This is likely my fault for flying in winds that were gusting above 5mph - although when I tested with my anemometer before flying it was between 2.5 to 3+.  My Smart Controller suddenly showed No SD in mid flight.  So I brought my Aviary down - the name of my Phantom 4 - and sure enough no SD card.  The only thing that comes to mind is that a gust of wind hit it at precisely the right angle causing it to popout.  From now on I will fly with a piece of tape across the slot, windy or not.  I lost some good footage on that card.  Fortunate for me however is only the footage I captured during this outing is what I lost.

Just wanted to share this as FYI.
This happen to anyone else?

Cheers
