J150 J70 Image Transmission Module to Restore Connection

IMPORTANT - after completion, be sure to sign back in to your account; otherwise acres fields and other data will not be saved.

1. Log in with a beta account 0:12

Open the app and sign in using a beta account.
- For account and password, please get in touch with

This is required before accessing the update path used to resolve the module mismatch.
Confirm you are fully logged in before proceeding to device settings.

2. Update the remote controller image transmission module 0:24

3. Enter pairing mode 0:44

Reopen the app after the restart.
Put the system into pairing mode. It is recommended to start pairing mode on the RC first, then on the drone.
Repeatedly press the pairing action as needed until the drone and remote connect.
Once connected, continue to the firmware verification step.

4. Verify current firmware versions before upgrading the drone 1:08

Confirm the connection is established.
Check the firmware versions on both devices.
Note the drone side is on the 2026 version, which is preventing connection to the original setup.
Confirm the remote is on a version that can connect to both firmware variants.
Proceed to the upgrade center to align the drone’s image transmission module.

5. Upgrade only the drone image transmission module 1:36

Go to the Upgrade Center.
Uncheck UAV so only the Image Transmission Module is selected.
Start the upgrade.
Allow sufficient time for the process to complete; it may take 20 minutes to 1 hour.
If the progress appears stuck at 75%, continue waiting because the update may still be processing.

6. Handle the completion message and power cycle the equipment 2:00

7. Reconnect and verify the drone firmware version 2:44

8. Final check and serial number reminder 3:08

Confirm the system is working normally.
If the CPU was replaced, update the serial number accordingly.
Document the completed firmware versions and any changes made during the process.

9. Double-check that you are on your own account before flying

Do not assume the update failed immediately if the progress appears stuck at 75%; it may still be running.
A failure message at the end of the update does not necessarily mean the process was unsuccessful.
Always power cycle both the drone and remote before retrying.
If the drone and remote still do not connect after the first attempt, repeat the update procedure.
Ensure the correct account is used: beta account first, then your normal account after the Image transmission update.
Update the serial number if the CPU was replaced.

Keep the app open and follow the restart prompt exactly after the remote update.
Have the drone, remote, and any required tool ready before starting to reduce downtime.
Allow extra time for the image transmission module upgrade so you do not interrupt a long-running process.
Use pairing mode immediately after power cycling to speed up reconnection.
Verify firmware versions right away after reconnecting to avoid unnecessary repeat work.

How to resolve a connection issue caused by mismatched image transmission module firmware between a drone and remote controller. The process updates the remote and drone to matching versions, then verifies successful pairing and firmware alignment.
