Sync for DJI runs equally well even in the background. Support of 4K, H.265, DNG files, etc. - a high bar that beats DJI Go 4 possibilities. All you need is to open the app after the flight, select new footage, and tap ‘Share’ or ‘Download.’ That's it! Sync for DJI will do this in the background while you use other apps or even if you go on to preview your media on the connected DJI drone or Osmo!

Apply for each file or in a bunch! MAKE HYPERLAPSE - convert any timed shot into stabilized(!) hyperlapse. Completely with your MOBILE phone(no PC)! STITCH AND SHARE PANORAMAS - share your beautiful 180° & 360° panoramas straight on Facebook! P.S. Currently Mavic Pro, Phantom 3/4, Spark and Osmo devices do not supply panorama files due to SDK bug. FAST AND EASY SHARING - Share your best photos and videos directly from the DJI device.
