Mavic 2 Micro SD requirements

[Jiffen]

DJI specs. seem to say the SD card must be FAT32. Is that true?
Also, is there an upper limit on SD capacity? I have 128GB I want to use.
Thanks all.

I format my SD card using the DJI Smart Controller, so I'm not sure of the format. And I am currently using a 256GB SanDisk Extreme Pro and it works perfectly fine. I have a Mavic 2 Pro.

Thanks DH. Good info.

FAT2 is needed for high capacity SDs. Both work. DJI always breaks file capture at 4 GB, which needs to be fixed in post.

The Mavic 2 specs state the max is 128 GB. While it's probably overkill for most people, many 256 GB memory cards should work too.

Technically, cards over 32GB will be formatted as ExFAT. ExFAT and FAT32 are similar file structures.

Consider the downside of big cards. It will tempt you to use it until it is full. Then when you crash in the water, or have a fly-away. You loose days worth of images and videos.

I use 64gb cards, which is overkill for a day’s worth of flying, and offload it after every day’s shooting. That limits the loss to one day, should anything go wrong.

Same here.... change for every flight, but I am a bit OC.
