Since I just got my Mavic on Weds, it's still the OEM Lexar 633x 16gb - seems to shudder somewhat on recorded video.

Recommendations on a much better 32 or 64 gb one?

Well, technically it shouldn't. Sandisk Extreme would do nicely, the latest of that card will do 60MB/s vs ~10MB/s for the Lexar. I am recording 4K@30fps with no issue.

SanDisk - Extreme PLUS 128GB

Can you actually use all of the 128GB on the Mavic? Its spec sheet indicates a maximal capacity of 64GB.

Extreme PLUS or PRO seems like an overkill to me, at least for the Mavic as its maximal video bitrate is 60 Mbps which is 7.5 MB/s on write (plus some overhead).

I hit submit by mistake and it won't let me edit after 2 minutes.

Sandisk Extreme 64GB - 90MB/s Read, 60MB/s Write
Sandisk Extreme PLUS 64GB - 95MB/s Read, 90MB/s Write
Sandisk Extreme PRO 64GB - 275MB/s Read, 100MB/s Write

So they will all handle video recording fine, the only difference to you will be transferring video to your computer. For 64GB of file, it will take ~11minutes for the Extreme and ~4 Minutes for the Extreme PRO. You will have to decide if the cost would justify the added benefit.

Ditto. I did get a sd card warning the first time putting it in, but a format made it go away.
Love it!

How do you know that it shudders? Playing recorded video on my Mac Pro shows shudder but that is caused by computer not by recorded video. E.g., often using VLC instead of Quicktime player eliminates the shudder. Also when exporting/compressing to Youtube 4K that shudder (visible in Quicktime player) disappears.

Sandisk Extreme Plus 32g & 64g, and Extreme Pro 64g.  They work very well for now.  I'm still in pre edit mode, so stay tuned.
