was wondering what would be a good micro card for our unit?
I'm looking at these 3:

thanks in advance!

Samsung 64GB PRO Class 10 Micro SDXC up to 90MB/s with Adapter (MB-MG64DA/AM)

Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC 633x 64GB UHS-I/U3 Flash Memory Card LSDMI64GBBNL633R

I'm using the Sandisk Extreme Plus (the second one you have listed). Anything  class 10- UHC 1 or faster will work just fine.. Essentially all of these cards will work perfectly as they all are able to write above 60mbps . Save the extra money for more batteries.

I agree and I am using the Sandisk Extreme Plus 32 & 64gig chip too

cool! thanks everyone.
Chris, yea good point. i was just curious how good the extreme pro is over the plus. will probably go with extreme plus. Samsung makes great cards too. i currently have the lexar nsgHowellNJ- hey wan't to fly around Monmouth battle field ?

The only difference you would notice between the pro and plus would be you would save a few seconds offloading the video to your computer after filming (assuming you have usb 3.0. If you only have usb 2.0 it will make no difference)... Filming wise and photography wise all three cards will do the same thing. Many people like the samsung cards too.

I stick with Sandisk just because they have been doing memory cards since the beginning and I've never had an issue with them. Brand name is personal preference though.. These days half the cards are rebranded anyways.  Hope this helps.

I have two of these:

They work flawlessly in all video formats and in RAW on the Inspire

I have a tip that is useful: doesn't matter how fast your card is, its best to fill it up, taking off footage from time to time until its full and then REFORMATTING the card. Piecemeal deletions of video gave me all sorts of failures when recording at 1080p, 50 fps on a GoPro3 using a 45 Mbps rated card. Apparently this is a known issue with GoPros and I don't know if this also applies to the Inspire but I'd suggest not taking chances with important footage. This doesn't apply to stills which have a far lower data transfer rate. Would appreciate other's experience here.

Here is another tip that might be useful.  I purchased several cards because on a recent trip, after shooting at locations several miles apart, I realized that if I had a fly away I would lose the footage from a previous location.  I place a new card in at each location.  One other thing, with the Phantom and a hard landing, I have had the card pop out into weeds never to be seen again.  I really wish there was a way to cover the card slot for security.

SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro microSDXC UHS-I U3 Card - 95 MB/s

I use this, pretty dam quick

Don't know if its the best but I bought 2 32gig SanDisk Extreme Pro microSDHC UHS-I Card 95 MB/s Read Speed and 90 MB/s Write speed lots of cards will show there read speed which is always faster but in small print there write speed. I have noticed any lag speed while it was writing to the card so. So far so good

Mike

thanks svencool! after reading your post i went ahead and ordered the 64gB extreme Pro. I want to try it as well since you haven't exp any issues

+1 on this.  Great card.

I'm using Delkin Devices 64GB microSDXC 660X UHS-I U3 Memory from B&H

Scott,
ugh! now i want a samsung will probably order one next payday.

isn't the 16g that comes with it sufficient? it should get like 36min record time at 4k, right? that's double the time the Inspire can fly for . . .

I bought the Samsung 64gb micro-SD card but found that neither my Inspire 1 or Phantom Vision will format the card.  What am I missing?  I had high hopes for this card!!

You may need to format the card with a PC to Fat32. Am I right here folks?

Lexar High-Performance MicroSDXC 633x 64GB UHS-I/U3 Flash Memory Card LSDMI64GBBNL633R

Yes I use this card also.

Haven't seen a faster card yet, but they are developing all the time.

Just noted that Lexar are now selling a 128GB card, which will be fantastic when DJI increase the battery performance and flight times.

I go the opposite from all above and get great results by using 8gb Class 10 Micro SDXC cards First, they are cheap and work GREAT. Second, they outlast a battery and when I land to change battery, I simply pop in the next card. I get these for around $11 each, so 8 cards are cheaper than a 64 and more useful to me.
Here's the real reason: I travel with a Surface Pro2 and am able to check my footage quickly for capture of my intended shots, so if I have to  revisit any, I'm aware before it's too late. Granted, I do not take alot of stills in RAW when I fly, but if a plan to do so, I use a 16gb card to accomodate the additional files.

skyvideoct, the surface pro2 has no issues with 4k playback?

Agree, smaller cards and change often. Much safer.

surface pro2 has no issues with 4k playback

No problem at all w/ usb adapter. I shoot in MP4 30 as a general rule and I'm able to pop the chip in and see quickly my video before taking off again and can reference the shots to "fill-in" the points/perspectives I may have missed on the first go-around. With over 90 flights so far, it's just the way I do things now as a habit.

Extremely fast and was one of the highest recommended card for the GoPro.

Everything I've heard was the the Inspire will only support 64GB.  Do you happen to know if it will support 128GB yet?  I agree this would be really awesome.

Don't think it will support any cards over 64GB.

I recently used this Lexar 64GB card and the iOS App displayed a message indicating  slow card.  It would only record video up to 8seconds and no stills.  Changed a battery and it seemed to be fine although still had problems with recording still image.

I have now reformatted the card and will test again.  Also just purchased a Lexar 32GB High Performance Micro SDHC UHS-I U1 Card 300x - 45MB/s  that comes with an adapter, so will check this out when it arrives.  Got this 32Gb with the adapter so that I could use with a apple sd card reader and download photos and video straight on to the iPad.

thanks. FYI i bought the 64gb lexar and extreme pro plus NO DIFFERENCE. thinking about trying a samsung.

I thought someone said that anything capable of recording over 60mb/s if you are using 4k would not be noticeably different. However, a faster card will move the large video files off the micro SD card faster if your PC can handle it.

I use the Lexar above for my P3Pro and I'm in Howell as well and typically fly at the Battlefield or Manasquan Reservoir every weekend.  

I've been using second tier brands like Transcend and NMicro. (Rather than going for the SanDisk and Lexar) and have had no problems. The Transcend HC1-U3 (at 300x) 32GB card runs about $20 and has worked like a champ. The NMicro (clocking in at about the same as the Lexar) 32GB runs about $30.  Haven't had any issues at all and have twice as many cards as I would if I bought the more name brand versions.

This is what I use works great, formats fine,  SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB UHS-I/U3 Micro SDXC Memory Card Speeds Up To 95MB/s With 4K Ultra HD Ready-SDSDQXP-064G-G46A

Is the card that came with the Inspire insufficient ? Are these other, faster cards, really necessary ?  Of course besides the memory capacity.  Is the video recording, the pictures you take,  etc. better with these cards ?

i find samsung, lexar 64/95mb/s and extreme pro  64 are all about the same as far as performance. lexar i find very durable, i dropped mine in snow and found it 2 months after i lost it, slightly buried in soil but worked like how it was when i got it brand new

Format with the camera through the DJI app .

There are a lot of good memory card options here:

I have 2 Sandisk 64GB Extreme  Pro cards that worked fine in my Phantom 3, but will not work in my Inspire 1.  I was told in another forum that there is an issue with 64gb cards with the inspire.  When I used the 64 gb cards, after 4 minutes of flying, I noticed the slider was switching back and forth from video to photo on the app.  The inspire 1 was unable to format the card.  Formatted both cards in PC fine, then put into Inspire and it formatted the cards, but same would happen after about 4 minutes again.

So I tried the 16gb card that came with the inspire and al is well.

How are you guys using 64gb cards?
