Forgot my memory card!

[Clampit]

Hi all,

Don't know if anyone else has done this but what do you think total plonker....

I drove 2 hours to a remote spot to get some great pics I was getting paid from my company, well travel expenses for my fuel which was ok

Fired up my phantom, started flying around to get the best photo, wow that would beeeee a great picture pressed the button on my FPV screen & got a error message saying "no memory card installed"......................................................................................................l

Yes you guessed it, left the bloody thing at home

Total knob head! 2 hour drive for nothing. Didn't tell a sole what I'd done, toooooooo embarrassed

Has anyone else done this?

I have yet to forget a memory card, but there was one time where we drove 2 hours outta town for a family bbq and I was all excited to show off my new FPV system. Popped open my travel case, unpacked everything and realized.....I had forgotten all my props. I was only able to show off what it WOULD have looked like flying. Needless to say, several pairs of props are now safely tucked away in my travel case!

As long as you don't leave home, without your pants on...

It's all good... ;-)

No one got arrested, for forgetting the Phantom props or memory cards...
But try leaving home with no drawers... ;-)
Bet you don't forget a second time...

Hahaha, that could have been a Fatal error...

Remember Mrs.John Bobbitt? She hacked it off with a butcher knife...

Lest we forget!!

I've done it a few times myself but I just take the sd card out of either my phone or tablet instead

 

[Mako79]

It's usually still stuck in the PC.
Get a bit of sticky tape and tape the spare card to the back of the controller.

I was a kid and I remember hearing it on the radio on the way to school.
They played this all day

Fyod,
Yikes, what a wonderful way for you, to remember that awful incident.
Hopefully, no one here, will ever... Well you know,
Forget the wife at home, and just go flying... ;-)

Guess it depends on the phone you have but i would have taken the card in my phone and used it.

 

[Ezookiel]

I learned the hard way just like you did.
Now I have a piece of red ribbon in my Phantom Case.
When I remove the SD card from the GoPro, I tie the ribbon to the handle.
I don't remove the ribbon till the SD card is back inside the GoPro on the Phantom.
Go to grab the case, and the red ribbon is an immediate alert.

Yep that's what I do too.

 

[Clampit]

Yep when I got home it was in the card reader on my desk.... No good there


Spare card in my phantom case now not going through beating my self up where I was.. If anyone was about they must have thought I was nuts watching me flapping arms, kicking things.........
