I just got my hands on a DJI Mini 4 Pro and I'm looking for recommendations on the best microSD card to pair with it. I'll mainly be shooting 4K video and lots of photos during travel. What capacity and speed class should I be looking for? Any specific brands that work particularly well with this drone? Also wondering about reliability - don't want to lose footage due to card failure. Thanks for any suggestions!
I would prefer the high endurance version of SanDisk microSDXC Card. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=SanDisk+Endurance+microSDXC+Adapter+Monitoring&BI=8941&KBID=10361&SID=12345&DFF=d50
I use this one: SanDisk Extreme PRO microSDXC UHS-I Memory Card. Very fast and no problem for years.
For the Mini 4 Pro, you need UHS-I Speed Grade 3 or higher microSD cards to handle its high-bitrate video recording. I've been using the SanDisk Extreme PRO 32GB V30 U3 A1 and it works flawlessly. The key is looking for cards with good write speeds - look for one that displays a little 'V90'. The higher the card's write rate, the easier it will record high bitrate footage. Don't get fooled by high read speeds in big fonts - the write speed is what matters for recording!
