Giving DJI (and now, others!) the D ;)
There are many tools in the drone community which allow you to flash firmware, however DJI, much like Apple, would rather you didnt do this and they remove older firmware to more tightly control what versions their users are running. This isnt something that sits comfortably with me, you should be allowed to choose what firmware runs on your own devices and as such, i present you with DankDroneDownloader, or DDD for short. DDD archives both old and new firmware & with compaible 3rd party flashing software, will allow you to flash this firmware to your drone, camera, remote control or other device.
DDD is quite simply a custom written firmware download tool for popular DJI devices and Autel Drones. Not a windows user? Not a problem! DDD is also available in your (Chrome, Firefox or Edge) web browser over at https://www.dankdronedownloader.com . Of course we reccomend using the windows applicaion for the best features, but the choice is yours.
Having connection issues? always check https://dddstatus.com first!
NOTE: If you recieve the message "401 unauthorised" when trying to load the app, please ensure your system time is sync'd with an NTP time server. In 100% of the cases where this has been reported to me, the users system time was off, causing the server to reject the request.

Donations
DDD welcomes donations. The servers dont cost a huge ammount to keep online, but do of course have a cost. There's also my time in sourcing and adding new firmware and of course app updates, web system updates and keeping track of new models. I do it for the lulz, but if you wanted to donate some cash for my time or server costs, this is of course much appreciated & your name will be shown in the app and on the website. Thank you very much for donating if you choose to do so! :)

Security
I have been informed that some AV apps occasionally flag DDD as malware of various forms. This is caused by the way that some components of the EXE are packed to reduce filesize of the app itself
These are of course false positives. Rest assured nothing nefarious is going on! I will try to remember (i am human) to update the link below with results for the current app version.
App has been tested to run on Windows 10 1607 upwards. You must be running Dot Net Framework 7.0 or higher however. If you are missing this, the app will tell you and offer to download it for you from Microsoft.
