What works for one, may not work for others, but after transferring the contents of the drones DCIM folder to hard drive, I always format the microSD through the flight app camera menu when it's back in the drone. So far: 5 years with the original card and not a problem.The guides that I have read do not mention where, when, or how to format the MicroSD cards. What’s the bottom line?
After downloading the SD data from the card to my computer in a named folder- example ("Lake picts June 20,2024") I replace the SD card back into he done and format it using the RC. It has never failed for me.The guides that I have read do not mention where, when, or how to format the MicroSD cards. What’s the bottom line?
This usually works, no problem. In the event you experience any problem, you have the option to try a reformat to fix it.Besides formatting initially, I have never bothered to format the cards in the drone. I dump the files in the trash and empty the trash. After that, I'm back up to full capacity. I've never had a problem with any of the cards except putting in a slow one accidentally but it actually still worked. I always use SanDisk cards.
Just curious, if you don't have a computer, what do you do with the pictures/videos files?Thanks. I’ll look in the camera settings to see if I find a command.
I don’t have too many options. I haven’t touched a computer since ‘04 when I retired.
Congratulations on retiring young, in Florida no less. Can't fault you for giving up computers but sounds like one could come in handy bout now.Thanks. I’ll look in the camera settings to see if I find a command.

My Mavic 3 Pro will not properly format the Samsung 512gb card, I already know this. Format it on the drone and the start recording and the files look like they are present but they are useless. Format the card in a Computer and all is fine. At first it was a hassle but now that I am used to it....I always format in the Drone.
Never had a problem……..yet lol
If formatted in the drone (with a Mavic 3 ... possibly other models too?) you cannot recover any deleted files.My Mavic 3 Pro will not properly format the Samsung 512gb card, I already know this.
