This video will show you how to upgrade the firmware on your Phantom 3 Professional and Advanced.
Please visit our official website www.dji.com click products, Phantom 3, Phantom 3 series, click
download. There are various versions of firmware for both Phantom 3 Professional and Phantom 3
Advanced. If you want to upgrade the professional version aircraft please download the professional
upgrade. If you want to upgrade the advanced version aircraft please download the advanced upgrade.
Download the package according to your requirements. Unzip the download package and archive a file
with the suffix BIN. Insert the SD card into the SD card slot of the gimbal. Connect the micro USB port of
the gimbal with your computer via the USB cable in the box. Launch the aircraft and copy the BIN file
used for upgrade into the root directory of your SD card. Caution: Another .bin file in the root directory
of your SD card may lead to upgrade failure. Please format the SD card by using the app before moving
the BIN file in. Remove the USB cable after you have copied the .bin file into your SD card. The aircraft
will upgrade automatically. Generally the upgrade process will be finished in 30 minutes.
Caution: The following problems might occur during the upgrade process. 1. The gimbal becomes limp.
2. The aircraft indicators suddenly go out. 3. The aircraft reboots automatically. Please keep the aircraft
upgrading and do not turn it off if these exceptions occur. It is normal that each module needs to be
rebooted in a new upgrade. Please pay attention to the gimbal status indicators once the update begins.
The firmware is upgrading while the indicator flashes green and red alternatively. The upgrade is done if
the indicator turns solid green. The upgrade is unsuccessfully if the indicator turns solid red. The best
way to confirm the result of the upgrade is as follows: please connect the micro USB port of the gimbal
with your computer via the USB cable in the box. Check the automatically generated TXT file on the SD
card. Check if the upgrade result is success. The success result indicates a successful upgrade. An abort
result indicates the firmware was already upgraded to the latest version before your upgrade. A failed
result indicates the unsuccessful upgrade. Please repeat the upgrading process again. You just need to
reboot the aircraft to upgrade again. The aircraft may make loud warning sounds while upgrading if the
module is unsuccessfully upgraded. The loud warning sound can be ignored of the camera status
indicator flashed red and green alternatively which means the device is upgrading automatically. The
loud warning sound will be gone once the upgrading is successful. If you fail to upgrade the firmware
many times please contact DJI technical support.
