Yes, I reformatted the card in the aircraft. tried 2 different cards and both have the same problem.
Incidentally, I'm using the 64Gb cards and I have seen comments about 32Gb being more reliable. Which size do you use?
It's entirely your choice, regarding card capacity. My Mavic Pro records 4k @ 60Mb/s. For that I get 9 minutes and 20 seconds per 4GB file (system limitation under FAT32, but no frames are lost).
For the Air recording at 100Mb/s it would get proportionally less time (say five minutes 40 seconds per 4GB memory ?).
So a 32 GB card would hold 'about' 45 minutes of 4k video (three batteries ? ) , 32GB might work well for you for a flying session using a couple of spare batteries. It's still a lot of video to lose if chip gets lost or goes faulty. But if that were a concern the 16GB or swap out on battery change is another option.
I usually use the 32GB Sandisk Extreme cards without issue. They're cheap enough now.
