Cache and SD quality comparison

[Paul Lee]

So I have done a little side by side comparison video... The left is the footage edited directly from the phone (Cached video ) And the right is footage edited directly from the SD card. Yes they are different edits but they are both from the same flight.
So you can see the difference between phone and sd footage.
The right hand side footage also had a filter applied.
The final result didn't allow me to get a full 1080 resolution due to the poor quality cached version

Direct from SD card

There is no doubt the SD card will provide the better footage as it is written directly to the card. The device only records the weaker signal sent to it via wifi.

Yes I am aware of this, Just trying to help the people who are new to video editing and wondering why their footage looks poor.

Or don't read the manual

And as good as the wifi signal can be, if I recall clearly the video feed sent to the smartphone is just HD (720x1280) while the video written to the SD card is full HD, or FHD (1080x1920). Am I correct? Or is the video feed to the smartphone in FHD?
