Hi I understand the difference, however does it make a difference which one you choose if editing the DJI go app, ie. if I'm flying and DJIgo app is on an apple device, do I need to shoot in MOV...?

Hi, thanks for the inquiry. The DJI Go 4 app would allow editing the videos that were captured from the drone regardless of the video format. However, it is recommended to choose the preferred video format for editing purposes when using the SD card and different platforms. Thank you for continued support.

MOV for editing with Mac
MP4 for editing with Windows
