DJI has released a firmware update for its RC Pro 2 and RC 2 drone controllers, introducing a screen lock feature that enhances device security through password protection.
The update brings firmware version v01.00.0300 for the RC Pro 2 and v06.00.0200 for the RC 2. It also requires the DJI Fly app to be updated to version 1.17.4 or later for the new screen lock to function properly.
This added layer of security allows users to set a password that must be entered each time the controller is powered on. While it may seem like a minor addition, it offers valuable protection for users operating in shared environments or storing sensitive footage on the controller.

Key Features of the Update:
- Screen Lock: Adds the ability to set a password that activates on startup.
- Security Settings: The feature can be accessed by swiping down from the top of the screen, navigating to the Security section, and selecting Screen Lock.
- Password Complexity: Users are prompted to create a password that meets defined complexity criteria.
- Password Management: The password can be updated or disabled through the same settings menu.
Users are advised to keep their password secure. Forgetting the password requires a full system reset, which will erase all saved media and settings on the controller.
DJI also notes that the update includes fixes for unspecified known issues, though no further details were provided.
