What's the max size of memory card I could use with Phantom 4?
Brand name and the amount of gigs?
Thanx

I believe max card size for the P4 is the same as the other Phantom models, 64GB, but others here can confirm that. There have been some who have used a 128GB card but, it's not clear if all 128GB can be accessed by the card reader in the Phantom. Card brand is probably less important than card speed/class. You'll need a Class 10 or UHS-1 class card rated at 60 mbps at a minimum.

Officially 64GB, but some users have reported OK with 128. Me, I would rather have 2 X 64 GB than a 128.
I use a san disk ultra 64GB with no problems. As RunningWith Scissors states speed/ class is most important.

I fully agree, and that's a very good point that I didn't mention here. Even IF a 128 GB card was fully writeable by the Phantom card reader, if something were to happen (loss of drone), you've lost all that previous video. The drone can be replaced. The video can't. I've lost some video and stills from various shoots that can never be replaced at any price. Better to have 2 x 64 gb cards. Thanks for reminding me of that very valuable point.

Thank u. I'll do a couple 64gb cards.

Like @Jayfdee, I've been using SanDisk cards for years and never had a problem with the cards, but everyone has their own brand preference.
