Question About the Controller's Internal Storage

[frankbiganski]

Hello,

I want to upgrade to the pro controller but I'm wondering if the internal microSD card and/or the built-in 32 GB of memory will simultaneously backup the images taken during flight. Or if not simultaneously, is it possible to download the images from the drone to controller during flight.

It would be nice to have a backup of my photos and videos in the controller should I experience a flyaway or water crash the drone.

Also wondering what is the maximum capacity is for the external microSD card. I reviewed the manual per DJI support but the manual does not provide answers to these questions.

Cheers!

Frank

The images/video are only saved on the drone's SD card. I do not know of a way to "transfer" the files during flight.
The RC Pro does have a screen record feature but that records all the other data on screen and not just the camera view perspective.
As far as the max capacity for the external SD - there isn't one. The limit is whatever the SD card can hold; i've seen micros that hold 2TB. If/when buying one make sure it is rated properly for your application (speed, classification, etc.).

Thanks a lot for replying mneeze. Your insight is very helpful. I have the Mini 3 Pro and have been using the controller that came with my Mavic Air 2 so an upgrade will be extremely helpful (although will break the bank for a few months). Cheers!
