Newbie here to the forum (hello, all!). I just purchased my EVO on the 21st and a) charged all of my batteries b) charged my controller c) ran the over-the-air firmware update 3 times, first to update the drone/controller/gimbal/1st battery, then 2 more times to update the batteries. All went well and I had my first 'driveway' flight on Saturday, followed by my first field flight on Sunday. Everything worked like a charm and I didn't have any problem with any bricking or anything like that. Overall this was a far easier process than what I had to do with my old Phantom 3 Standard (in my opinion). So far so good, but thanks for being an open forum that I can use as a reference!
