Your Mavic Air 2 User Manual gives the minimum SD Card ratings necessary. Page 29 states that the card must be at least UHS-1 Speed Grade 3. Stick to a quality brand that meets or exceeds those specs and you will be fine.
One such card that I use all the time is Samsung Evo Select

I do mel, Pajero, we chatted about tyres/rims iirc parked up on a lane.
Touareg V6 TDI now, just cost me 3 mavic pro’s for a turbo and 6 injectors.
last week for me as well. Been pondering one for a while, close to the mini. Thought would jump that and get the air 2 to save money. Only now I still want a mini and maybe even a larger mavic! Blown away by how awesome the Air2 is. Totally , it’s awesome and cant wait to get some good footage. Just imagine if we had one for the lanes in the Peak District!!! Hope your well, hope your next Air2 will be spot on. You definitely won’t be disappointed , incredible bit of kit. Cheers

And you Mel, well i will be here , maybe for ever haha. I am pretty hook line and sinker with these little flying things! As you possibly remember, i am a nightmare with gadgets n stuff. So i am enjoying the ride for now and can see more dji stuff in the future. Callum for one is wanting , i think 3 will be the magic number for me.
The difference from a few years back to what i had, the the air 2 is ridiculous. I certainly dont miss my 4ch(well a little) and 6ch helicopters, latter being a right pita just to hover. These are so more advanced and user friendly. Its amazing just being able to launch and not have any input, hovering perfect. Its fantastic to get use to the controls. Hope you enjoy it, look forward to some amazing video in the peaks from you.......hint hint

Both looking forward to and dreading tomorrow
Don't no what I'll do if it won't activate.

I got this one from Amazon, it worked perfectly on my first flight yesterday:
$30 for128gb of the best possible card I found.

I might end up either getting another 64gb or go 128gb. I only paid £12 for the 64, think 128gb are £18 from amazon
Hi, Using a U1 card is a risk. It may be ok for photos but for video you should use V30 or U3. See long story below:
‘Speed Class’ refers to the absolute minimum sustained write speeds. Cards can be rated as Class 2 (minimum write speed of 2MB/s), Class 4 (4MB/s), Class 6 (6MB/s) or Class 10 (10MB/s). The next rating is the UHS Speed Class. This stands for Ultra High Speed and refers to minimum sustained writing performance for recording video. UHS came about due to 4K-capable video devices needing faster write speeds. There are two UHS Speed Classes, UHS Speed Class 1 and UHS Speed Class 3. UHS Speed Class 1 supports a minimum 10MB/s write speed, whereas UHS Speed Class 3 supports at least 30MB/s write speed. The UHS Speed Class is denoted by either a 1 or 3 inside of a bucket U symbol. As a rule of thumb, 4K-capable camcorders will usually require at least a U3 rated SD card. Extremely high-resolution video (4 or 8K), demanded even faster cards and this is provided by V class which range from 6 to 90. The number represents MB/sec. Confused yet? Keep reading. So, going from fastest to slowest with these numbers it is V90, V60, V30 (which is equal to U3) V10 (which is equal to U1 and Speed Class 10). The remaining are not worth considering.
Also, for drones ignore A1 and A2 ratings and just pay attention to V ratings. The A ratings are for application extensive operations such as smartphones and mobile gaming consoles. This is the Application Performance Class Specification. These cards essentially extend the memory of these devices. The apps that run on these devices interact with memory space differently. Rather than a stream of sequential data (think video), they write a lot of small chunks of data wherever there's space available. That's known as random read/write (compared to sequential read/write that's important for video). A card that is suitable for random reading and writing may not be suitable for sequential reading and writing. The A1 and A2 cards have different random read and write ratings but have the same minimum sequential write speed of 10 megabytes per second. This speed is equivalent to the Class 10 video speed rating. The Class 10 rating is about the same is the V10 rating. The V10 rating is too slow for your drone.
So, the bottom line for your drone camera (at least DJI drones) you need a minimum V30 card (or U3). The card may also have other ratings (Such as A or U) but if it says V30 or better you are good. And as always, the best bet is to see what the manufacturer recommends/requires. But keeping it simple = V30 minimum.
DJI recommends the following :
SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB V30 A2 microSDXC
SanDisk High Endurance 64GB V30 microSDXC
SanDisk Extreme 64GB V30 A2 microSDXC
SanDisk Extreme 128GB V30 A2 microSDXC
SanDisk Extreme 256GB V30 A2 microSDXC
Lexar 667x 64GB V30 A2 microSDXC
Lexar High-Endurance 64GB V30 microSDXC
Samsung EVO Plus (Yellow) 64GB microSDXC
Samsung EVO Plus (Red) 64GB microSDXC
Samsung EVO Plus 128GB microSDXC
Samsung EVO Plus 256GB microSDXC
Kingston V30 128GB microSDXC
Netac 256GB A1 microSDXC
