Yes just be gentle. I use a small screwdriver.

Ok

It will partially, or occasionally completely, pop out of the slot. Tweezers help of it‘s partial.
Be sure to depress it fully into the slot and let go suddenly.

I have large fat fingers and micro sd's are my nemeses. I usually just use the micro usb port to move files. Except on my GoPro which will not be recognized by my computer. A complete PIA.

I change the card every time I change the battery to minimize chances and amount of data loss in the event of malfunction or fly away/ crash.

I use a toothpick that has a flat end. I keep a few of them in the zipped pocket of the drone bag.

Do it over something flat and white - like a paper on a table. That way when you drop it, and you will, at least you'll be able to find it. It's a shame that extracting the card isn't easier

I always keep a pair of tweezers handy.

Use the micro card adaptor to remove the card. It has a slanted edge to do just that job. You will be needing it(the adaptor) just after removing the micro to view in your computer.

I use the tweezers in my Swiss Army Knife.

I really dislike those tiny TF cards. My ham hands and fat fingers......

What an ingenious trick that is. It even works on my AIR 1. Unless you try really hard you can learn something new every day!
I think that 79 on your profile accounts for some of that knowledge

That's what I use. The MA2 has a fussy card slot, my big fat fingers won't work.
