Hi, I just bought a SanDisk Extreme 128GB microSDXC UHS-3 Card instred it into my Mavic Air drone, but it doesn't see it and the footage/images don't get saved on it. Instead, they all go to the internal drive, which obviously is not enough if you're shooting in 4k. How can record the footage/images on the card instead of the internal drive?

I'm not a Air owner and don't know much about that drone. But here DJI Thor shows something about SD cards for it.

Have you tried another card?

Not yet, don't have another micro SD card, but I'll try it this week.

I take it the Air doesn't come with a card?  If I could offer a suggestion I would recommend 2 64GB or 4 32GB cards instead of a single 128GB card.  The reason being if you have a card issue you have another on hand & if you lose your drone you don't lose all your videos & photos.

Thank you for the suggestion, you're totally right. aslo, just formatted the card and it helped. Now the drone recognizes it.
