Is it possible to reto-fit an SSD to a Mavic 3?

[JG4272]

If the Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 Cine are of the same physical size, would it be possible to fit an SSD in a normal Mavic 3?

Possibly, if you had the resources of the DJI factory.
But why would you want to?

No.

Ok thanks guys, quite happy to stick with a SIM card then.

If you were curious about making a DIY Mavic 3 cine, no.
If you managed to fit an SSD, you still wouldn't have a licence from Apple to be able to record in Prores.

But You can already use very large SD cards (a Sim card is something completely different), that can hold many hours of video, if you don't mind putting lots of eggs in one basket.
Prores files are huge and the SSD in the Cine version can only store about 2.5 hours of video.
Using a big SD in a regular Mavic 3, you could store many times more video before you would have to download it.

Many thanks for your advice, I meant SD card, SIM card just a slip of my aging brain.

Technically, a "micro SD card," if we want to avoid all confusion.

Thank you so much for pointing out the error of my knowledge

A 1 TB micro SD card now with read/write speed specs needed by Mavic (A2, V30, 3) as of October 2022, by Sandisk Extreme runs for about $175. And coming down of course.
Aside the Pro controller and Pro res, that is quite cheaper to add to your MA3 than the $5K Cine for its 1TB memory.
Just saying.

Besides physical size, there's probably differences in the circuit boards that are beyond the scope of a home soldering job (not to mention the firmware differences).

lol you aren’t writing ProRes videos on a V30 card.
