Once you’ve powered the device and connected it to DJI Copilot, follow the Easy Copy prompts on the
LCD, or use the Copilot BOSS app to copy and manage data on the device.
Recommendaons for USB Type A connecons
Power delivery for compable devices
Devices with batteries that charge via USB can receive up to 1.5A when connected to the USB Type A port.
Micro-USB devices receive up to 900mA.
Drones, DSLR, point & shoot cameras, and video devices
Photographic equipment with USB ports can connect directly to DJI Copilot. Make certain to use a cable that
supports the port on your device as it can differ by model. If you receive a USB error on the LCD, see the
note above regarding powered devices.
iPhone, iPad and Android phone/tablet
While USB storage and photographic devices are the expected devices, DJI Copilot can also copy files
stored on an iPhone, iPad or Android phone/tablet via the Type A port. Similar to storage devices connected
to the Type A port, you can copy all the contents on your mobile device’s storage using Easy copy.
However, performing an Easy copy also copies all system files on your mobile device. For precision
copying, connect your mobile device to DJI Copilot via the dedicated tethered cable and use Copilot BOSS
to choose only the files you want.
If you connect your mobile device to the Type A port and select an Easy copy, you may receive an error
message on the LCD to check the USB connection. Both Android and iOS require permission to allow
connected devices to access files. Many Android and all iOS devices have simple pop-up dialogs to give
consent. If you do not see the pop-up on your Android device, navigate to the settings for USB connections
to accept sharing files. The default for some Android devices is to allow a connected device with a battery
to charge from your mobile device, which is not recommended.
Copies from Android and iOS mobile devices back up media files from the Camera Roll. A copy from the
mobile device is not a backup of the device and should not be considered a full backup.
USB hub
While a USB hub can support multiple USB storage devices, it’s possible that DJI Copilot only recognizes one
of them. Use the Copilot BOSS app to choose which devices to manage on the USB hub.
Computer - Not recommended
While a USB cable can connect a computer to DJI Copilot via the USB Type A port, it’s not recommended.
Tasks such as copying files are not available to computers when connected to the Type A port. Computers
that accept a charge via USB will rapidly drain DJI Copilot’s battery if it’s not connected to a power outlet.
