The DJI Mavic 2 series (Mavic 2 Pro and Zoom) of unmanned drones have received a major update 9 months after their original release. The new firmware update version v01.00.0670 has been released and increases the transmission range of the drones to 10km.

The new update brings a bunch of fixes and quality of life improvements as well. This includes:

  • Increased operating time of remote controller when using in low-temperature environments.
  • Updated auto discharge default settings to two days.
  • Fixed occasional issue: gimbal was unbalanced after self check. Use gimbal auto calibration in DJI GO 4 to fix this issue.
  • Fixed issue: obstacle avoidance switch was unavailable when using MSDK.
  • Increased the maximum transmission distance: 10 km (FCC), 6 km (CE/MIC/SRRC).

The most noteworthy inclusion is most definitely its increased range of 10kms. This increases its maximum range of the drones, which now go farther than any commercial DJI drones that are currently available in the market. The range extension differs for different regions with the US (FCC) getting a range increased from 8km to 10 km, while the Chinese variant has its range go up from 5km to 6km.
