Yes tried both playing from the card and saving it to desktop & then playing and same result for both also tried both H.264 & h.265 same with each.
 
No just tried a windows laptop with vlc & gom media players and again each stutters on playback yet when I put the card into a Samsung galaxy s7 the playback is smooth
 
Its sounding like a SD card issue.

Im still struggling to find one its happy with.
 
I've ordered a Sandisk Extreme Pro to see if that works.

If not i'll try the 32 or maybe 64gb version of Samsung (128 is too big).
 
128 gb is not supported for mavic 2 pro?

128gb is supported.

I have no problem playing 4K d-log file directly from a 128gb SanDisk card in a 2014 Macbook Pro. Since I edit on apple I use .MOV container type.

I dislike removing the SDHC card from the mavic. I wish I could transfer H.265 files directly from the drone.

You can - both SD and the internal storage appear as removable drives when plugged in.

It supports up to 128gb i think. But a 128gb is far too big for my needs. I want smaller ones i can swap in case one gets lost or corrupted.

I choose 128gb because I want to be able to record continuously for three batteries and have a comfortable margin to spare. Plus like many shooters I don't normally reuse cards while on a trip, so that potentially requires a lot of card capacity.

My workflow is to have files in two places while traveling, plus do a continuous cloud upload of anything special. Using prepaid (no contract) phone plan allows me to switch to a premium unlimited data plan during times when I'm creating a lot of good footage and stills. Losing a camera bag to theft also usually means losing the laptop.
 

My understanding is that iOS won't copy files it can't read, like H.265 video files. Perhaps there is some trick, but in my experience iOS just ignores the files on the card. In my experience it won't even copy .DNG files, which it can display, if there is a jpeg also present on the card.

The workaround is just to shoot H.264. So far I'm not impressed with d-log, so I may just do that. The "Hasselblad" false warmth in d-log and DNG stills is really annoying. I can undo the color cast in post, but I don't see the point so far.
