After returning home from a wonderful holiday in Sweden last night I moved all my images from the various devices to my laptop to back them up.
In total 6464 files and 182 Gb of data....

I will need a year to process them I guess.
- Iphone : 80 files (video) 7,96 Gb (Movie Pro, Filmic Pro, DJI Go and the native camera app)
- Mavic Pro : 448 video files (88,9 Gb) + 2382 pictures (12,7 Gb) + 1535 sphere pictures (7,76 Gb)
- Nikon D610 : 670 video files (24,2 Gb) + 923 pictures (8,26 Gb)
- Olypus Tough : 170 video files (6,05 Gb) 67 pictures (230 Mb)
- Panasonic video camera : 189 video's (25,8 Gb)

What I have learned from this holiday :
- It is hard to use more than 1 device at once  when filming trains
- I seldom used my Osmo Mobile, but found myself grabbing the D610 most of the time, since that takes the best pictures also.
- The Osmo Mobile hard case is way to big for it's purpose, so I left it home.
- The Mavic Pro is almost only used in the evening when the kids were asleep
- The Mavic Pro is producing A LOT of data (because you take longer shots since you never know how the world looks a few meters up)....
- I need more Micro SD cards (or change my way of shooting)
- Iphone is a pain in the ... to edit in Vegas Pro. After you added more than a dozen iPhone files to your timeline they get blacked out and you can't render them (something with a lot of quicktime sessions needed) so I need to render them to Mp4 first.
- Sweden is the perfect country for flying drones. So much to see in the landscape when you are at 120m!

In the next ?? months I will edit the footage and share it when it is ready!

Thanks DJI for making these wonderful products!

Me neither
I usually only check a small portion of my files to check for mistakes.
So I don't know how most of them look!

Yes indeed that should not be a problem.

Welcome back, hope you had a great time, bringing a portable hard drive will help also saves on continually buying SD cards.
Also while we think we need every piece of equipment with us when we travel, it’s amazing what we can achieve by leaving stuff at home, also forces us to get the most out of what we bring , be less dependent on the equipment and a better chance to develop our skills, they do say best camera is one you have with you.
Good luck sorting through all the footage, For photos LR has some good features for sorting the good from the bad.

Yes, Sweden has been great!
(as always actually)

You are right, I am considering my options.
So far the first victim might be the Osmo Mobile.
Although it was a nice tool for making motion timelapses, I had to force myself taking it with me on a couple of occasions and it felt too clumsy for when we were walking. Plus I missed my DSLR for taking pictures.  
But the other camera's were used all of them.
- iPhone (it is not a camera strictly speaking) was used for true snapshots and windscreen timelapses.  And of course it is used for on the Osmo Mobile.
- The DSLR is used almost in every occasion.
- The Panasonic videocamera is my 'travel camera' (when we are moving from place to place) + for filming trains.
- The Olympus is for on the beach / underwater shots.
- And of course the MP has it's own use.
But I rarely take more than 1 camera with me (except when filming trains) but I use all of them.

Not sure about the Osmo Mobile yet. Since it is so small and I love the motion timelapses.

Oh and yes : I do have an external HD, but like to keep the original files on the SD until I get back.
You never know what happens with the HD
But maybe that won't work with the MP and I better buy a second HD

Or like after space probe flies pass extraterrestrial body, the scientist spend years processing the data, never processing all of data, data becomes lost in government warehouse, and decades later data is found, but nobody knows data format, and equipment needed to read storage medium of data no longer exists.

Well not quite:  You can read real story here: The lost NASA tapes: Restoring lunar images after 40 years in the vault

That's a lot of GBs. I'm glad you posted this because it reminds me to take a portable TB harddrive on a trip to California we're taking next week. The Mavic Air seems like it eats storage like a fat kid eating cheetos.

Hahahahaha.
Me too.
It will take (a lot of) time, since I need permission to share the footage from the Swedish government.
(seriously, you need that when you share drone footage from Sweden).

Yes, I do need to change my shooting habits.
And to make matters worse, most pictures are AEB pano's. So a lot lot lot  of data and editing to do.
And finally I need permission to share them from the Swedish government.
They will send a permit by real mail....
For every application....
It is 2018 you know

You're welcome.
I was unprepared for this amount of footage.
Never make that much in one holiday.
Mavic Pro makes me shoot differently from how I am used to.
(press rec and see whatever comes into the frame)
I guess that is just the way it goes when the camera moves and you don't know what is behind the corner.

Nope.
It is just the law.
Every piece of public ground that you shoot from the sky needs permission before you can publish it.
Sounds stupid.
I believe it is.
But hey: that is just the law.
I even broke it a couple of times when I posted some previews here.
But I will apply for permission for all the pictures yes
They will have a lot of work from this Dutch guy.....
