Firmware updates for a bird that flies and does all well are irrelevant, what counts is that the company still provides support and spare parts if needed, DJI will kill off a product no matter how much it is still being used and leave owners out to dry, the Inspire 1 is on it's death bed literally as new batteries are not being produced, leaving owners to the hands of aftermarket suppliers making the possibility of a drop from the sky a very serious possibility. I love my Inspire 1 even if it has been a roller coaster ride, but now I'm looking at the possibility of it becoming a very expensive paperweight.
