I have captured video on my cam pan sd card. I would like to copy that video and sound to my phone (android) sd card to save it from being overwritten. If I were local to the camera, that would be easy. However, I’m a thousand miles away and while i can see the video in"playback mode" i can’t seem to copy the content to a remote device. Thoughts? Thanks!

You can in a temporary gesture hit the record button on your app while in playback to save a file to your phone.
