Hi from Shropshire UK

[Cjcoolcat]

great to see other local newbies. Literally received my Mavic 2 pro on Saturday. I have managed to get it in the air in Beginner Mode but will have to wait till the weather improves before taking it out for a spin. I have never flown a drone before but as a lover of photography as seem to have lost my mojo I thought I would invest in something decent.

The only question I have at the moment is. Do I need to format my memory card before using it ? If so how ? (Seems is Easier in a camera). I do ensure the pictures taken are written to it ? I ask because I thought I had take. A few pics but the card was empty when I took a look via my laptop.

Hope you can assist.

You can format the memory card in DJI GO from the menu icon underneath the shutter button. Instead of formatting, I just move the photos/videos from the memory card to my computer.

When you say move do you mean you use a cable ? I think given the cards are so tiny, it’s may be worth doing this if I have enough power left it the drone that is .

I remove the card and plug it into a memory card reader. You could use a cable instead.

I have big hands and is not that hard to remove. I just keep one fingernail a little longer Cj.

You should not have to format the card. Are you Shure You took a pic. ? Best to read the instructions on videos and pics. Any video or pis. you take should go directly to the sd card. Make sure you sd card is inserted properly. Don't rush into flying with out learning. It took me a few days of practice to get comfortable with it. It is some what complicated but the drone is a very sophisticated device. You will do well to take your time. read, understand, practice, Talk with other expensed pilots. I wish you well.
