    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I believe I explained what I had discovered in post #73 in this thread. Did I miss some details that need explaining better?

    Thank you for your valuable contribution to worldwide knowledge. Perhaps others felt it worthwhile to gain some knowledge from this discussion. Sorry if you prefer the reader's digest type sources of information.

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I stated detailed facts. It is apparently only you who seems to be unable to follow the simple steps. What facts are you presenting? All I see there are baseless and unsupportable opinions. Your only purpose for being here is to support DJI by trying to squelch (if you don't understand the...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    ""Deleting' files is just bad practice as it never truly deletes the files. You format a card when you place it back in the device." Doing a quick format pretty much does the same thing as a delete. Just deletes the entry in the FAT. The file itself is NOT removed from the memory card. You...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    Well, this is just darn weird. Tried one of the Samsung Pro Plus 128GB V30 A2 microSDXC memory cards I just got in today, and it did the same thing as the SanDisk cards I tried. Which didn't surprise me much. Just to verify things, I did the same steps with the Samsung card, and I then tried...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    Well, the Mini 3 Pro is now on it's way back to Amazon. Got another one on it's way to me right now. Curious how memory card testing will go with the new one when it gets here. Ordered some Samsung cards in case there is an issue with the SanDisk brand. But seems like they have fallen into a...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    Thank you. That is encouraging that I may have just gotten a bum Mini 3 Pro and this isn't a flaw in the implementation of the memory card formatting DJI is using with this device. I really would like to get a replacement when I send this one I have back to Amazon, but want to make certain I...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    OK, now we may be getting somewhere. When you put the memory card back into your Mini 3 after copying the video files off of the card, do you reformat the card in the drone before writing video to it again? No one around here has anything like this. Matter of fact, I have only seen one drone...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I have tried both methods. Formatting in my PC causes no problems. Formatting in the DJI Mini 3 Pro makes the memory cards I have tried a READ ONCE THEN SELF DESTRUCT device once they are placed in the PC's card reader. Meaning you can plug the card back into the drone, and it will act like it...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I guess you missed the links I posted in a previous post showing that possibly another one in millions of users found this sort of problem. Oh the horror! Please come back to this thread after you have actually tested what I asked for, please. Other than that, you are apparently just trying to...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    If you don't mind my asking, in which device did you format your memory card?

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    Thank you. Now maybe someone not afraid of doing some real testing and offending others, in order to actually HELP, will chime in. I am perfectly willing to accept I just have a singularly defective device. I would just like to have some REAL feedback from actual testing results others might...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    Someone else trying the test I have requested would answer some questions. And no, reformatting the memory card each and time you use it in a device is NOT a normal standard. It is a workaround to cover up a formatting flaw in the DJI Mini 3 Pro drone. Perhaps other DJI products? I have used...

    Video/memory card problem with my new Mini 3 Pro

    I would like to ask a favor of anyone reading this thread. The reason for this favor is to help me determine if getting a replacement DJI Mini 3 Pro will resolve this problem I am addressing in this thread. I would like to make the determination NOW of what would be the best step for me to...
