You pictures and videos are only saved to the SD card in your drone!
You need to transfer the recorded footage to your phone after your flights from within the app while the drone is turned on and connected, if you want it directly on your phone.
Hi all,
I got a Mavic Mini since 5-6 wks now and experienced the same issue about not seeing photos previews in the DJI Fly app.
As Denny-R mentioned, it takes downloading the bulk files from the drone to your smartphone (unless your target is a PC where you have a photo/video post-processing SW).
Anyway, beyond Denny-R's very crisp steps, I wanted to share I used a 3rd method to download from the drone. That is connect it as a USB mass storage to the smartphone (or PC either).
In the former case you'll need a microUSB to whatever USB your smartphone supports (mine has a USB-C).
As we all have microUSB to USB-A cables handy, my advise is then to get a USB-A to USB-C (my case) dongle. Some mid-range smartphone already come with it in the package, otherwise that's a couple od bucks on amazon/e-Bay.
You just need to tell the smartphone to allow file transfer from that USB mass storage (i.e. your powered on drone) rather than using that connection for power transfer.
I copied from the SDcard in the drone from ../DCIM/100MEDIA to smartphone's ../DJI/dji.go.v5/DJI FLY:
- .JPG files to sub-folder Photo with sustained rate of about 48 Mb/s and peaks of 98 Mb/s
- .MP4 files to sub-folder video with sustained rate of 17 Mb/s.
At that point, launching DJI FLY w/out the drone, all those raw files where available for post-production via Create. That worked like a charm !!
I also applied Denny-R suggested method of taking the SDcard out of the drone and using whatever adaptation dongle, popping it up as a mass storage in the smartphone.
I copied .JPG and .MP4 files to the same target folders as above but in this case the transfer speed for both was in the range of 17Mb/s.
Note: transfer speeds may depend on the smartphone and, more likely on the circuitry of the dongles used.
I could not readily explain why with the drone-to-smartphone direct transfer method .JPEG and .MP4 speeds were different.
Honestly, I don't plan to invest time on this because as a newbie with drones I'm eager of spending time in learning more and more.
So thanks to you all for the precious info and hints in this Forum.
Hope this post is of any help.
Cheers
Mauro Tilocca
P.S.: @Denny-R is there a way to change my alias from djuser_something? Thx
