Has anyone used the Lexar Professional 1800x microSDXC 128GB UHS-II Micro SD Card on the Inspire 2 with success recording video and stills (non-Raw)?  I'm trying to find the best Micro SD Card out there and this has pretty darn good specs from what I can see.  The stats on the card state: 270MB/s read, 110MB/s write.  I'm guessing this should be adequate for the Inspire 2.  Hopefully will get some feedback from you all that are Inspire 2 users.  Thanks in advance.

Let me also throw this microSD card out to you as well - SANDISK EXTREME PRO® microSDXC™ UHS-II CARD.  The stats on this card is very similar to that of the Lexar card I sited above.  The downside of the SANDISK product it is almost double the price.  I guess what my question here is am I getting that much more performance out of the SANDISK Card over the the Lexar on the Inspire 2.  Please remember that I'm using this with non-RAW recording.

DJI Manual recommends the SAMSUNG SDXC PRO+ Memory Card 128GB card.  Unfortunately the stats on this card are much slower then that are the SANDISK and LEXAR.  Does anyone have any experience with these specific SANDISK or LEXAR Micro SD Cards on the Inspire 2 shooting non raw footage and stills?

i'm using the Samsung on my I2 already i have had no issues with it at all.

I don;t think the Inspire 2 (nor any DJI product) uses the HC-II cards? These contain 2 rows of contacts not only one (like HC-I)?

I agree. I made the mistake with my video recorder of buying the fastest card available. The SD card in the inspire needs a max of 100Mbps not 100MBps write. Most companies report read speed, just make sure write speed is above say 50MBps and you should be fine.
I have the SanDisk 128GB Extreme micro SDXC UHS-1 90MBps(read speed) card.

Got it Rex.  I thought I had to have the read and write at least 100.

Matt ... is this the SANDISK Card you are recommending?

Dr. John .... so you are not seeing any degradation writing non RAW Video and Stills to SAMSUNG SDXC PRO+ Memory Card 128GB even though it is slightly below the 100mb/second right?

Thank you skyeyeguy ... I believe this is how the HC-II cards are getting the speeds they are getting but if the Inspire 2 does not get those speeds then it is worthless for me to go that route.  I appreciate the feedback.

Yes, that is what I have. Reading the link it says up to 90MBps write 95 read and cheaper than your original pick.

Rex65 ... thank you very much for confirming.  I really appreciate your response.

Have any of you guys experienced issues with video quality when shooting 1080 at 60P?  No matter what codec or card my X4S footage at the frame rate in 1080 is totally useless.

I will try this weekend and get back with you.  I never shot 1080P 60fps as of yet.
