Hi guys - new to the drone world and bought my son one. He is trying to take video of a neighbors house that is being sold. After trying to record video on an iPhone 6+ and card inserted in drone, both are coming out distorted.
Video:
I am hoping it is a basic setting - any input would be appreciated! Thanks!
This video is a cached version that is stored on your phone/table when you're flying. I.e., the video signal you were watching while you were flying is stored locally on the phone. The quality of this type of video is very low and it should only be used for monitoring purposes, not for actual video production work.
What you want to do is to:
1) Either remove the MicroSD card that is on the drone camera, or gimbal (depending on your drone model), or connect the drone to your computer via a USB cable. If you don't know where the microsd card slot is or where the USB cable port is, read the quick reference manual of the drone, it will explain where both are located.
2) Buy a microsd adapter / card reader (if you don't have one, these are really cheap) and use that to read the contents of the microsd card on your computer. It will show on your computer as an external drive.
3) You'll find a high quality version of the same footage inside the card. Use that for editing / production purposes in your video editing software of choice.
That's it ! Basically, never use the footage shown inside the DJI GO App ("Editor" menu) for any video production work, only if you're trying to do a quick share to social media (instagram, facebook,etc.) and you're really not too concerned with the image quality.
