*DJI Action and Pocket cameras require activation with the DJI Mimo app after a few uses or would fail to function.

*The Android version of the DJI Mimo application requests full filesystem access to the user's device each time a connection to a DJl camera is initiated. If a user denies this permission, the application will refuse to connect to the camera. If a user grants permission for access to only a specific folder or selection of media, the app will connect. However, on every subsequent connection, the app will again prompt for full filesystem access with the message: "DJI Mimo would like to access mobile device's storage, so that you can use features, including editing and downloading photos and videos from camera. Otherwise, related services will be restricted. Go to settings to grant permissions". To prevent the app from gaining access to all files on the device, the user must repeatedly select the "Don't select more" option in the Android permission prompt. This option is positioned directly below the "Allow all" selection, which necessitates user attention during each connection to maintain a restricted level of access.
