Update the firmware on your DJI Inspire 2 quickly and easily with this step by step tutorial from heliguy™.

Firmware updates are a good way to fix bugs with your Inspire 2 aircraft, add new features and make sure everyone is flying safely. The Inspire 2 is a great quadcopter, but that doesn’t mean it can’t be improved. The DJI GO app will normally prompt you as and when a firmware update is available. Heliguy has created this step by step guide to show you how to update the firmware on your Inspire 2 aircraft quickly and easily. There are a couple of prerequisites before you begin updating the Inspire 2’s firmware:

Ensure that the Inspire 2 has 2 fully charged batteries.
Ensure that your mobile device (phone or tablet) is fully charged.
Ensure you have a stable internet connection for your mobile device.

Here are the steps you’ll need to take to update the firmware on your Inspire 2 remote:
