Mavic mini video issues

mhclothier · Apr 1, 2020

Hello all. I'm having issues with my mavic mini and video. First, it keeps stopping at about 5 seconds. I reset camera settings to default. Seems to be back to working for now.

Second, I keep getting pop ups saying "SD card error", followed by "switching to sd card". It records for a while but I never seem to get all the footage. For example, I recorded for 5 minutes, but the file only shows 2.5 minutes.

Any suggestions on either issue?

It's probably because your card too slow, but it might just be defective.

No, it's a class 3 and perfectly functional in my M2P.

Mini seems pickier about cards than my ME Pro. I have a card that is fine in the M2, but has problems in the mini.

That said, my wife just found a V3 card in the dryer below the lint trap. It's been there since Thanksgiving and is just fine. Put it back in the goggles and used it today. I was wondering where it went!

Thx for that. I have a pair of Evos I use for both drones. I'm going to swap it with a SanDisk I use in my video camera.

Oh, and go you for that disk still working. SD cards are pretty resilient, unless it's finals week lol

Please check the DJI website for recommended cards. My card didn't work either so bought a faster one and no problem since. Just take a recommended card. Good luck. Hope that works.
