New MA2 user in Japan here. Same issue. Tried connecting my MA2 direct to my MacBookPro13,1 (13-inch, Late 2016, Two Thunderbolt 3 ports, macOS Catalina 10.15.6) to download from the 8GB onboard storage. Nothing. The MA2 did not come up in Finder or in Terminal. I used the Mavic supplied USB-C/USB-C cable, then the MacBook cable, then the cable connecting my USB-C external drive. Them's all DATA cables with USB-C both ends. Nothing. Nada.Luckily I had an older MacBookAir5,2 (13-inch, Mid 2012) running macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) in a drawer. Used the USB-A/USB-C cable that came with my Fly More Combo kit. Boom! MA2 onboard 8GB visible as "Untitled" device in Finder. 7.4GB footage downloaded directly to the 'vintage' laptop in 3 minutes.
The problem is not the USB-C cables.
The problem is the USB-C implementation in the Mavic Air 2.
Disappointed.
2016 onward MBP's are H.265 codec and USB-C only.
Pre-2016 Macbooks are H.264 only.
MA2 boasts H.265 as a selling point. How come I gotta dig out an 8 year old laptop with a legacy OS to get my files outta my latest-and-greatest consumer drone?
Huh?
Please fix it, DJI.
