Hi, The thing that I found annoying with the videos and photos transfers from the MA2 8 gig memory card, as well as the removable one, is the need to either, connect the MA2 to the computer via the USB cable or to remove the SD card. I wish that it could be done wirelessly. What do you think?

This sounds like a good idea in theory but in reality WiFi signal strength, reliability, and speed have no comparison to a direct connection between the drone and computer. If you filmed a 20min flight the file size could range from 16GB to 20GB depending on resolution settings. This would be a strain on standard WiFi and plus they would need to add this card to the bid somewhere.

I'm sure as we move forward with WiFi 6 coming online more companies will be taking advantage of WiFi connections.

It would use the home wifi network which can be extremely fast.

You already can,  I download the footage to my iPhone and then when I sit down at the computer the footage and images are all in the Photos app.  iCloud syncs everything between all the devices, even the TV.

Hi
Thanks for your reply, I don’t think they can be as I took the photos in the same flight session and I  checked that the default was the external sim before , but I will check the internal just to make sure and get back to you to let you know
Thanks

I guess if you want cool features you need to get a cool phone.
