Video cache full

[Jeff Battaglia]

I got a message saying my video cache is full. It said two gb. Do I just empty this cache and keep on shooting or try to change the capacity from two gigs higher?

which video cache are you referring to the drone or your device

The drone. It came on while I was flying

The drone. It came on while I was flying

it also said it was full at 2 gigabytes. I thought the drone holds 8 plus my SD card extra

 

[old man mavic]

what video settings are you recording in ie 10-80p or 4K 4k is very memory greedy and will soon fill 8 gig

I believe your referring to the video cache in the Go App within your device.
The settings are from 2 to 16 gigs. As long as your device has enough storage capacity, I would set it to 16 gig.

Thanks I will try to change the settings. Didn't know I could do that. Newbie.

What is the purpose of the cache??? It's always low quality and useless.

Overstate things much? The quality isn't as good as what's on the SD card but it isn't bad — it's HD — and it's far from useless. It's great as a backup if your SD card fails or you lose the drone, and it's good for a quick review of what you have when you haven't yet been able to transfer footage from the card.

Ahh good, a relatively recent pre-existing cache question I can piggyback onto.

1) How does one change the cache size in DJI Go?
2) Is the cache first-in-first-delete or just it just cache until it's full, and then you have to manually delete it each time it fills up?
3) Is there an option to make it first-in-first-delete?
4) If not, is that an option we might want to pass up the chain to DJI?

Thanks!

Question, if you don’t have a card reader, can I connect my bird to laptop and download cache and sd card to laptop ?

These are 2 different procedures. Yes you can connect your turned on aircraft to your laptop, and it will act as a drive where your high quality videos and images will be.
For cache files, you will have to connect your device to your laptop and retrieve those files within the go4 application directory folder.
These files will also contain the audio from your device as well if it is activated in Go 4.

Going to try that today. Thx.

A quick question Mr. Salty, does the transmission of the HD back to the SC in any way impact the transmission of flight control information from the SC to the AC? Such as latency or range of the flight commands?

I don't know because I don't have a SC.
