Memory card for Mavic Pro.

Tazbone · Dec 11, 2018

Hi lads
I'm a bit thick when it comes to memory cards.
Is a 32gb enough for 30min flying or should I go for a 64-128gb.
Have seen this type.
Cheers

I tend to only record interesting bits of the flight and take lots of still pics during the flight mostly in jpeg so I find a handful of 16gig work well and swap each long flight.I just picked up a 100mb/s 32g sd in Asda for £18 so that is now my normal use card. lasts me three battery worth of flying with my usage.

Like your self I will also be taking stills but do want the space for video footage too.
The 100mb/s on your card in relation to the 90mb/s on the argos card seems a pretty fair.

You really notice the difference in write speeds when you do jpeg’s & raw with aeb. It locks up forever between shots.

That website says it's 40MB/s write. 90mb/s is for read. It's the write speed that you need to focus on. If you are taking a video, and it's too slow to write, it'll stop recording.

Edit: It's U3, so I think it should be OK.

The drawback to big cards is if you lose the card or something fails, you lose a lot. Better to have a few 32’s than one 128. I’ve had good luck with this one.

Thanks Starz.... I'll shop for your chosen one [emoji106]

That looks like the one I got in Asda. I just dug the package from the bin and it says 100 read 60Mb/s write. It works well in video and stills.

I do not think that link I posted go to the memory chip, you might have to type in the description once you get to the website. This memory chip is very common on the internet.
