[@nobby-green]

Great stuff! 👍

[@MagicBiscuitShow]

Thanks for the info. Can you delete any/all flights info once it is up on AirData? I had not used AirData before. Recently sold my Phantom 4 Pro Plus v2.0 Falcon Edition and bought this list Mini 3 Pro ... so, I'm just now watching tutorials on everything. Bye the bye ... do you have the DJI Care Refresh on yours? I bought it as well. I'm assuming that I should "activate" and update my drone, controller and batteries before I activate the Care Refresh. Would you agree? Cheers, Chuck (Northeast Florida USA) : +)

[@nobby-green]

Hi Chuck. Yes you can delete the flights from Airdata. But you can’t delete them from the drone. Yes I do have the care refresh and activate once all is activated. Hope this helps 👍 thanks 🙏

[@denizsurmen9039]

Hello, thank you for information. I have a question, could we extract the log file in real-time? I mean not after the flight, but I want to reach them during the flight.

[@nobby-green]

I don’t think you can. As it’s recording them to file. 👍

[@AirDigitalDroneServices]

@Nobbygreen great video but your personal information, like your phone number, is not blurred, just a heads up in case you missed that, might want to blur that out.

[@nobby-green]

Thanks for the heads up but that’s not my number. It’s an example that they show you 👍

[@ScottKarlins-n9h]

Android File Transfer is no longer available. Also, with the mini 4 pro RC software updates this past couple of weeks, there is no longer a method to get to the Android folders it seems.

[@nobby-green]

It is still available but not from that link. If you type in Download after the transfer link it will direct you to softonic. you can get it there. Also ive just tried my RC2 and it works perfect. You can see all the Android folders.

[@dogzillamonster]

Is this data from the generated .SRV file? What I would love, is if AirData or someone else could derive from that data at what speed the focal point was moving at, for example a car or sailboat passing by. By the GPS, gimbal angle and altitude, it should surely be easy to derive this and other rich info?

[@nobby-green]

You can view the SRV info in VLC player if you have subtitles enabled.

[@dogzillamonster]

@@nobby-green The VLC player? Cool. Please remind me what that is?

[@mfthedronepoet9745]

Thanks for the video. Question - is it not the same as using DJI Assisant? It does the same job?

[@nobby-green]

Using the assistant is a longer way round. That’s more for updating firmwares etc. thanks 🙏

[@mfthedronepoet9745]

It has 3 functioms. 2 of them is down loading logs but I think your way may be much faster as the download from the RC to PC seems really slow @@nobby-green

[@skunkeyebandit]

Is there not an issue with airdata app on andriod at the moment, version 13 & 14

[@nobby-green]

I’m not sure tbh. Works fine if you use the pc 👍

[@Johncaig7279]

I have a number of questions to ask about Airdata. I intend to subscribe to the ‘lite’ version. Do I put this on my PC or iMac computer? I understand it can only be on two computers, but presumably can move the app from time to time. How does one’s drone determine the windspeed at any point on its path?

[@nobby-green]

I have it installed on my mac, but i would assume you can access it from any device if you sign in. As for the wind speed, you only get strong wind warnings from the controller via the drone. Hope this helps 👍

[@Johncaig7279]

@@nobby-green my understanding is that it will give precise windspeeds at various points on one’s course, if one subscribes to one of the paid versions. I currently ignore the strong wind warnings when flying my Mavic 3 pro, simply because I am always able to RTH automatically. In those circumstances. should I even wish. I really would like to know the precise windspeed can imagine how this airdata app can determine it.

[@LAP1050]

Hello Nobby, Lou From Miami here. Question; I need to send my flight data to Dji and will be using your instructions and my Windows PC. How do I select all the files and send them via email to the Dji Tech Support person that is working on my inquiry? Thank you Lou

[@nobby-green]

Hi Lou download them first to a folder or desktop then attach them to an email using the attachment tool Hope this helps 👍

Make sure you have good gps lock before flying. Check your satellites 👍

[@Ibelieve218]

But everything is on the cloud my controller said I can sync and use any device to retrieve using dji sign in but where is the link

[@nobby-green]

You need to sign in to Airdata and sync your files. You chose to sync under profile on the controller 👍

[@abedj1220]

I just read DJI is blocking the meta data from being uploaded to their servers based the government crackdown on DJI. is this the data that was being transferred to DJI if you opted in to sync the data?

[@nobby-green]

No the flight data is synced to AirData a third party app 👍

[@thegooserider7245]

Who would have thought to download another programme to extract flight logs. Absolutely bonkers

[@billmeador215]

Can the same method of copying fight records from iPhone be used? I fly Mavic Air 2 using RC-N1 and iPhone 11 Pro Max and would like to use this technique to get flight records to Airdata.

[@nobby-green]

There is an easier way just upload to Airdata via syncing with your dji Account. i covered this in another video.

[@billmeador215]

Thanks, I did see that...........but I prefer not to share my DJI login credentials with Airdata, and really only want to upload selected flights now and then. All good stuff, keep the videos coming!

[@nobby-green]

@@billmeador215 Airdata is very safe and is secure. you can however share with others. You can try and see if its possible. ive not tried it to be honest. im sure if you plug your iphone in you should be able to navigate to the folders.

[@billmeador215]

Did not find a way on PC, but with my Mac desktop I was able to open a Finder window and navigate to the Flight Records folder in DJI Fly allowing me to select the ones I want to upload. Thanks!

I use many drones, all DJI it all works the same. 👍

[@DavidinEssexUK]

I just have airdata sync them from DJI automatically. No cables required.

[@nobby-green]

Indeed David, as i showed in the video. Not everyone likes to upload all their data i guess.

[@DavidinEssexUK]

@@nobby-green flight logs are encrypted so you can only use a DJI partner to process them via uploading them to a DJI partner. If you don’t want to upload them you can delete them before syncing the controller.

[@nobby-green]

@@DavidinEssexUK yes David. i think its a great way personally

[@ia6980]

where can i find "flight records" once ive connected to rc controller? i cannot find folder "flight records"

[@nobby-green]

They should pop up in the folder as shown in the video

[@tdgib]

No other way than one at a time? I connected RC to my Mac after installed “Android to Mac” app. (I tried clicking on “folder+” icon top right)thinking all would be transferred to a folder. That doesn’t seem to work. “Reconnect device” message. Retried and tried, Ultimately didn’t work for me. I do have “saved to the cloud” on my RC on. Isn’t that considered satisfactory in documentation and compliance to saving keeping logs? I can see them all can replay on all my devices I have the fly app installed. Twice my RC has “storage full ”message so I’ve cleared “cache”. Are they still being saved and stored in “the cloud” ? But not really sure what or how access, or work that. I do have “auto sync to cloud” on RC. Thank you. Ted in Ohio.

[@nobby-green]

You can select all by click shifting in the folder and highlighting them all. Not sure why you rc is saying storage full unless you are saving to internal storage. Try moving it to sd card instead. Hope this helps 👍 thanks 🙏

[@tdgib]

Thank you Sir very much for your time. I appreciate it. Not sure I follow how to unless all step by steps demonstration and seen.

@@nobby-green Thank you again I appreciate your help, I have enjoyed watching your informative Videos. How do I transfer flight records on my RC fly app, to my RC micro SD card (I do have) thank you in advance. This maybe easier for older 60+ guy like me. Thanks again. Ted.

I have the DJI RC2 controller and a DJI Mini 4 Pro. I don't have an sdcard in the RC2 (just using internal shared storage) Controller shows up as a drive called "KATMAI IDP SN:########" (where ######## is an 8 digit hexadeciman number) Click on internal storage, and I have the usual Android folders ... Alarms, Android, Audiobooks, DCIM, Documents, Download, Dpad... etc No sign of any flight records anywhere. Most of the folders are empty or just have the basic config files. Am I just being an idiot... or am I being cursed by a witch or warlock ? LOL Seriously, anyone out there that knows what's going on with this RC2?

[@nobby-green]

Hey Warlock 😉 no not at all. If you plug your controller into a pc or Mac the flight data should appear on screen. Another way is to sync your files to AirData and view/download from there. Hope this helps 👍
