I enjoy the controller for the mini 3 pro... but I liked getting pics on my phone easy as part of my work flow... Any way I can do the same from the controller without having to pull a sim?
 
Have the fly app on phone and it'll detect it on startup and show quick transfer mode without having to pair.
I really wish DJI would release Quick Transfer for the RC or is it just too dumb to incorporate this?
Edit; I guess the dumbed down version of android on the RC can't compute quick transfer mode.

You are using the controller with the built-in screen, right?
yep, the in screen one that comes with it. Goal is getting pics to my phone as part of my workflow without having to pull a SD card.

You don’t need the new controller, with drone switched on, open fly app on phone and place phone near drone then follow instructions on fly app, but as far as I am aware they are only low res images, to download full size you need to connect to computer, cheers Len

so if i download photos in the fly app (like go through and tell it to download) I believe they are the full image. Been doing it with my air 2 for years.
 
@VenomXts Have you got a hold of the PDF manual for the Mini3? This is all detailed there, so download a copy and give it a skim thru if you haven't already. It sounds dull, but so is having a broken drone to look and rather than fly.

I really don't mean to sound like I'm preaching "read the manual" so, apologies, because that's probably what I'm sounding like😒. However, there are a few bits of info that are well worth knowing in there. There are some interesting new details on the RTH routine too that are well worth reading up on. :)

If you do what I suggest, you then get all the images on your phone, click on first one, bottom right corner a download icon, click that and the full res gets into your phone, and then you have to repeat this action on all other images, have not yet found a way to download all at once, hope that helps cheers Len

I haven't but i should and will, been flying dji for so long that i skipped this step but sounds like it would be a good idea.

I've not actually got my Mini 3 in my hands yet (it's delivered but I'm away) so I downloaded the manual, not expecting to learn much. However, I found there were actually a few unexpected things worth knowing about RTH, file transfers, active track, obstacle avoidance etc.

I’m just going to say that for whatever reason, I often have to put my iPhone 13 Pro in airplane mode in order to get successfully connected to the bird. It’s weird but seems to work for me…
