (hexagon or pentagon I think) in the top right near the clock. Scroll down to RC calibration then follow it. That sorted mine out. I had another way worse issue after this to do with screen freezing during flight. In fact entire app was freezing and had to bring it back like that. But after trying tens of things, I think I figured out the problem was that the SD i’d left in the RC during update needed a complete re-format in the controller. Done 3 flights since and no problem. If you had an sd in there for the update but haven’t recorded much video onto the drone yet in flight, I’d do that before you do. I think this is because its cacheing on the controller when you record on the drone.
Do you have the next update ending in 201 ? Not 200..
Hi Simon, great video.
I sadly have the same arrow pointing the wrong way issue which is so annoying and not sure how they can fix it.
My range is still worse than my mini 2 was so remain disappointed with it in comparison and wishing I still had my mini 2! Why is your signal improved and mine hasn’t? Very odd ?
Excellent news. Very glad that’s sorted for you.
