If you want to transfer quickly, you don't have to buy card readers to do it. You can also just plug a USB cable directly into the port on the side opposite the SD Card port on the MA2. I use this method when I forget to put the SD Card back into the drone and have to record videos onto the drone's internal storage. It's just as quick as the card reader method.
Thank you so much. I’ve been banging my head for 6 months trying to successfully transfer my files from my Avata to my iPad, so that I can edit in DJI fly. You’ve definitely saved my sanity, and probably my marriage as well 😜. Very much obliged for you help!
Dude you are simply the best channel on the tubes for how too videos. Thx for the hundredth time. Lol. Thx buddy. I always save these for a refresher later on. Lol. Hey I'm old... Mikey
I like using a computer to edit much better. On the other side of the drone from the slot for the SD card is another slot for a USB C connector. I use the short charging cable that comes with the drone and plug the C connector into the drone and the USB connector into the slot of my computer. I usually "cut" the video or pictures I took and "paste" them into a folder on my computer. That way my SD card is relatively empty and always ready for more.
Big thumbs up for the Simplicity of this video...... VERY well done, WELL-SPOKEN, CLEAR-CUT, and to the POINT! THANK YOU so much for that... Yahoooooooooooo..🤙🤘🤘🥳🥳 Mikey
Also... cache file size (format) is determined by whether you choose "HD or Smooth" in transmission settings. HD will produce 1080/30p files and Smooth will produce 720/30p files. Switching from HD to Smooth is supposed to produce either a 1080/30p or 720/60p display image but visual results have been negligible.
I assume that the card adapter will do the same job on a PC reader as on the ipad, with similar time savings. Can an external AC power source (i.e. the charger) be plugged into the Air 2 drone to save battery use during downloads of the stored data?
What phone are you using for your Iphone? I have an otterbox defender case and I had issues plugging in the dji cable because the case is too bulky so I had to buy another so I can use my phone with the case
Got my new card reader in the mail today. Quickly grabbed it out of the mailbox, threw my drone up in the air and excitedly went inside after a few minutes of filming to transfer the files only to be quickly disappointed that I didn’t read the Amazon listing at all and trusted your link to be accurate 😞 the lightning adapter currently linked for the US is not a card reader, rather a lightning to USB 3 camera adapter. My mistake for not reading the Amazon listing, but looks like I will be returning.
Nice informative Vid..... It's always nice when your doing some research and find what your looking for, and explained easily and not complicated... Thank You I gave it a LIKE...
Thanks for the video. I had a query. When I connect directly to my computer I can download the original video but cant seem to find the automated videos created by DJI for Quickshots.
great video ....question ..how do i save the cache files to my phone as it says i have no space ,but i put 128gb card in it but it still says no space my 32gb space in my phone is full thats why i then put 128 gb card into it ???? thanks ,
So many extra dongles and gadgets to transfer with Apple. It's nice being able to direct connect my drone right to my phone because I'm Android and I already have USB C.
Hey great video I'll have to get the sd card adapter. I have a question though on my air 2s. On the DJI fly app if you go to album (bottom left corner on home screen), look at the top of the screen it says 'dji air 2s' & 'app album' , what is the difference? The same video is saved in both categories and I have mine set to save to SD card but why does it save to both? Thanks
My first drone flight, I did not have an sd card. Now that i do, can i download what was on the drones memory to the card? Does it do that automatically when I install the card, or do I have to do this? And if I do. How do I do that? Thanks! Great video, as usual.
If you don’t have a memory card and well recording or flying, it’ll just save it as a low resolution file in the app. Unfortunately, there’s no way to create the HD file afterwards.
@@AirPhotography Ok, thanks. I just found a cable that connects the drone to my Imac so im going to at least try to download it. Thanks again for your response. Love your channel. Scott.
Thanks for this. I got the adapter, removed the SD card from my drone and plugged it into the adapter and then into my iPhone. I can find the files and when I hit browse, it comes up - but when I click on the DCIM it says no files. If I put the same SD card directly into my computer, it shows the 2 videos I have saved on it. Any thoughts? Thanks!
By chance does the Maverick air 2 pick up sound when recording or are you issuing something separate to Record your voice with?! just because when I start filming my flights what I should use for sound to record my voice with !!
DRONES DON'T record sound. All you would here would be the buzz of the props.... There are phone apps for that. late model Iphones have a builting screen/ voice recorder you can use.
Hi thanks for shared the information. I got the card reader and it’s work fine with my ( IPad Pro 13.6.1 )before the new DJI new firmware update . Don’t know why it can’t download anymore a. After download it show a ( ! ) on the icon . I do exactly to my (IPhone 8plus 13.6.1)and it worked perfectly . Do you have any ideas what what is happening? Thanks
I got a iPad mini5 do you recommend using iPad Pro for editing photos it’s it better if you want better photos editing experience or it’s ok on the mini?
My first mavic air 2 would fail to read the sd card often and did not cache to my iphone x. They replaced the mavic air 2 and it reads the sd card fine but i still get no cached video or photos on my iphone even after resetting the phone and downloading the fly app again. Should it cache to the phone and show up in the fly app? It dont on mine even on the second mavic air 2. It is set to cache to phone and I have tried auto and other settings but still does not cache photos or video. I like having the cached video in case of a crash or if I just want to view the video on my phone. I know my mavic pro cached to my phone no problem. Thanks for any help
Like you I use my iPad Pro for everything 😊 For an alternative to the Apple Card reader for the iPad Pro - I have been using the Sandisk Extreme pro UHS-II USB-C Reader without any issues.
How do I transfer over my master shots on my air 2s it lets me transfer all the videos but it will not let me transfer the master shot or I do not know where to find it I did the same thing I plugged it in with a lightning transfer cable into my S21 Ultra
If i got a external hard drive with a built in card reader. Would I need a program to transfer the hd video off the card or just click and drag more so
Really looking to get an iPad to make quick edits of my drone footage when I’m traveling. Do you think 256gb is enough for a trip to edit a mixture of drone and GoPro footage on lumafusion?
Any tips for importing to the IPad when you get the red exclamation point? Some of my videos import and some don’t. I’m using a 2018 iPad Pro. Read it might be the file name or hevc format. Any ideas are appreciated!! Great content
Hi, is it possible to use the usb c port on the side of the magic air 2 to transfer to my iPad , or do I need to use a card reader? If not then what is the usb c port for??? I have been trying with a usb c cable directly to my iPad but my iPad isn’t picking anything up. Thanks for any help!!!
Well better quality than the cached footage that is stored on the phone. But whether you transfer the HD originals to your phone via The fly app or via card reader the quality would be the same
Great video! Quick question, can you use Final Cut X on your iPad Pro? I am a beginner researching whether to get an iPad Pro or 16" MacBook Pro, for 4K drone videos, camera pics, for TH-cam blogs. Thanks.
I just got my Air 2 and did not set anything up as far as storage or anything and yet it seems to have sent video footage to my PHOTOS app on my iphone. I was shocked to see video from the drone there! Hell, I don't even remember ever intentionally hitting the record button because I am waiting for DJI to sent me a recommended memory card
So is it better to do this rather than move to your Mac and then send it over? Ive been having some bad quality after sending footage over. It looks great on my phone or whatever device but afterwards ends up looking like worse quality
There’s a simple app on the iPhone cold sound recorder It works fairly well. Or you can do a screen capture and make sure you have the microphone enabled and that will record your voice and any ambient sounds as well. Then when you go to edit you place the main video track and then either the sound recording or the screen capture recording in the audio track in your editor
Your videos help me so much. I am ordering a Mavic Air 2 today. The SD card that I am using in my Mavic Air is a SanDisk 64gb Extreme A1. It has worked great in my Mavic Air. Do you think it will with the Air 2 or am I going to have to buy a new SD card? Thanks for your help.
Way to long until talking about the subject and I was looking at this because I could not find my reader,- ended up plugging the drone directly to the computer via usb c and have it transfered directly to the computer,- not mentioned in this video...
It is a quick way to transfer but it does need the drone to be turned on to work. Thereby using battery. Not a big deal if you are transferring at home.
If you want to transfer quickly, you don't have to buy card readers to do it. You can also just plug a USB cable directly into the port on the side opposite the SD Card port on the MA2. I use this method when I forget to put the SD Card back into the drone and have to record videos onto the drone's internal storage. It's just as quick as the card reader method.
I hit the jackpot on transferring data from the micro SD card in the Drone back to the PC when I discovered the high speed cards.
Thank you so much. I’ve been banging my head for 6 months trying to successfully transfer my files from my Avata to my iPad, so that I can edit in DJI fly. You’ve definitely saved my sanity, and probably my marriage as well 😜. Very much obliged for you help!

I plug in the cable to USB C connector and the other end into my PC and nothing happens. Am I missing a step?
@@andrewsalas1154 You need to power on your drone for the computer to recognize the card or memory in the drone. If you use the direct method.
Big thumbs up for the Simplicity of this video...... VERY well done, WELL-SPOKEN, CLEAR-CUT, and to the POINT! THANK YOU so much for that... Yahoooooooooooo..🤙🤘🤘🥳🥳

very helpful, as I capture a fair amount of drone footage for my "Golf & Tesla" channel
Great video! very helpful.
Thank you
Can I save my Video Cache on my SD card. Thank you so much for your very well explained tutorial.
Also... cache file size (format) is determined by whether you choose "HD or Smooth" in transmission settings. HD will produce 1080/30p files and Smooth will produce 720/30p files.

Great video. What program do you use for editing on your iPad? Thanks in advance.
Superb
Excellent. Everything I was wanting to know about SD, Internal Storage, Transfers and more....THANK YOU !
I agree with Robert, great tutorial, thank you.
Q: what if one wants to transfer the 4k master INTO the DJI fly app for editing?
Awesome! Just learning about my Air 2S, thanks!
Thanks 👍
Thank you
You reaally helped me to decide getting a mavic air mini for my apple devices! Nice job explaining, so easy to absorb the information. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Great video I'll be buying the dji mini 2...and was wondering all about this....THANK YOU!
This gave me a real headache with the Evo 1 until I found out about the card reader 👍
Got rid of my evo for that reason
I bought a memory card reader for $16 it worked great!
I assume that the card adapter will do the same job on a PC reader as on the ipad, with similar time savings. Can an external AC power source (i.e. the charger) be plugged into the Air 2 drone to save battery use during downloads of the stored data?
What phone are you using for your Iphone? I have an otterbox defender case and I had issues plugging in the dji cable because the case is too bulky so I had to buy another so I can use my phone with the case
Awesome Sir. Just what I was looking for. TQ
Great video very informative
Hi Good vid but did I miss the quick transfer of RAW files drone>PC?
can you transfer directly to a pc from the SD card in the drone with a cable or do you need a card reader?
You can use a cable to transfer directly .
I’m sure happy they went to USB-C in the iPad Pro and opened up the files app.
Thanks!
Have a great day and be safe out there!

Thanks, I’m new to the DJI Drones and GoPro cams. This was very helpful instruction to quickly down load the SD card data.
Thanks for the video. I had a query. When I connect directly to my computer I can download the original video but cant seem to find the automated videos created by DJI for Quickshots.

Hello I'm about to get the air 2s is the same system of downloading can I put directly into my Android phone by just connecting type c to type c
Super helpful. Thanks a lot.
Dude! You always have the best topics! 👍
Brilliant footage my friend great talk
Thanks for this!! Is this the same process as with the RC Pro controller??
Unfortunately you can’t transfer directly from the RC pro at Sophyette it’s not supported
Once video's are copied to the iPad, how do you open them with the DJI FLY App? I want to edit them using the DJI app. Thanks!
Which option good for file transfer
Memory card to PC /type C cable to PC
So many extra dongles and gadgets to transfer with Apple. It's nice being able to direct connect my drone right to my phone because I'm Android and I already have USB C.
All the newer iPhones come with a lightning to usb C cable so you can do it with them two,
As a newbie to this drone & footage world this was very helpful thanks..
So when I use my car reader connected to my phone and transfer it that way, it’ll transfer from the card in 4K automatically?
Great video 👍

How do I transfer over my master shots on my air 2s it lets me transfer all the videos but it will not let me transfer the master shot or I do not know where to find it I did the same thing I plugged it in with a lightning transfer cable into my S21 Ultra

If i got a external hard drive with a built in card reader. Would I need a program to transfer the hd video off the card or just click and drag more so
FYI, the point of the video starts at 4:03. You’re welcome everyone.
Very helpful cheers!!
I need to know when trying to download from the cache video why it doesn't play this is happening with the air2s

Are there other data backup options in the field? Can you write to a thumb drive or powered SSD? Thanks for the vids
the 5 mb/s is acceptable, however, it is rare i get that, typically I get 800-900 kbps as of late, and thats with a brand new phone too.
Does transferring with sd card make the quality better??
Well better quality than the cached footage that is stored on the phone. But whether you transfer the HD originals to your phone via The fly app or via card reader the quality would be the same
Quick question. When you transfer files from SD card to computer. Will it be the cache version or the proper version?
It will be the proper HD 4K version
Can you transfer the videos from the sd card to the phone without the adapter??
I want to edit my video can you recommended any app
Great video! Quick question, can you use Final Cut X on your iPad Pro? I am a beginner researching whether to get an iPad Pro or 16" MacBook Pro, for 4K drone videos, camera pics, for TH-cam blogs. Thanks.
No it is not available for iPad as of yet, perhaps down the road they will make a mobile version

Can you tell me how to get voice or sounds when flying MA2 on a iPhone? Can’t see anything on app
You have to use another device to record the audio. You can even use your smart phone and then overlay it when you’re editing the video
I’ve looked on my iPhone but can’t see anything. Thanks for replying.
There’s a simple app on the iPhone cold sound recorder It works fairly well.

It'll work on the mavic air 2 aswell trust me
It'll be work fine
So I downloaded the files on to my phone. It said complete, Yet I can't find them on my phone memory?
Is it possible to leave the card in the drone and use a wired connection between the tablet and the drone to transfer files ?
Yes, the usb C port is on the side of the drone, under a rubber cover. And don't forget to power on the drone to transfer files.
