OK but what about screen recording directly recorded on the SD card inserted in the RC2 ? That's THE main use of the RC. Why should I have to copy internal recording to the SD and then to the Mac or PC ? That's one step more ! waste of time ! That's crazy.I can then better connect through USB C and download directly to the PC. DJI seems to have - at least for now - kill the use of SD card in RC. Hope there will be a firmware update that will correct that bug. If it was to be a hardware mistake, that would be another matter. DJI is so fast in bringing out new models that they make a lot of mistakes. They sell us dreams. Btw, I never experienced any problem recording on the SD in RC1 of M3P. Why is it so fishy different with our M4P ?

@readysetdroneАй бұрын
I'm not sure that I understand what you mean. Possibly, you're asking how to get audio with the video that the drone camera sees (without the RC 2's user interface). If that's the case, there's no way to do it easily. You'll have to record on the drone, record in the RC 2 with a mic plugged into the RC, then manually use the audio from the screen recording and add it to the drone recording. Hopefully that makes sense.

Android File Transfer for Mac doesn't seem to recognise the RC 2 any more. I have to use the RC 2 copy to SD card function, then transfer to Mac using a card reader - sheeeeesh! Pity DJI don't fix this, as it's clearly a buggy implementation of the android OS on the RC 2.
@readysetdroneАй бұрын
So, I've had this problem as well, recently. A workaround that I've had success with is this. Go to your Mac's System Settings > General > Login Items. Click on each item and then click the minus. Once those are so gone, in the list below, disable all apps in the background. Then restart your Mac. This worked for me... Is a bit annoying, but I wanted to let you know that it's an option.

The actual footage is still stored on the micro SD card in the drone, so a lot of people who don't need to screen record probably won't worry about all this hassle. To preview footage taken on the drone (while still connected) you can still tap on the media icon within the fly app (just below the record button). It's still disconcerting that DJI doesn't make all aspects of their software user friendly.

@readysetdrone5 ай бұрын
Oh I believe I understand your goal. If you're hoping to have your commentary over your flight footage, you could try two methods. 1. Screen record your RC Pro (note that this video is about the RC 2, so your controller will be less of a hassle when it comes to finding and transferring footage). Then you can copy the screen recording to an SD card, plug in the SD card to your phone via an adapter, and being that video into your phone's editing software to line up with the high quality drone recording. Finally, you could hide the screen recorded video (while keeping the audio audible) so that you'll only see the high quality drone video in your final export. 2. Another option is to forget screen recording on your RC Pro and just use your phone as a voice recording device in your front shirt pocket. Then when you record on your drone, be sure to film yourself doing a couple of claps on camera. That way once you bring the audio from your phone and the video from the drone into CapCut or your preferred software, you'll be able to visually line up your voice over. Neither solution is elegant, but that's all I can think of.
