Movie went to my Phone

[Dingdong]

After coming inside from a recorded flight, I noticed the footage I took was also on my phone. A few questions:

1. If it was on my phone, did it also go onto the drones hard drive? (I dont have a card)

2.When playing the footage on my phone I noticed it was very real and awesome. If I then transfer this footage onto my pc and edit it will it lose the quality from the phone?

Dingdong, suggest you find your manual online and have a read one night, just 'browse' it and see what's in there, you should remember parts and be able to go back and see more when situations like this come up.

Your 'save video to device cache' (or similar wording) is on by default.
It records a lower quality version of the video to the device, I suppose in case you lose your bird and want some sort of footage.
Yes the proper settings quality you've ticked is only on the microSD card.
Cache video looks ok on your phone screen size, but not desktop.

I have my device cache option turned off in settings.
Hard enough with storage as it is, and I see little need for it.

Recommend a dedicated SD card in your drone and save there. Here’s a link to the FULL DJI manual for your bird: must be one of these:

What he said! If your caching your vids to your phone, your using up its precious memory for nothing.
