Matrice 600 Pro - Assembly, firmware, flight test...

Музыка

I assembled these M600 Pro's for a military contractor. Needless to say, between the bugs, lack of documentation and zero chat support courtesy the apparent Chinese holiday, it was NOT a "plug-n-play" experience.
I think the thing that bothers me the most is these are Enterprise machines. So one kind of expects Enterprise support. With the exception of a couple great people on FB (one DJI employee and another authorized dealer), Enterprise support is no better than consumer support.
Beware the UNPUBLISHED firmware recall for M600 Pro's. That's right. UNPUBLISHED. One must be privy to the DJI "black market grapevine" to get word of these recalls. Horrible.

    Well...I should clarify that these were not my drones. I built them for a military contractor. That said, I DO plan on getting one. And I DO plan on mounting both camera and LIDAR to it. But that's down the road a bit...maybe 3-6 months.

    i got a quote from dronenerds with a Lidar system. 110k including software but without the drone. Crazy price but the equipment is state of art for sure. I am not sure if the ROI is there yet if you don't have some immediate use or application for any of your clients. If you want to do 3d mapping, still much cheaper ways out there and works fine but of course not as centimeter accurate as a Lidar scanner.

    Good advice. But you should clarify. When you say, "...activating on ios..." are you speaking of an iPad or Mac computer? -- Also, if I recall, I didn't have to create login credentials back in 2017 (or I would've noted that in the video). So it looks like things may have changed from 3 years ago.

    ~> Certainly not a smooth Enterprise buying experience. How would one know that they weren't successful in "connecting" with DJI servers ? (Chinese holiday aside) Are they able to fly without restrictions with a total power down on all devices and a restart or will they hit the brick wall continually ? Will they have to wait for the publication of the second assistant 2 software ?

    Re: WORKING Assistant 2 software.... The sad truth is, I don't know. There's the one available to the public, and then there's the version I got. I found a "back door" for my solution. I don't know how others in my situation are handling the same "Activation" situation. Even better, there's now a firmware recall on the latest M600 Firmware. But get this...the recall is NOT published on the DJI website. Try as I may to find the recall on their website - or extract said information from chat support or phone support - I get nowhere. "Support" act like they have no idea what I'm talking about. As great a machine as the M600 is, it feels less and less like an Enterprise machine, and more and more like some kind of black market Russian machine. I thought DJI would have some kind of Enterprise support for Enterprise customers. They don't. DJI "support" (HUGE air quotes there) is handled via FB, Forums and other sleezy-feeling, back alley avenues. Mind blown.

    Connect a Windows computer to the M600 via a USB cable. Run DJI Assistant 2 software. From there it will be self explanatory how to see Firmware, update firmware, etc. If it doesn't work, then there is something wrong with your Windows computer or your USB cable or your version of DJI Assistant 2 or your M600. These will be impossible to troubleshoot via the comment section of a KZread video. So use Google or better yet, DJI Support. This is my last reply.

I don't know what the hell KZread is doing to these conversations, but without your previous comment and my response, I'm not sure what we're talking about. Keep in mind I respond to a LOT of KZread and email comments. So keeping context is important. That said... -- Whatever link you're talking about, I didn't do anything with a Macbook. The DJI Assistant 2 software I used was on a Windows PC. So if I'm understanding your question correctly, I'm afraid you're on your own. Sorry.

    I do not. I seek out firmware as needed. Because I don't actually own an M600 Pro, I haven't sought out alternate firmwares. That said, the "dirty little secret" is that DJI keeps legacy firmware on their servers, but hidden away from public view. Knowing the URL is the secret. I wish I could be more help. Good luck.
