Largest size micro SD card for Mavic Pro

[RFlagg]

Hey folks
I was wondering if there was any information about the memory card for the Mavic Pro What comes with it and what is the biggest size it will take
I see a 128GB class10 at microcenter for cheap if that would work
What do you think

I've got a 256GB one I'm going to have available once I turn in my Note 7. I'll let folks know if that works--though I'm thinking it may not, given the max for the Phantom 4 was 64GB I believe.

I think I'd stay away from "cheap" cards. Learn why. Google is your friend.

Let me google that for you

I could of sworn I saw somewhere that said up to a 64gb card..?

Edit: Yep.. straight from DJIs Mavic info page..

Supported SD Card Types Micro SD™
Max capacity: 64 GB. Class 10 or UHS-1 rating required

Bigger isn't always better.
You only need about 8-10 GB to hold a whole flight of full 4K video or over 3000 jpg photos.
It makes a lot more sense to have several 16GB cards and swap out between flights so that you don't risk losing precious work every time you fly.

What comes with it

It comes with a 16GB memory card. I'm not sure of the brand, but I'm guessing it's a Lexar 633x.

Per the Mavic manual upto 64GB MAX, just like the Phantoms

Can you save to your cell phone, or do you have to save to the Mavic SD drive?

 

[msinger]

You can save a lower quality version of the video on your phone. The full resolution videos/photos will always be stored on the memory card in the Mavic.

What is the lower quality? 1080p?

 

[msinger]

It should be between 720p to 1080p depending on the distance between the aircraft and remote controller.

And like msinger wrote, the speed of the card is more important than the size.

I have a 128GB Sandisk Extreme in my P3A, so I don't see why the Mavic would really be restricted to 64GB?

Actually, I would get a few smaller ones instead, each large enough to store a full flight's video and photos, assuming the highest resolution (16 GB). This makes your data safer when flying multiple times, for example when on vacation.

Yes -- don't just go with the cheapest class 10 memory card available. The difference in price between most memory cards is small, so go with a memory card that writes at least at 40MB/s (which is what DJI usually provides).

The P3A specs also show the max capacity is 64GB. However, I don't think it'll actually be restricted either.

Very good
Thank you all for the input I will avoid going cheap with the Mavic Pro

msinger - thanks for the list

I had not considered the "loss" factor, but that makes a lot of sense - thank you!
