Mini SE SD card

[Drone Daddy]

How can I tell if my Mini SE will record on my SD card?

Test it.
'Record' a test video and or take a test photo, MAKE SURE to stop recording before switching the drone off. Switch the drone off, remove the card from the drone, put the card in a reader attached to a computer etc. and see it the video is playable and or the photo is viewable.
You might need to check if your equipment can play high resolution videos and or reduce the recording resolution and you might need to look into the recording codec that is used. You might need to google the latter or wait for others to explain it.

Yes... a test will help you determine that.
However I would advise that you purchase cards that are designated to support a Mini 2 or better so you know that you're well within the minimum specification.

Here is a deal for $22. PNY U3 rated 3 pack of 64GB cards. I've used PNY cards with no issues. I like Samsung EVO Select that are pretty much in the same ballpark. Keep one in your case (in case you forget to reload your drone/case), one in the drone and an extra spare. This set is cheap enough for just about anyone. Never had a failure with this brand.

That’s a great deal!

That’s a great deal!

With a SE these 64gb cards will record a LOT of material before filling up. If you do what many of us do and off-load the data from the cards after every filming event you'll almost never run out of space.

I use this in my Mini 2 . Excellent card for the money. Rated 5 starts in more than 4500 reviews.

Just a point, the OP refers to "my SD card" which means he already owns the card and likely has it in his possession..

Thanks for the info. I thought this unit would have icon showing it's in use but in camera setup it says to configure and shows available. Got it, it's working.
