M2P micro SD question...

[Cloudycoastphotography]

Hi all,
I’m new here and just purchased the M2P with smart controller and RE goggles. I’m not new to drones, just upgraded from my Yuneec Q500. Here’s my question: my drone, the controller and the goggles all have a micro SD slot...should I use all three and/or how? I’m confused as to what the recording options are...does the controller capture what the drone captures? As a back up? Is the quality the same? Or is it catching what appears on the screen? Very confusing. Please advise and let me know what/how to best set up the recording options. Thank you in advance!

IT IS VERY CONFUSING. Some files will down load to the SC mainly jpeg while you are filming. If you want the files from the drone (that didnt download) to download to the SC you have to go in and download manually. It will only download the jpegs to the SC. Same for the goggles. The main purpose for all the microSD cards is to do post processing on your computer, especially high resolution images/video. You will place them directly in your computer. The drone will have the best images as they weren't transmitted over the wifi from the drone to the SC. The system is duplicitous. You will have the same video on the SC/goggles and the drone. And then some of the drone will not download to the SC as they are likely high resolution. The drone clips are definitely better. It seems the purpose to the SC recording is so you can see what you have just recorded without waiting. The download from the drone to the SC can take awhile(5-15 minutes). Hope that helps. It gets easier as you get more experience with it. This is not in any manual. The goggles are just like the SC.

Perfect answer! THANK YOU! I shoot everything in RAW so now I know to use the SD card from the drone, not the controller. Thank you again!!

I agree. I only use the drone now for recording. The rest is too picky and confusing.
