128 GIG SD Used by Anyone ?

[Oingo Boingo]

Hey all

I just want to get an idea before spending cash - Anyone here flying with a a 128 GB Micro on the Mavic - ? And what are your experiences - Any Issues ? - I Normally fly with the Lexar 64 GIGs and they work like a dream

yup 128gig U3 toshiba and samsung work fine. **** 4k vids still manage to fill it up

 

[Oingo Boingo]

That's my exact reason. For wanting one [emoji6]

 

[mavicn00b]

i should have gone for the 256 but the 128's were a good deal cheaper. $50 vs $150-200

A lot of us use multiple smaller cards if lots of storage is needed. The bigger the card the more you lose when it fails or you lose it.

That is interesting! The owner's manual says up to 64 gig

Never read it. Only glitch ì seen is DJI go 4 States 99:99 as time left until the card free space becomes sufficiently low.

According to DJI, Mavic won't support 128 gb.

I used 128Gb from the beginning (few months ago)

I have two of these. Paid $44.99 each at Amazon:
Amazon.com: Samsung 128GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Select Memory Card with Adapter (MB-ME128GA/AM): Computers & Accessories

I also have one of a 128GB EVO PRO version that probably cost >$100 (got it as a gift).

Both versions work great on the Mavic.

Have not tried any 256GB cards.

Cheaper if you use 4 x 32g cards.
Slap some on the controller and a few in the bag in case you forget yours at home.
And you dont invest all your eggs in one basket if you lose it.

You can use 128 gb or 256 gb if you want, but the Mavic only "sees" the first 64.

It will still write to the entire card.

Slap some on the controller? I don't understand that statement?

I guess it really depends on the class of sd card that you are using. The cheaper ones that you see with the number 1 surrounded by like a letter "U" or a number 10 in a "C" is only good for certain resolution like 1080 or 720p or less. But the more expensive ones with a 3 within "U" is good for UHD AND HD video and also 4K.

So really depends

Class 10 should be good for 10meg/sec write speed. Mavic is 60mbit at best, so class 10 should be sufficient (it'd be the bare minimum for me). The P4P Pro is upto 100mbit so you'd be better off with a better rated card like a U3/V30. U3 for the Mavic is overkill but if you can find it cheap enough, no hard in buying it as it will make transferring the footage to your computer much faster in general.

The below chart is a good way to understand all the confusing ratings.

Tape them to the back of the controller. Good for emergencies, especially if you are 1000ks from home or a nerd store.

Yeah most definitely [emoji1303].

Was going to include these images as well

I take everything off my cards after every fight. Are you keeping stuff on yours that warrant a 128?

I'm using a 128 Gig Netac card. No problems so far.
