DJI Avata 360 v01.00.0600 Firmware Lands With Goggles 3 And N3 Updates
- by Stefan Gandhi
DJI released new firmware for the DJI Avata 360, DJI Goggles 3 and DJI Goggles N3 on 1 September 2026. The headline change is stability rather than new features, but the release moves five component versions at once, including the RC 2 and the DJI Fly app. This article breaks down exactly what changed, what stayed the same, and how to get every part of your FPV kit onto the new versions without losing your flight settings.
What The September 2026 Release Notes Contain
The DJI Avata 360 release notes dated 1 September 2026 list a single entry under What's New, which is a fix for known issues. There are no new flight modes, camera settings or transmission changes in this build. It is a maintenance release, and the goggles notes published the same day say the same thing.
That does not make it unimportant. Fixes for known issues are how DJI addresses the small faults that surface once thousands of pilots are flying a product in real conditions, from linking hiccups to app crashes to edge cases in obstacle sensing. This is the fourth Avata 360 firmware version listed in DJI's release history and the second in a row focused purely on stability, following the v01.00.0500 build from 16 July 2026.
Every Version Number That Changed
DJI publishes its release notes as a snapshot of the whole ecosystem, so it is worth comparing 1 September against 16 July to see what actually moved. Five components were updated:
- DJI Avata 360 firmware goes from v01.00.0500 to v01.00.0600
- DJI RC 2 firmware goes from v10.00.0700 to v10.00.0800
- DJI Goggles 3 firmware goes from v01.00.1400 to v01.00.1500
- DJI Goggles N3 firmware goes from v01.00.1000 to v01.00.1100
- DJI Fly app goes from v1.21.4 to v1.21.10, and DJI Studio goes from v1.1.20 to v1.2.5
Four controllers were not touched. The DJI RC Motion 3 stays on v01.00.0200, the DJI FPV Remote Controller 3 stays on v01.00.0300, and the RC-N2 and RC-N3 both remain on v01.00.0200. If you fly the Avata 360 with the Motion 3 and Goggles N3, you have two updates to install rather than three.
Why The Goggles Got Their Own Release Notes
The Goggles 3 and Goggles N3 have their own release note documents because both headsets work across several aircraft, including DJI Neo and Avata models. A goggles firmware update therefore affects more than one drone in a pilot's bag.
Both goggles documents for 1 September 2026 list only the known issues fix and the matching DJI Fly app version. For Goggles 3 owners this is the first firmware change since 23 June 2026, when v01.00.1400 arrived alongside the Avata 360 feature update that added 4K at 100fps in 360 mode. Goggles N3 owners had been on v01.00.1000 since the same date.
How To Update The DJI Avata 360 And Goggles
The update runs through the DJI Fly app on iOS or Android, both of which now need to be on v1.21.10. Power on the aircraft, goggles and controller, connect the goggles to your phone, and the app prompts you to download and install any firmware it finds. Keep everything charged above 50 percent before you start, because an interrupted install is the most common cause of a failed update.
DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series) on a computer is the alternative route, and it is the one to use if the app update fails. DJI's own guidance is simple. Restart the aircraft, controller, goggles and app, then try again.
Two notes from the release document deserve attention. First, DJI asks you to restart the aircraft, remote control device and goggles once the update completes. Second, the firmware update may reset flight parameters such as RTH altitude and maximum flight distance. Take a screenshot of your settings before you begin and check them afterwards, particularly if you fly in a location where a specific RTH altitude keeps you clear of trees or buildings.
Is A Known Issues Update Worth Installing?
Yes, and the reason is compatibility as much as bug fixing. DJI validates each aircraft firmware against a specific set of goggles, controller and app versions, and that validated combination is what the release notes describe. Running a September aircraft build with June goggles firmware puts you outside the tested configuration, which is exactly where linking problems and unexpected behaviour tend to appear.
For the DJI Avata 360 in particular, the June feature drop introduced 4K 100fps recording in 360 mode, single lens photo capture, gimbal centre calibration and high precision stitching in DJI Fly. Two stability releases since then have been refining how those features behave in practice. Installing v01.00.0600 gets you the most polished version of that feature set.
FAQs
How do I update my DJI Avata 360 firmware?
Connect the goggles to the DJI Fly app with the aircraft and controller powered on, then follow the on screen prompt to download and install the firmware. DJI Assistant 2 (Consumer Drone Series) on a computer is the alternative if the app route fails. Restart every device once the update has finished.
What is the latest firmware for DJI Goggles 3?
As of 1 September 2026 the latest DJI Goggles 3 firmware is v01.00.1500, paired with DJI Fly app v1.21.10. It replaces v01.00.1400 from June 2026 and fixes known issues.
Why did my DJI firmware update fail?
The most common causes are low battery on one of the devices, a weak phone connection during the download, or a device that was not restarted after a previous update. DJI recommends restarting the aircraft, controller, goggles and the DJI Fly app or DJI Assistant 2, then attempting the update again.
Does updating firmware reset my drone settings?
It can. DJI states that Avata 360 firmware updates may reset flight parameters such as RTH altitude and maximum flight distance. Note your preferred settings before updating and reapply them afterwards.
Final Thoughts
The 1 September 2026 firmware for the DJI Avata 360, Goggles 3 and Goggles N3 is a quiet release, but it updates five components in one go and keeps your kit inside DJI's validated configuration. Set aside ten minutes, charge everything, record your RTH settings and run the update before your next flight.
