Well that man made a lot of sense. I have looked at quite a few videos on which Micro SD card I should be using for 4K video on my drone. Every other video I have seen has not been decisive or certain. This guy lays it out loud, clear and puts it simply in lay mans terms. Thank you for a very helpful and clear video. Looking forward to more of your videos.
Beautiful video brother! You could not simplify it more and I’m sure tens of thousands out there feel the confidence when purchasing a micro sdcard for video or pictures. Thank you so much!
You make things so easy to understand that even I get it. Stay at it as I know we always get the straight scoop and your a excellent speaker. Richard Miler, retired Police, State of Michigan
Hey Rick, very useful information for those out there getting confused over the type of memory cards. Once again, you brought this video down to the basics and should be very helpful to everyone, thank you!
Jim, thanks for the post and I'm glad the clip helped explain some of the confusing terms these companies use. I'll have more content posting this week so be sure to sub the channel. Rick
i subscribed to your feed from the beginning, i trust your insight and wealth of knowlege, and objective comparisons, my nephew, who i gave my air to, watches your feeds as well. your opinions are top-knotch in my view, THANK YOU SIR, i am saving for the mavic 2 Pro so i am watching all your insights on that beauty as well 👍🏽
Jim, thanks a lot for supporting the channel and I'm sorry I didn't realize that you were already subscribed. RU-vid doesn't make it easy tell who the comments are posted by and I wish they indicated subscribers with a highlighted tag. I'll be posting a few new Mavic 2 clips this week so be sure and stop back. Rick
Bill, thanks for stopping by and it's great to hear from you. I'll be down in your neck of the woods this weekend on 11/17 and looking to fly. Shoot me an email to see if we can get a little airtime. Rick
Rick, something we may not pay close enough attention to are our memory cards. Great, informative video. After watching it, I inventoried my batch of SD/MicroSD cards and removed a few and ordered a few more (newer/faster) ones. Thanks for putting the word out.
@@jamieslifee On Rick's latest posts when testing Autel Evo 2 & MA2 outdoors he's not reading off a teleprompter! Nope, just natural talent with great knowledge of his subject.
@@jamieslifee I don't 100% know as neither you nor I are present when he's addressing the camera, nor are we clairvoyant, so perhaps Rick may feel inclined to clear the matter up if you're so insistent?
Rick Britton, Thank you Rick, Once again, you always know what I need. Your a amazing Man, My Autel should be at my post office Monday, very excited, I am very thankful 🙏 to know most of my needs and questions is at Drone Valley, Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely Rick From Mo and God bless you and your family
The write speed is the important factor and most cards only state the min read speed, im sure viewers are going to ask what is the difference with a u3 extreme and a u3 extreme pro ;)
Your ourstanding as I was looking for a sd for my Mavic Pro 2 as mine was to slow , went with the sandisc 128gb with a speed grade of 3. Price was excellent and that is what the manual recommended so I probably wont run out of usable space. but since its already ordered the next time I will get the 64. I was having issues in 4k that the sandisc was no fast enough as it was a speed 1 and a older card and went with the three. Your great,
This was an excellent video, I had few cards that worked with my other stuff but didn’t work on the Osmo Pocket, even 64GB from my Mavic Pro 2 didn’t work on Osmo Pocker
Thank you for this very informative and clear explanation of what all the “mumble-jumble” means. Definitely a video to file away and be used as a reference when needed! Cheers.....
I needed this Rick, Until today letters on the SD card were just a bunch of scrambled letters and numbers and I just buy the latest and greatest not knowing what it really means. Thanks for this.
Great video. I used to use all Sandisk but moved over to Samsung. I personally had some problems with Sandisk but never had a issue with Samsung. But there are alot of marketing like you said in the video so find what is right for you.
Don't forget....for video (esp video that "loop" records), you'll want to also look at the memory type each card utilizes. Because, regardless of the the card's speed class, reliability, and longevity, are what we need in a micro SD card. To use a car analogy, which car would you rather have...a car that does 0-60 in 4.0 seconds, but will only do it maybe 500 times before the motor blows . OR, a car that does 0-60 in 7 seconds, at a min of 5,000 times before it even thinks about going south? And it may do it a whole lot more...depending on the build quality. And in regard to SD cards, this applies directly to the quality of the I/O (input/output) controller on the card, and the memory type. Everyone reading this should seriously consider looking for a card with an "MLC memory type", with an "Enterprise, or Industrial" I/O controller type. Personally, I avoid the Sandisk brand like the plague, with one exception. And that's their "Industrial 64GB" card. Heavy duty I/O write controller, with MLC memory. All their other cards are JUNK. A good alternative (the Sandisk "Industrial" cards are hard to find at this late date, in 64GB), is Samsung's "Pro Endurance" MLC U1 cards. Both of these are reliable, and long lasting for dash cam looping. So long term drone usage should be no problem. 4K writing may be an issue, though. Bottom line....do your homework! Good luck.
I always tend to put in the max sd card I can get. This makes a good case for less is more if you constantly change cards. Helpful video as usual Thanks
I didn't know that, I recently bought a 64GB MSD Card for my Mavic Mini with a U1 or C10 rating on it. I think that will be fast enough for the 2.7k video but I would love some feed back from you. As far as storage, I can shoot with all 3 batteries and still have space on the card. Great video, Thank you for the information!!
Dave, thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip! I'll have more content posting this week so be sure and stop back or subscribe if you haven't already. Rick
Thanks for the post and I'm glad you enjoyed the clip. I get this question from every new flier I talk to and always recommend the 32gb of 64gb card with the U3 classification. Stay tuned and I'll have more content posting soon. RIck
I'm late finding this! But I have to agree that getting the fastest card - U3 is best. As to size? Well for me 32Gb is the minimum, 64Gb is enough, as I change cards when I change batteries on the drones. I carry two card holders when I'm flying, one for 'empties', one for used. They can fill up fast with a dual gimble setup.
I'm glad that helped and it can get confusing with all of the many standards out there. I'll have more content posting soon so be sure to stop back and sub the channel so you don't miss anything.
I agree about all the hype of companies selling or deep discounting memory cards. You may end up with a card that is useless in your application. Now... if the rain only stops and the wind advisories cease I can get in some flying ;-)
This is the most comprehensive SD card video I've ever watched and when I need to know about sd card I'll refer to this video. But I still don't know what card is right for the quad? 😁
Very celar explanation.. Thank you so much. But is the card just about video resolution? How about fps? Is 1080p 120 fps can be recorded with 10 MBps card smoothly?
