Hi all

I bought a Phantom 3 Standard on ebay. First flight, no problem – apart from SD card error.

I first tried the Sony SD card the owner had inadvertently left in the case. No luck. In any case, he said he had never used that in the Phantom.

So I bought another – the Kingston pictured.

Same error.

I have attached the pics.

Any thoughts. Am I just using completely inappropriate SD cards – and if so which cards should I use – or is there a problem with the camera hardware? Note I have tried to format the cards both in the Phantom and on my Mac.

Thanks

Hey thanks both for the replies. Appreciated. I will provide further information when I fire up the beast. Hopefully today.
 
I've had issues when the card already has some PC files on it (especially hidden system folders/files). My pre-flight check always includes a 'format SD' just before take-off.

So the issue for me was an unsuitable card it seems as a new SD card seems to work. Araya38 thanks for flagging up Litchi
Be interested to hear more about your experience using that.
