I have the DJI MINI 3 Pro and both controllers.
I take photos from 1km away from me. How do I send them to my phone INSTANTLY? From the drone to the controller to my phone?

OcuSync?

It’s possible on other drones, just not yours. You’d need to step up to an Inspire or M350 for that functionality.

Alright, do you know anything about the MAVIC 2 ENTERPRISE ZOOM? I’m curious about the types of ports it has because I want to build a PC on top of the drone and retrieve the media.

I don’t believe this is something you can do at the moment. It’s a tether feature that’s common in cameras and DSLRs but not on drones. You can download the footage and photos while flying the drone, but the quality is really bad.

If you want full-quality photos, you’ll have to bring the drone down and transfer them from the SD card itself. The best option is to get a microSD to USB-C adapter so when the drone lands, you can get the photos quickly and send them back up or pack up.

I owned the Mavic 2 Pro, which is somewhat similar. I sold it a while ago, but if I remember correctly, the app allowed you to download photos at full resolution while flying. It’s not the tethering feature you’re looking for, but it’s something. I believe it might be the same for the Enterprise-level drones as they allow for more customization.

Why would you want to do that?

I just want to. As soon as the picture is taken, I want it sent to my phone or some other storage (I have my phone connected to the remote).

You can take a screenshot with your phone, but you can’t transfer the photo until the drone is back.

Why would you want a photo instantly in the field?

You can always view them in the album on the remote controller while the drone is still in the air.
