A memory card larger than 32 GB is a bad idea. Change my mind.

More specifically, a memory card with more storage than you can fill in a single flight is a bad idea.

Most 4k camera drones have a max VBR and flight time of 100 Mbps and 30 minutes. 100 Mbps for 30 mins will result in less than 22 GB of footage. When you land and swap the battery, assuming you want to ensure you don't loose the footage you just captured, you'd swap the microSD as well.

If you have a card that can store 2 flights worth of footage you'll get lazy, not swap the card, and risk losing previous flights footage with each successive flight. Furthermore, formatting the cards as part of the pre-deployment checklist reduces the risk of data corruption during flight.

Is there any reason what I would want to fly with a larger card?

Purchase and use of parachutes for drones

The new law will allow working in conditions that were previously illegal. One operational scenario that has been most needed is flying drones in urban areas or over crowds of people, and this will be possible with a few requirements. One of them, the one that drives most operators crazy, is that the drone has an impact energy absorption system (airbag or parachute). The problem with this is that AESA has not yet decided on the specifications that these devices will need. Logically, it is about introducing a new element for improvement aviation security in the use of drones, but in this case the indications for use are not very clear. The subject seems delicate and following the rules can be costly. We will comment on the current situation and how DronProfessional.com is handling it A parachute is a good item to minimize damage in case of accidental drops of the drone. They help minimize damage to aircraft, cameras and LiPo batteries. The latter can become dangerous, as they ...
