And I thought such forgetfulness was just an age thing. I see it happens for the young folk also.

 

[Yorkshire_Pud]

Thousands are with you and thousand more forget to press stop before switching the drone off.

Yes I'm 46 years young and I have a parrot bebop 2 drone and 8t starts recording from takeoff I love it don't gotta remember to start recording they should change that meaning DJI

64 is a good size but 128 is probably more cost effective and readily available.
Bear in mind that the bigger the card the more footage etc. you could lose if you lose the drone.......unless you back the footage up to something else.

Me to, happens all the time. the idea is not to record until the action starts and for some reason that does not work, so now I just start record on every take off.

I'm a nervous flyer. Check all the vitals, EMU, GPS, props, frame rate, ISO, aperture, exposure compensation, shutter speed, flight restrictions, look for people, look for wildlife, look for traffic, scan for general situational awareness. Watch everything like a hawk as I have had sooooo many weird things happen with these birds. Does it hover correctly, Does it recognize altitude, on and on and on. And yes, often at the end of the flight after putting it back in the case, I realize I never hit record. If my wife is along, she will remind me.

same as me but now I use Litchi and got auto record set on and on take off it says recording started and on landing it says recording stopped, so much less hassel

what's the best capacity to get

I had a card break for some reason early on so I prefer the 32. I always take a look, download a little, delete a lot and start each flight with a fresh card.

64 is a good size but 128 is probably more cost effective and reasily available.

I so very well about losing my sd card with the drone happened last year to my mini 1

I don't know if posting links is allowed here but I have some great footage on YouTube gotta remember to hit that record button geeesh

Howdy and welcome, Champ.

I'm just getting started, and have on occasion discovered I'd got only video of the times between intended shots. Being a beginner in a place without terribly spectacular views (west of Richmond, Virginia), the losses weren't devastating; just poking around local parks and such. Still I wish I had the slow, manual panorama from the suburbs showing distant downtown Richmond with Christmas lights on. Next year!

And forgetting to hit record is better than forgetting to put the sd card in

Usually remember that, but not always sure I'm on video or stills until I check. Forgetting to turn off is more likely.

32 Gb seems to hold many, many flights for me, but I still download to computer after each flight.

I use litchi for all my flights so I have the same interface between different drones. There’s option to start/stop recording automatically on take off / landing.

 

[Yaros]

Use litchi, it has the ability to auto record on takeoff.
