I've been searching the web for the Kingston Canvas React Plus (64GB<->256GB) UHS-II Speed Grade 3 that is listed as one of the "compatible" microSD cards.  Not available from any of the usual suspects (Amazon, B&H, Adorama, WalMart, blah blah).  There isn't even anything of this sort listed on the Kingston website !!! (Only the SD sizes/version).  

I've always been partial to, perferred SanDisk Extremes, but only the 32GB is listed as "compatible".... I want more storage.


Any suggestions?  Or if you've been running larger volume SanDisk's, share the spec and your experience...
Osmo Pocket 3
FWIW, I'm using the Sandisk Extreme "64GB" in my original Pocket (-1-) ... same spec as the 32... can't figure out why it's not listed as ok as well.

I use a SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro UHS-1 uXDSC U3 A2 V30 without a problem (no overheating). I use the same in my Action 4.

Thank you.
... starting a list :-)
[Edit on 10/31 CST (US)] ... after reading the long 'overheating' thread it looks like some strong opinions both ways (fast/slow cards ... do/do not ... correlate to heating. ]

I use either a SanDisk 256GB Extreme Pro UHS-I A2 V30 or a SanDisk 512GB Extreme Pro UHS-1 A2 V30.  No issues using either card.  Both have 90MB/s write speed and 160MB/s read speed.  

Not sure why they aren't listed as "compatible".  Maybe DJI just didn't test them.

Regrettably the DJI "Store" also lacks most of the recommended versions, especially the aforementioned "Canvas React Plus".  (Others have noted in other forums that it can't be found or listed as Not Available..)

I've just finished reading a lengthy thread on some random overheating problems that "some" are attributing to using cards not listed as approved/compatible.

Mod... is it possible that some cards (that were ok for other cameras) are excluded because of overheating matters?  Can you answer "why" the list of approved is so small?

Having tried different cards without overheating, I don't think the card is the problem.

You're welcome for my support.  I appreciate that you formed a prompt reply.

You must understand that it seems wholly unexplainable -to many of us- that we cannot use memory cards that work very well (and are approved for) use in our Original Pocket and Pocket 2!  What could be so difficult to simply evaluate the same SanDisk (for example) that you approved for them, for the new Pocket 3 ??!!  It would be so nice if I could confidently simply move cards from the old pocket to the new one.

Thanks for listening.
