The weird thing with mine was that it was OK with cards up to 32Gb, but wouldn't recognise anything larger (all the DJI recommended Sandisk Extreme etc). Almost as if the end 'addressing' contacts weren't working. Cleaning the slot carefully didn't work. In the end I sent it back to the DJI...

My Mavic Air 2 now works fine too, since DJI Repair Centre in Holland changed the main motherboard - so clearly it was a hardware fault at manufacture. It now works with the microSD cards recommended by DJI (which it didn't before).

No, sorry - I was less than clear - I sent it away without battery, propellers or SD card, as instructed - expecting it back in the same condition (mended, but without anything). However, they put in a new set of propellers - so I now have 3 sets :) (the original Mavic Air 2 comes with a spare...

Yes, thanks - I did read a thread that had a link to an article on bird attacks and how to avoid them - very informative.

I have been flying DJI drones in the UK and Sweden for 3 years, mainly in remote areas where I have implicit permission (such as the Forest of Bowland), or high over farmland, having taken off from a public area. But this Spring was the first time I experienced attack from birds. On the first...

Thanks everyone!

Hi, I am from Garstang in North Lancashire, UK. I have been flying a Mavic Mini (mk.1) for 18 months, and a Mavic Air 2 for 6 months. The latter is better in all respects, but the former is more compact for long days walking in the hills in the UK or skiing in the forests of Sweden. I am lucky...

Update do my problem to everyone who kindly contributed to this thread: My Mavic Air 2 returned OK from repair under warranty in Holland (more EU bureaucratic delays on the way back, too :() and it is fine - they found a hardware fault with the card reader and said they were going to change a...

That's millions of pounds/euros of equipment right there - they aren't going to be coming for recreational drones like ours anytime soon - not worth the operational cost - this is a counter to weaponised drones from the likes of IS.

I have this exactly this problem, too - see my thread: Mavic Air 2 Fails To See MicroSD Cards Over 32Gb (sorry, I didn't see your thread before starting mine). In my case, DJI Support have decided it is probably a hardware issue, and sent me a UPS shipping label to their repair centre in...

Thanks for all the advice. On balance I think I will go through the complex EU import process of sending it to repair in DJI Holland (**** Brexit!). What I haven't mentioned in this thread is that I also have a DJI Mavic Mini (mk. 1) - which isn't as good, but I can still carry on flying :-)...

None of this explains why all my Sandisk 32Gb Extreme microSD cards work fine every time, but none of the Sandisk 128Gb Extreme or 64Gb Extreme Pro work (reliably) - sometimes the bigger cards work, sometimes they don't - this implies it has nothing to do with formatting. Incidentally, when I...

Not working fine.

When you say 'with the DJI Fly app', do you mean in the drone with the controller connected? If so, yes. Reformatting always works if the drone recognises the card; otherwise you cannot reformat it, if the drone doesn't even recognise that there is a card present. I have reformatting all these...

As I said in the original post, I am formatting (and regularly reformatting) them in the drone - I don't know what you mean by 'initialising'. I don't have a PC - only Apple-Macs here.
