Does the quality/speed of the SD card in the controller matter for screen recording?

[shadow3467]

I've been having really underwhelming signal with the mini 3 pro and want to record my screen to post it online

Two questions

1. Can I fly the drone without an SD card if I don't intend to take any footage, and use the SD card in the controller instead to screen record?

2. If not, and in the case that I will need another memory card for the controller, I'm wanting something small like 32gb since I wont record much but does speed of the card matter?

As it's less res' it's not as vital but I use the fast cards just to eliminate any issues that may arise

Great seeing the Samsung card there. Was only $15.99 for a 128GB at Micro Center.

I suggest using a card capable of being used for hi-res video in the drone. The ones I'm using are $16 for a 64 gb model and $14 for 32 gb. You could spend half that for a slower card to put in the controller. But, you'll almost certainly soon want to shoot video with the M#P and you'd have to buy a new card.

Also, the high-speed card is going to be suitable for any other device you might have or get - e-reader, phone, recorder, trail camera, camera, ...
