Get photos and videos from DJI drone

There are two ways to get photos and videos from DJI drone. The first is to remove the microSD card from DJI drone body and read it to a PC or other device via an SD card reader. The other is to use the DJI Fly app to download them out of DJI drone to your smartphone via Wi-Fi. From the point of speed, it is the fastest to read directly from the microSD card, but with DJI Fly app, you can not only download them out, but also cuts, merges, image quality adjustments, adding BGM, titles and subtitles, and upload them directly to SNS.

  • When deleting from the album screen, only the thumbnail of the album screen is deleted, regardless of whether the drone is connected or not. The files on the SD card attached to the drone will not be deleted.
  • When deleting from the playback screen, the files on the SD card attached to the drone are also deleted. However, thumbnails remain on the album screen. Attempting to download it will result in an error because it has already been deleted from the SD card.
  • After directly deleting files from the SD card, return the SD card to the drone, launch the DJI Fly app and connect the drone, the thumbnail is deleted from the playback screen, but the thumbnail screen remains on the album screen .
From the above, in order to completely delete photos and videos, it is necessary to delete them from the playback screen or SD card and then from the album screen.
