How to Update Phantom 4 Firmware

The DJI Phantom 4 is the basic model of the Phantom 4 drone series. The P4 is no longer manufactured by DJI as of April 30, 2017, so we HIGHLY recommend upgrading to the new DJI Mavic Pro which starts at $749.

Phantom 4 firmware updates keep your aircraft working at its best. It's important to remember that the Phantom 4 quadcopter is an advanced Unmanned Aerial System with software that's constantly evolving. Those updates correct problems or even add new features, such as improving the Phantom 4 camera accuracy and improving download times. DJI pilots can download and install firmware updates through DJI Assistant 2 on their home computer and DJI Go on their mobile device.
