Checking firmware

DJI GO app
The DJI GO app is very helpful for working through any issues in the DroneDeploy app (though please do keep in mind they cannot be open on your mobile device at the same time). Follow the steps below to check your firmware version.

Step 1: Turn on your system

Turn on your aircraft and remote control, and then connect to the DJI GO app via USB.

Step 2: Enter Camera View

Once you're in Camera view, you will see the menu button in the upper right. That button is shown inside a red box in the figure below.
