Hi all. I am quite a new pilot slowly finding my way around my new MA and learning how use some of the amazing facilities it has. After reading many posts on the best type of SD card for my MA I bought four, 32gb Sandisk Extreme Pros allegedly suitable for 4k. However when I put them in my MA it tells me the card is too slow for 4k. any advice, What have a missed? I have bought the wrong card. I thought I had done all the right research but something is obviously not right.

Seems to me, that the card is fine by spec??
Try another one or take the drone back?

It might be possible that the card is fake, as I have bought a fake card on ebay.
Also the higher capacity cards do have a faster write speed.IMG_20190203_101739083.jpg

Perfectly fine by spec but you got scammed, those are fake cards.
The writing on the package is all borked with typos, letter spacing is completely messed up on the "shoot, work and play like a pro", and the picture of the phone is all pixelated becasue they just made a poor copy of it.

I actually opened one of those today...

Thank you all very much. General consensus, I have been had and have bought fake cards. Thanks for the photo Kilrah, I can see what you mean now comparing my packaging with the photo you posted. I have already arranged to return the cards and will look more closely at my next purchases. Once again many thanks.
 
Might be a good idea to let everyone know where that crud came from so it can be avoided by other folks. Please!
