Has anyone else gotten a warning when they try to start recording video, knowing full well you have tons of room on your SD card. In my experience It can usually be fixed by ejecting and re-inserting the SD card, but this isn't the greatest solution especially when in a time crunched or business situation. Does anyone know how to avoid this?

I remove and insert a card after every flight on several DJI models and have never encountered that problem.

One preventive measure might be formatting the card in the drone as part of the start-up routine before each flight. It adds 20-30 seconds to the process but should remove any incorrect reading of the card capacity.
 
I have had some hiccups using other than really good brands of cards...I have seen others also advise to format in the drone....I usually do it right after I download the media onto my computer...using the computer to do it....using San Disc cards I don't have any problems at all

Just a thought, check that you are recording to the card and not the 2 gb of on board memory.

Maybe something got switched in the app?

Off the top of my head, that sounds like a fake microsd card. I would run a check on the card (which writes actual files to the card up to the full amount) just to be sure the entire memory space is available and usable.
 
I have seen it before but as you I just kinda treated as one of those things and reinserted I don't use my SD card much at all tho.

I have forgotten an SD card and had to record to the drone and forgot to move back to the SD card on the next flight after I reinserted it...could the OP have done that?

If the 2gb on the drone are full it gives that warning to me even if I have it set to record to the SD card. I couldn't figure out why I kept getting that error until I realized that I hadn't deleted the video on the internal storage. Once deleted I haven't had the error again.
 
It's a bug in the new M4P firmware or the DJI Fly update, not sure, but DM Productions covered this in a recent video.
