Camera Software

Updating Wiris Pro Software:

You shouldn't need to update the Wiris Pro firmware. If you are advised by Freefly support to do so, here is the process:

You will need:

• USB keyboard

• Micro HDMI to HDMI cable

• HDMI Monitor

We know this isn't an ideal method of updating the camera. If you don't have an HDMI monitor/keyboard and would prefer to have the Wiris updated at Freefly, we will happily update it for you. Just reach out to [e-mail]

• First remove the micro SD card from the side of the Wiris Pro and insert it into a computer.

We do not recommend updating the camera firmware unless advised by Freefly Support. We have extensively testing on this version of software and updating the camera may cause issues.
