Not fast enough for 4K video. A U3 card is what is required to handle the write speeds of the Mini 2.

Ideal is UHS-I U3.
It'll tell you if it's too slow.

Thanks guys. If I was to use it would it just record in HD or not save video at all

Even though the speed of a U3 card is required to record in 4K..... there are free programs for Windows and Mac that can test the read/write speed of your cards. I have found that many class 10/U1 cards are just as fast or faster than the cheaper U3s that I own. Buy quality eliminate the worry.

The class of a MicroSD is the minimum speed and not indicative of its maximum speed.

Usually the MicroSD card will record at whatever resolution you have the Mini 2 set for including 4K..... but the drone will complain about it sometimes and there can be visible problems in your video.

The SanDisk Ultra you have is rated for 10 MB/s minimum. The Mini 2 has a maximum bitrate of 100Mbps which translates to 12.5MB/s. MicroSD cards are inexpensive nowadays, Buy a quality U3 card and eliminate the worry.

Sure, but some cameras will simply check the card type and pop a warning/not let you record in some modes if it's not an U3, even if it's just as fast or faster.
