The MP comes with a 16 GB card which sounds generous until you begin thinking 4K.

At differing resolutions, how many minutes of recording on a 16 GB card?

I ordered the Fly More kit. So 3 batteries. I doubt I'll be charging batt 1 while flying batt 2 and 3 ... so what size card is recommended for a "3 battery" outing?

Thanks
Alan
 
You can record about 2 minutes of 4K video per 1 GB of memory.
 
Thanks.

At 4K : 2 min / GB. So 30+ mins on a 16 GB card.

Guess I better order another card!

The manual states up to 64 GB. Has anyone tried higher capacity cards?
 
Some people here are using 128GB memory cards.
 
I bough't the Fly More Combo as well, and a 64GB card. The card takes about 2h15min footage in 4K, one battery shoots for about 20 mins. So I have to empty the card just once in two charging cycles. Works for me, if I'm somewhere more remote, I can charge the batteries in the car without having to empty the card.
 
Great - sounds like 64 K ought to be ample - but if the 128 isn't too expensive I'll go for that.

(Hmmps - still have 16 GB in my full frame camera...)
