The Puzzle…
You have: 1 - 128GB SD card 1 - 64GB SD card 1 - 16GB SD card (the one that comes with the P4P)
…and you have: - a Phantom 4Pro - DJI Goggles - an Android Phone (for now) (you will upgrade to a Samsung Tab A later, and solely dedicate it to drone ops)
Objective: In what device do you put which Micro SD card?
My solution: 16GB in the P4P – reason, if anything (God forbid) happens to the bird you won’t lose an expensive card with it 64GB in the Goggles – reason, holds enough video/photos to capture and view for several missions 128GB in the Phone/Tablet – reason, plenty of storage for downloaded video/photos, flight data, maps, and other app data requirements
For you knowledgeable and/or experienced operators: Does this configuration make sense? If not, what is a better configuration?
Free for all question: If you had any choice in SD card memory size, other than the above, what sizes would you use and in what devices would you put them? Keep in mind larger memory size means higher costs, so be mindful of spending as if money is no object i.e. be reasonable.
Bonus question>>Also, how important is it to have onboard storage in the drone, during flight, and if it is necessary/crucial then what is the minimum size needed that can cover several missions before you have to download it to free it back up?
Enjoy…look forward to hearing what everyone thinks
