Note: Am only suggesting this due to my lack of knowledge... Here goes: I bought an older iPhone and use it exclusively with my MM ..and lovin it. Now for the question: A good friend wants that I check out his rain gutters for possible clogging or potential problems high up. (I do this myself with my own guttering. Example below) The thing is.. *I want him to have HIS photo on HIS iPhone. So.. Might I have him download the DJI app to his iPhone, plug his iPhone into the controller, go up, take the photo and ...it's on HIS iPhone... not mine*. (Don't know how to transfer files). I accept that it could possibly be a security issue (?) Has anyone done this 'switch phones' manouver?
(Gutter/trough) inspections etc: Is the *idea* possibly a security question for owners?

@Bill_H the easiest way to do it is to just add the pic to an Email and send it to him
Haha. That worked. Flight happened and the files weren't THAT large. He put me onto his wifi and the rest was easy-peasy of course. Not sure I wanted to test DJI's security out anyway ie with my Mini showing up on my pal's iPhone.. Not sure that would 'fly' anyway... so-to-speak
What you mentioned is unnecessarily complicated but there are no "security" implications.
The same drone can be used with different phones or tablets.
You can buy a used drone and fly it with your phone without any complications.
Thanks. It's all a part of my 'learn' curve and I appreciate your inputting information.
You might find these two apps useful if emailing photos and videos. They reduce the file sizes without hugely affecting resolution. Free versions and not expensive to upgrade; very easy to use on an iphone.

Enjoy your flying and thanks for posting. For safety over water, that kit looks excellent, even just as a recovery aid. I use my Air 2 regularly for gutter checks, too. And the digital zoom made roof inspections a whole lot safer, as well. ??
I don't know iPhones but they generally have the same functionality as android phones, possibly with a different name. I've used something called Quick Share, which is common to at least Samsung devices if not all android devices, to share images and videos between my phone and my tablet. It's just connecting them via wi-fi.

The easiest way to go from one iOS device to another (or to a desktop Mac) is to use AirDrop. It uses Bluetooth to find other devices near you and WiFi to transfer the file. Much easier and faster than emailing, and probably more secure because your email isn’t sitting on a server somewhere. While looking at the file (or group of files ) you want to send, tap the share icon (a square with an up-arrow on top), then select the recipient, and that’s it. Recipient usually has to accept transfer.
Nice to have 'leaves' ... I've got these heavier cedar bits and they're wet as well.
