Pro+ micro SD card won't fit into drone

NEW ORLEANS SAILING · Mar 13, 2017

New owner, love this machine, but the micro SD card won't go into the slot on the drone. Fits the controller just fine but WILL NOT!! slip into the camera. Frustrating!

What happens when you attempt to insert it? Are you sure you're inserting it correctly? It should be inserted upside down.

Yes, some times when it's not perfectly lined up, it won't go. Like Msinger mentioned it goes in upside down. Play with it.. try a different card and check.

Dang I'm getting dizzy standing on my head trying to put this SD card in......

I am a "new pilot" and have had exactly the same problem. The P4P came with a 16 gb micro sd and I've changed to 32gb and it will only fit in upside down/pins up mode . Strange, as that is contrary to the Instruction Manual !

FYI, here's what the P4P manual shows:

Maybe you're holding the manual upside down?

Sheesh does that mean you think you fly the drone upside down too!!

Maybe the manual is written for us down under?

You must be right because I certainly didn't have a problem ;-)

Nothing new from the OP, my guess is he had an "Oh, Crap" moment.

I used on old rusty circular saw to try to remove about 1/256" from my microSD card so it could fit a little easier.

I STILL cannot get it to go in the little slot. But that is probably because I no longer have any fingers... to speak of.
