Looking for some advice on a different brand of SD cards. I'm currently using (two) SanDisk Extreme 128GB A2 V30 and one 512GB. Been having a horrible experience with them, ALL the cards I have somehow end up being defective.

This will be the third time returning a card and it's a brand new card I just received from filing a warranty. I'm starting to wonder if it's the camera and not the card, anybody have suggestions?

Hello there united by water. Thank you for reaching out and for these information that you have posted. For reference I will post the list of supported SD card to the DJI Osmo Action below and you may try check our DJI Where To Buy platform on this link ( https://www.dji.com/where-to-buy ) to see if the said micro SD card that you need is available. In addition I hope that you can get some recommendations from our DJI members with regards to this inquiry as well. Thank you.

I used Sandisk 128GB v30 in my OA and had no problem, but now I use Lexar 64GB v30 in my OA.

With all my equipment I have, I have different cards (mostly colors) and 2 of them are different Sandisk, 1 Lexar and 1 Kingston. No problem with any of them.

Only problem I had with my first Sandisk I had (old Class 10), was that it was too slow, so had to upgrade.

Did you buy yours from ebay/amazon etc. or from a true camera store? I mean, there are so many fakes out there (just checking)

B&H. But the thing is, all the cards I have sent back to SanDisk (lifetime warranty on SD cards), I'm now having issues with the new card they just gave me (the 128). I also had a 256 and started to get the same "writing error." SanDisk upgraded me to a 512 out of courtesy. The cards seem to work fine for the first 3-5 months then I get the writing error. The 512 hasn't been giving me any troubles yet, but I'm waiting for it to happen. I picked up a Samsung EVO Select to try.


I'm starting to think something might be wrong with the camera.

This got me actually thinking about a few years ago when I had the same problem with my sd-cards for my dslr. I got new from sandisk and after a while same problem.

Few month later I bought new card-reader, no more problem.
