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?

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.
- 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.

Did you really copy and paste AI?
Part of the information is wrong. Some poor soul reading this post is going to be pulling their hair out trying to find where the SD card is located.

Nothing wrong with using AI. It's just a tool. It can be wrong, just like old-school Google searches in the past.
Just like any tool, it needs to be checked and verified by a human with expertise.
I've found AI to be an immensely valuable tool and quite a leap forward in assisting many aspects of my life, in particular information on nutrition, physiology, and prognosis post-bypass recovery, and how to live a long, healthy life going forward. Because of a ton of info on changes to my diet and everything else, I had the best blood chemistry results, and doctor's appointment (cardiologist) in my entire 64 year life a few weeks ago.

AI might be good for general research but specific instructions on a procedure is almost useless. I spent a few days with 3 different AI bots trying to install software and I couldn't believe how many times it errored, guessed, and outright lied. I found that in the face of failure it would try guessing at the next step or go so technical it didn't understand the consequences of its actions. They said sorry for getting it wrong and that I was correct to call it out! They couldn't keep the version I was using straight and kept giving incorrect info for a different version. One bot gave up and said it was beyond its ability. One blamed my equipment and suggested a few very expensive upgrades before giving up. One admitted that the install was beyond the scope of any currently available AI bot at this time. I spent about ten hours with each with the same results. I gave up on AI and went back to a mix of google, youtube and trial and error. The program was installed in less than 3 hours using "the old way".
The biggest problem was AI failure and over compensating for it. It would say do this, fail. Then come back with exactly why it failed (which is useless info) then go way overboard and try to get me to edit .json files and write scripts for .xml files. A lot of the time after errors it wouldn't reverse the action before starting the next fix for the same problem.
Anyone else have issues with AI?
Cheers

I've had issues with AI. I've had wrong information, hallucinations, and other well-known errors. So what.
It's a tool, and a rather useful one. It can be misused, and imperfect. Examples of these shortcomings in no way act as an indictment against its use entirely, but you're certainly welcome to miss out on the enormous benefits it provides if you so choose.
There's not something you're so much smarter about that the rest of the world doesn't see, and is pouring resources into AI for. It will make mistakes. So do human beings. And classic computers. Perfection is a fantasy standard.

My experience with AI is that it is most of the time correct. But I got lulled into not checking up on its reesponses. THen I got burned on something when I used it at work since I was lulled into it most of the time being right.
Usually on math it is always correct. I had if mess up my stock tracker, not because it cannot do math, but decided on its own to not add up several rows of data that it had added up previously.
My final favorite is when it told me someone I knew graduated from a college that I had recently graduated from which was not true.
It did guess me by name with only 3 clues though.
I just hate it when people on forums copy and paste its responses. I come to a forum to ask questions and get answers from humans who have experience with the problem I am having. If I wanted to read AI responses I would read them on my own to my own questions,.
JustDavid, not picking on you, just giving my humble opinion.

When I give a response, whether I get an answer from Advanced Intelligence or my own Intelligence, I try to help people and be positive and supportive. If someone is being negative in their response to me or to others, I point it out, but I try to do it in a positive way. I admit my response was incorrect in the one aspect that Neo and Neo 2 do NOT support SD Cards, but the information was factually correct. The error was pointed out, and I did edit the response to remove the incorrect info. For someone, or someones, to continue harping on 'my mistake' distracts from the point of this question, and is very negative and disheartening. Makes one not want to take the time to answer questions or give feedback, and distracts from the helpful nature of this forum.
This was copied from my Advanced Intelligence:
Participating in online forums with a positive mindset is essential for cultivating a healthy, collaborative space where members feel safe sharing their ideas. When users approach discussions with empathy and constructive feedback, it elevates the entire group and encourages active participation. Conversely, toxic negativity and defensive arguments quickly tear down the foundational sense of community, replacing mutual respect with hostility and driving members away. By consciously choosing uplifting and respectful language, we protect the shared digital neighborhood and ensure it remains a welcoming environment for everyone.
