Hello, today after removing the micro sd from the Mavic 3 when I slipped it into the slot it no longer holds up and comes out. What I do?

I've had this before, it's a small metal piece that deforms in the card receptacle if you put it askew. Send your drone for repair. If it's under warranty it won't cost you anything.

Thanks LV_Foreste, no it's not like that, I've always been very careful to insert the micro SD in the right direction, I've had the Mavic 3 for a year and I'm very meticulous. However, I have to say this is a big design mistake on DJI's part. Micro SD memory is too delicate and a very important element for a drone. When you need to download a lot of movies you can't turn on the Mavic 3 for a long time, you're forced to extract the micro SD and save the movies with your PC. However, this operation will ruin the micro SD connector for a long time.

Thank you DJI Gamora but I have recently applied for category C1 and I am waiting for the stickers to continue the procedure. I'll wait until I finish to get the certificate and then I'll send the Mavic 3 for service. But I repeat this was a big design mistake on DJI's part. You shouldn't have used a micro SD but a normal SD. In all cameras SD is used and never the micro SD (Canon Nikon etc)

Realistically have you seen an SD card in ANY modern drone?
In the sub 250g category I'd bet the card and holder would put a Mavic Mini over weight.

Our friend may be a bit old like me, and it's true that it's not always easy to insert this little card. If it is not straight and you press a little too hard, it is guaranteed to break.
Unfortunately / Fortunately it is also true that we are not ready to see the reappearance of SD cards in place of the micro which have become the norm.

We are using flying machines, mSD's fly when your nail slips off them and disappear into the ditance .... just like a runaway drone.
SD cards just plummet to the ground.
