It appears that DJI and CaddX have graced us with new firmware updates for their Goggles 3 and Avatar HD, respectively. However, if you were hoping for groundbreaking features, you might want to temper those expectations. The updates introduce a screen lock for the DJI Goggles 3—great for keeping the kids at bay, but easily bypassed by simply downgrading the firmware. It’s security that feels more like an inconvenience than a safeguard.
Meanwhile, CaddX has finally decided to join the living and offers support for new hardware along with a gimbal lock feature. However, don’t get too excited; it’s hardly a revolution. If you’re using a relay module, best to steer clear of this update as it’s not compatible. Rumours suggest some minor improvements concerning OSD flickering—though you’d think they’d make that official rather than leaving us guessing.
Both updates seem to share a theme of minimal effort and cryptic release notes, leaving users to wonder if anyone’s paying attention to their actual needs. If your gear is functioning well, you might want to resist the urge to update. There’s a distinct whiff of complacency about these releases, suggesting the companies are quite happy to rest on their laurels.
For those keen on exploring alternative FPV options or simply sticking with proven firmware versions, now might be the time to take a step back and assess whether these updates are truly worth your while. After all, innovation seems to be on holiday for the moment.
