Thanks for enlightening us about the uses of an SD card in the RC. The feature I liked most was the bit about having a back up SD to use when the SD in your drone runs out of room in the field. However, only just put that to the test last night. I was doing a critical shoot in downtown Toronto when I got the dreaded "out of storage" warning on my screen. So, I brought down my Mavic 3 to swap out the SD with the one from my RC, and even fired a test photo on the ground to make sure the shutter would fire without any warnings or error messages. It fired, although I did not check to see if it recorded the image, and I assumed that all the photos and video I was capturing without any error messages from the air were being recorded. To my horror, though, when I got the card home to download my images, they weren't there! I explored every folder in the Android file system and could not find a single image or video with the current date. I can also assure you I had plenty of room on the card (5.5 GB used out of 128 GB). The ONLY thing I could think of as the possible problem was that the SD card was formatted for the RC and not the Mavic 3. But reviewing your video here again, it sounds like that shouldn't be the issue. Any ideas as to why it didn't record? Or if it did, where the files might be hiding?

Hi Dee. I have just checked this with my mini 3 pro using the card from the controller. I took 3 pics and it stored them in the DCIM folder. Not sure why yours didn’t record them? My only thought would be that because you ran out of storage it defaulted to the internal storage on the Mavic. Have you checked in there?

Thanks. I keep needing these reminding s. Cheer!

The tip to secure the screen "buttons" by pressing the power button sounds useful. As a beginner I would like to deactivate the C1 button. Pressing it by accident ruins the recording, gimbal diving to straight down.... One other Tuber, or maybe You, pointed out that the RC memory card could be considered as a spare wheel for the drone, in case the drone card gets full.

I had that same problem with the C1. One of the options when you get into where you can set it for a couple different things. One of those is turn on/off some of your lights. I just set both my C1 buttons to that as I don't care one way or the other if the lights are on or off. I don't remember how you access them, but it is really in one of the set up screens. If you can't find it, let me know. Good Luck

Genius 👍

Are you saying that besides the card on the drone you can put the second card on the RC. We are begginers with a DJI mini 4 pro, my daughter is in Spain doing a Geology mapping project for her degree and I need to advise her. She has the drone but only one card (a Sony recommended one) but we are sending her the SanDisk one exactly as you show. What do you recommend based on your many years of experience. We are also sending her a card reader USB for the PC to bring down the footage rather than the slower ap to the phone.

[6:00] _"When these first came out, it was 720P ..... it now shoots in 960 x 540. So, it's almost 1080p, but not quite."_ (??) *720p* = 1280 x *720. 1080p* = 1920 x *1080.*

It's such a shame that this SD card cannot be set to simultaneously record what the card in the drone is recording so that if you did have a crash / loss or card failure everything was on the controller SD card. In my handheld cameras I have the comfort of dual card slots just in case one card failed
