After you successfully connect your drone with the remote controller, you will see the following screen on your mobile device.
2. Tap on ‘Album’ at the bottom-left corner to access all your videos and photos
3. Choose the files you want to download
Select the footage or photos you want to download and tap on the ‘Download’ icon. The downloading will start automatically. You can choose one by one or select multi-files.
Tips:
- Don’t quit the DJI Fly app
- It’s better to do this right after you finish flying, or you will need to power on the drone, mount your mobile device and connect the remote controller all over again
- Make sure your drone, remote controller, and mobile device have enough power.
If you only have a few files and want to edit with the DJI Fly app, this is probably the easiest way to do.

Your drone will also heat up during the process because it sits idle and there is no airflow!
