Photos on goggles sd card

[Dogsbody]

Hi. I recently bought a Neo 2 'Fly more combo,' but when using the goggles all still photos end up in the aircraft's memory. Video footage goes onto the goggles' sd card, but I would like to have the still photos go to the sd card as well. How can I do this?

You can't. Also the video you get on the goggles is not the full quality original footage, it's just a dump of the live view you got while flying, with any dropouts/interference etc.

The short answer is: You cannot force the high-resolution, original still photos to save directly to the Goggles' SD card during flight. Here is exactly why it happens and how to get your photos smoothly:

Why It Does This​

• Video: When you record video while wearing the goggles, the aircraft transmits a live digital video feed to your headset. The Goggles record this transmitted stream (along with your OSD/flight data telemetry, if enabled) onto its SD card as a convenient backup or screen recording.
• Photos: A still photograph is a single, high-resolution capture taken directly by the camera sensor. Because it isn't part of a continuous video stream being transmitted for live viewing, the aircraft saves the full-quality image file exactly where it belongs: the internal storage (or SD card) of the Neo 2 aircraft itself.

The Workarounds​

Since you can't change the default saving path in the settings, here are the best ways to get those photos onto your phone or computer:

• The Quick Mobile Method (QuickTransfer): Power on just the Neo 2 (you don't need the goggles or controller on). Open the DJI Fly app on your smartphone. It will detect the drone via Wi-Fi, allowing you to use QuickTransfer to view the aircraft's internal memory and download the full-resolution photos directly to your phone in seconds.
• The Direct Hardware Method: Plug the Neo 2 directly into your computer using a USB-C cable, or pop the MicroSD card out of the drone (if you use one) and use a card reader to pull the files.
• The "Cheat" Method (Video Screen Grabs): If you absolutely need a shot that is saved on the goggles instantly, you can review the recorded FPV video file on the Goggles' SD card and take a screenshot of the frame you want. Just keep in mind this will be a lower-resolution grab of the transmission feed, not the pristine photo the drone's sensor actually captured.

To get the best quality, just let the drone handle the photos internally and grab them via the DJI Fly app when you're back on the ground!
