I had to use the Internet Wayback machine to go back through the stages of the original Syrp website to find the firmware. Eventually I found it but only as far as version 2.8.0 &#8211; i beleive theres a 2.8.2 out there but could not access that file.<\/p><p><\/p><p><strong>Here is the Syrp Genie (first model only)2.8.1,  2.8.0  and 2.6.2 firmware: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1NgQm-pyUpQ3LxB4sWI-Eu4nlJs9sf4w1?usp=sharing\">https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1NgQm-pyUpQ3LxB4sWI-Eu4nlJs9sf4w1?usp=sharing<\/a><\/p><p><\/p><p><strong>Instructions on how to update your Genie<\/strong><\/p><ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Locate and Download the latest firmware release .zip folder onto your computer. Unzip the folder to reveal the .bin file with the latest release.<\/li><\/ol><p>2. Take a blank FAT32 formatted USB key and load the .bin file onto the USB stick<\/p><p>3. Prepare the Genie for upload by ensuring the unit is powered down**.<\/p><p>4. Insert the USB key into the USB port on the side of the Genie.<\/p><p>5. While holding down the back button press and hold the OK button simultaneously until the screen starts flashing black and white which indicates the unit is reading the .bin file on the USB key.<\/p><p>6. After approx 10 secs the Syrp logo should appear and your Genie will load as normal entering the Setup screen. Remove the USB key.<\/p><p>7. Set the time, date, units and frames per second according to your region, navigate to &#8216;Go!&#8217; and press OK<\/p><p>8. Scroll down to settings and hit OK, then scroll to &#8216;About&#8217; and check that current firmware reads the correct version.<\/p><p>9. Go filming!<\/p><p>* Do not use hard drives or other external USB devices to load the firmware. Always use a relatively new USB key. Some USB keys draw too much power to correctly function, this seems to be an issue with older USB keys. Do not load the .zip file onto the USB key. You must unzip the folder and load only the .bin file.<\/p><p>** Please note that uploading new firmware will wipe all existing presets and settings on the Genie. If you wish to keep settings please make a note of them and reinstall after update.<\/p><p>*** If the red indicator light around the OK button is red then the firmware has not correctly installed. Power off the device and try again. Consider a new USB key from a reputable brand.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Syrp Genie firmware 2.8.0 is here to download<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2484,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[19],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2483","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-standard"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2483","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2483"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2483\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2484"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2483"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2483"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.graemesimpsonphotography.co.uk\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2483"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
