    After a flight do you format SD (after saving media)

    No such thing as a GO 4 format. DJI uses Fat32 or EX-Fat like all the rest depending on size. Looking at my status in Windows it certainly looks like its writing to same area after a format but like someone said it will take 100K writes or whatever. Best solution for everyone is do what you...

    DJI Fly will drain ipad battery

    [ Connect Aircraft ] screen I think. Didn't open the Fly just shut it down when I saw it was open and battery drained. Don't have sync flight data turned on. In privacy do you have the top 4 things turned on?
