Smart controller transfer to macbook pro

[txcheffy]

I get an error message saying files are not compatible. Any help?

**Following**I too am interested in knowing how to effectively connect the Smart Controller to my Mac - that's my primary source to edit the content.

Ya im on with DJI now and they didnt really plan for this
will post work around when i find it. Unless someone else has the skills

 

[txcheffy]

They have no clue but will email me tomorrow.. first they have heard of the issue

You'd think it would just be a plug n play setup where it recognizes the device as a storage drive and the memory stick (if inserted). It's 2019 people.... come on! - It would be better if they just updated the DJI Assistant App to allow photo/video viewing and transfer options. That would make too much sense....

 

[txcheffy]

You would think, but they are stumped as to why it doesnt work

 

[ChuckNorrisUSAF]

Probably the latest OS X update(s) didn't help either

You might need this: Android File Transfer

MacOS STILL doesn't support MTP natively. It's only been around for a decade or so...

But what do you want to transfer in the first place?

I'm not answering for OP, just me - pictures, and videos - if its saved internally on the device itself - I will try out the link you sent and see how it works - thanks for the information

Pictures and videos you want to get straight from the aircraft's card and/or internal storage. The controller only holds low resolution previews.

Use the Android File Transfer application that was posted above by Kilrah. When you start up your Smart Controller and it shows the USE USB to screen, select the "Transfer Files" option (middle one). When you select it, the controllers folder scheme will pop up and allow you direct access to all the folders to pull any screen shots, videos, etc, that are saved in the controller.

I just tested it out and it worked perfectly

Stupid question....do you load it on the MacBook... not on smart controller? Will it work on the iPad?

Not a stupid question. Load it on Mac (desktop or laptop). Works great. There may be a an app or some way to work it with an iPad but I’m not aware of it. You’ll have to dig around and / or experiment
