Altum firmware update

Learn how to update the Altum firmware.

It is important to keep the camera firmware updated at all times. You can see the current firmware version at the bottom of the Settings page (gear icon), when connecting to the camera's Wi-Fi (SSID = Altum // password = micasense), and access the page http://192.168.10.254.

The latest firmware can be downloaded via MicaSense firmware download page. Download the latest version and unzip it using your laptop or tablet. The zip file contains a software update file (altum.bin).

Do not power off the drone or disconnect the payload!

Doing so will revert it to the factory settings, disabling the Wi-Fi dongle and you will not be able to use the camera with your WingtraOne.

5. Remove the camera retainer, push the camera up till it comes out of the mount, (without powering off the drone) and press and hold the trigger button until the light turns off
