Is a samsung evo+ grade 1 class 10 good ?

The memory card is not fast enough for 4k filming. Yes you can ignore it if you only do photos or lower resolution (1080p) video.

I am not a SD card expert and I don't know what the zillion different numbers refer to. But I bought this one for $19 and it works fine. 64Gb Sandisk Extreme Pro

I know there are others that will work fine. It has been discussed regularly, just do a search.
 
Mavic air. Thats why we are in this section :D

lol good point my friend, I overlooked that :)

To shoot in 4K mode you need an SD card capable fo writing 12.5 MB/s. Typically UHS-3 (identified by the this logo)

Which is capable of writing at 30MB/s

The U1 / V10 card writes at 10MB/s which is too slow for the required 12.5 MB/s minimum. Also, there are allot of fakes on Amazon so I suggest downloading a free SD Card Speed Test application and seeing what you get for WRITE speed (which is the important aspect).

From the Mavic Air info sheet found here

I will say (though I have no experience myself) that users have reported issues with the Sandisk 64GB cards (in the Mavic lineup) not sure about the air? on the side of caution I went with 2 32GB cards for my Mavic 2 Pro.

I hope that helps!
