Hardware that Makes DJI → iPhone Transfers Easy

The right SD cards, readers, and cables save time and headaches—especially on the road.

Cards

  • UHS‑I U3/V30 or better; avoid no‑name brands.
  • Format in‑camera regularly; retire cards that misbehave.

Readers & Cables

  • USB‑C SD reader for modern iPhones; official adapters for Lightning.
  • Short, high‑quality cables reduce transfer errors.

Performance Tips

  • Keep iPhone above 20% battery to avoid throttling during long copies.
  • Disable background app refresh to reduce random interruptions.
  • Copy before previewing; some apps trigger slow background transcodes.
