DJI Copilot Specifications

Let's start by looking at the specifications of the DJI Copilot:

What's in the Box?

Next, let's look at what's included with the Copilot.

The Copilot comes in its rugged rubber covering offering the water and dust protection. The covering does attract dust and dirt but it can easily be cleaned when required. A wide range of cables are included with the DJI Copilot, compatible with the majority of modern smartphones and computers. There's also a MicroSD adapter included, a handy addition to the package, especially for drone pilots. The package includes a month trial to Adobe® Creative Cloud, giving you the opportunity to test out some of Adobe's apps.

Using the DJI Copilot

In this section, we'll be detailing the various functions available on the DJI Copilot.

Copilot Hard Drive

Mobile Device

SD Card/Camera

Like in the menu for the hard drive, you can organise images and videos saved on the SD card, changing names, deleting files and move them to your mobile device. You can also clear and SD card to create space, allowing you to instantly use the card again in your drone or camera.

DJI Copilot Settings

The final option available on the Copilot BOSS app is the Settings Menu. In the Settings, you're able to control various aspects and preferences of the hard drive. In this menu, we left the majority of settings as default but it's handy being able to control settings. The power saving mode is a useful aspect if you're out in the field without access to a power socket as USB charging isn't possible.

DJI Copilot with a Computer

When using the Copilot with a computer, standard hard drive functionality is available.   You can edit and view files directly from the hard drive, again cutting down on the kit you need to take with you.

DJI Copilot Summary

The DJI Copilot is the ideal hard drive for anyone who captures a great deal of data who wants to quickly backup their files without carrying around a laptop. As the Copilot BOSS app allows you to view and organise your images on the move, it is a great option for creatives travelling for work as it gives you the ability to sort through your shots before getting back to your base. It's extremely simple to use and completes transfers quickly, even when you're transferring large amounts of data. The Copilot can also keep up with harsh conditions through its water and dust proofing, giving you peace of mind that your data is safe. This lets you focus on what's important, the creative process and capturing your images and video.
