That is only a U1 rated card. Not really usefull for 4K recording. You can find more info here - Speed Class Standards for Video Recording - SD Association
Most will want a U3 rated card. If a U1 card works for you then this is a great deal.

It may work OK on older drones, the newest seems to require a fast U3 card.

OUTSTANDING INFO! I have been buying my cards based on the number in the circle and never looked at the U number. Thanks!

.Is faster and I stoped having issues after switching to them .
At the moment these are the ones I am using PNY U3 PRO Elite MicroSD Card - 64GB - P-SDUX64U395PROE-GE

If you poke around that site I linked you will find an SD card tool that is a free download. I use it for all my SD cards. Lots of good info on that site.

My machine..Mavic Air..( August 2018 Purchase ) Writes 4K video at 100MBS..

I think you mean 100Mbps, that is bits, not Bytes. That is about 12MBps

The write speed for this card seems to be around 90MBps, which is very good, and more than enough for any of the DJI models recording with H264 or H265 codecs.

 

[With The Birds]

The Mavic Air writes 4K video at 100MB/S...your card needs to be greater than that.. I am using the new Amplin 32GB SDHC UHS-11 U3 V30 Class 10 1900X 285MB/S..look at the picture and read the chart...View attachment 103882 View attachment 103882 View attachment 103883

Can you get more than 5mins of 4K (100mb/s) video on that card? That’s all you would get at 100MB/s.... It’s bits, not bytes. No question.

That's correct.

If the chip speed is too slow, your $35 chip may be worthless for drone video capture. I find that the Sandisk Extreme Plus speed works fine. A 64-GB capacity has enough capacity for 3 batteries of flight time with my Mavic 2 Pro.

Capital MB/s=bytes....not bits...Google the definition of MB/s...fact check your opinion as other people may think you know what you are talking about and promote incorrect information..Thank you for you input

Simple question was- can you get more than 5mins of 100mb/s if video on that card?

With respect sir, you are the latest of many who have been confused by the terminology.
Most are also confused between read speed and write speed, though it appears you understand that aspect.

Of course, the truth is that a Mavic Air has a max bitrate of 100 Mb/s. That equals 12 MB/s. It clearly does not write video at 100 MB/s as you noted earlier.

Careful.... You might become another promoter of false facts....

If he doesn’t need a 120 Gig card for every flight (assuming he is shooting 4K) he definitely has his big M’s and little m’s mixed up.

WOW...I am totally wrong...Mavic Air = Max Video Bitrate100Mbps..that is bits not bytes..Thank you all for taking me to school..I am now less IGNORANT>>>

Your welcome- knew you would get there.... That was my intent in giving you a practical example. Let you perform your own fact check so to speak absent attitude and unnecessary agro.

Notwithstanding looks to be an absolute ball tearer of a card you have got. Getting the files off the card should be very quick.

Yes 37.5 minutes

What good are these for the Phantom? They are SD, not Micro SD.

I received this Memory card today, and you are right..this is not a micro SD..I am returning it...

Sorry..Everything about this discussion has been incorrect..This Memory card is not a Micro SD and will not work in my Phantom 3 or my new Mavic Air..Please SCRUB all that info so as not to mislead anyone..
