Forget about that, you can just use a phone filebrowser on your mac, like Phoneview (ecamm), and transfer the sourcefiles from your phone to your mac all at once. Works for me and you skip the process of saving stuff to your camera roll and having to use the terrible DJI go app and iTunes. The original sourcfiles are located in "DJI GO\videoCache\"
To clarify Tim's answer... you can use iTunes connected to your iPhone, for example, to transfer the files directly to your computer.
Launch iTunes, connect and unlock your phone. Click on your phone icon in iTunes.
Go to Apps (left hand column).
Scroll down to reveal the File Sharing section.
Click on the DJI GO app. You will see files and folders on the right.
Drag and drop the hg300 storage or the videoCache folders from iTunes onto your Desktop (or wherever).
It appears that the hg300 storage has duplicates of the videoCache videos. They are both h.264 movies. The hg300 videos are wrapped in a QuickTime container. I'm going to assume that on the phone, this is a QuickTime wrapper that "links" to the original MP4 file in the videoCache, so there is no duplicate media on the phone. Probably needed for compatibility with the phone. This is pure speculation on my part. Once you copy them off the phone, they become duplicate files.
You will need to copy the videoCache if you want the original videos, and the hg300 storage for the still photos. deleting the duplicate videos. That said, the MOVs should be the exact same video as the MP4s... so, it doesn't really matter which one you keep.
The filenames in the videoCache are date and time stamps. The filenames in the hg300 folder are a random
collection of hexadecimal characters. I prefer the date and time stamps myself.
What a ridiculous and convoluted process! It should not be this difficult to access the original media!
