RC 2 MicroSd card ?

For clarity, the internal 32GB is inclusive of the operating system and all app files, which leaves less than 10GB free for any internal "storage." The internal microSD slot is the solution to expanding the available storage to greater than 10GB.

And I - as well as others, apparently - cannot save screen recordings to the SD card. Screen recordings always save to the internal memory, regardless setting it to save to SD.
As of now, still haven't found a use for the SD card in the controller.

The main reason is that you can move the pictures/videos from the bird to the controller for viewing and editing. Not everyone moves them to a 'puter.
You can still move screen recordings from the internal memory to the microSD card after each flight, if necessary, to keep sufficient internal memory for the next screen recording.
It's handy for when you forget to put a card in the drone after copying files to your computer.

That saved me two days ago. I recommend keeping one in there even if you are not using it.
If you are using it for extra internal storage, maybe back it up with a copy at home, after each drone download, because before using it for flying, it will need to be reformatted, losing any stored data.

Nah, I put it in there thinking I might use it. But never have. Until two days ago, when it saved my bacon.
It's also a good way to "sneaker net" transfer of files from the internal RC storage to a computer without a cable, as any screen recordings appear to be limited to being recorded on the limited internal 32GB, from which they can then be moved to the external storage.
