When I purchased my Mavic it came with a Lexar 633x 16GB HC I micro SD card.  I was thinking of replaceing it with a Lexar 1800x 32GB (or 16GB which ever will work the best) HC II micro SD card.

Looking for any feedback from anyone especely DJI.  Thanks.

My feeling is you will spend 3 times the amount and you will not notice the performance at all. The speed of the card that comes with it can support all the recording needs of the Mavic camera. Hope that helps.

Yawn... This topic has been covered SO many times... Do a search, and you will find about 15 threads on this topic, that all say the same thing.

Any card that is rated UHS-I  will work.   I personally like the Sandisk Extreme 32GB are like $15  the 64Gb are $30.  

Make sure you get a USB 3.0 chip reader.  Many people don't get a good reader and then think its the fault of the chip.   Also plug in the chip reader to a 3.0 USB port (the blue one)   or USB-C is better if you got it.


4K video files ARE BIG - too big for many laptops to deal with without pain.

Right, you are SO right.  I did do a search, did find threads, but it is SO argumentative and back and fourth that it really does not make any sense as too which one to use.  Thanks for your reply.

Agreed.  USB 3.0
Also, just looked at it and it says UHS-II on it.  I can assume that the II is better then then I??
