Today, the world’s largest drone manufacturer released a new firmware update for the DJI P4 Multispectral quadcopter. The firmware version is v00.00.0159.

The DJI Phantom 4 Series has long been dead as far as DJI is concerned. However, for many professional drone operators, the Phantom 4 Series remains an all-time favorite quadcopter that is especially well suited for Drone Mapping missions.

The latest addition to the DJI Phantom 4 Series was the DJI P4 Multispectral, which was first introduced in 2019.

The P4 Multispectral is a high-precision drone equipped with an integrated multispectral imaging system designed for agricultural missions, environmental monitoring, and other applications. With this technology, the P4 can collect exact data at the plant level.

P4 Muiltispectral firmware update overview.

Date: 2022.07.25
Aircraft Firmware: v00.00.0159
Remote Controller Firmware: v00.00.0159
DJI GS Pro App: v2.0.17
DJI Assistant 2 For Phantom: v2.0.10
DJI Terra (v3.4.4)

DJI does not provide a lot of information as to what this firmware brings to the P4 Multispectral quadcopter. The drone maker simply mentions that it fixes several bugs and improves the stability of the unmanned aircraft.

Please note that the DJI P4 Multispectral quadcopter and the remote controller cannot be downgraded to v00.00.0146 or earlier after this latest Firmware Update.

Also, keep in mind that after updating the remote controller with the latest firmware version, the remote controller can only be used with the P4 multispectral drone.

Check that the firmware for the aircraft and remote controller is up to date and that the D-RTK 2 Mobile Station firmware is v02.02.0505. Otherwise, they will not work together. It is not suggested to use this firmware with a DJI Terra version older than v2.1.1, as some functions will not operate correctly.
