Did you format the card using the Spark?

Try a different card

Really fed up now. I replaced that card with another Sandisk Ultra, and this ones even worse. It`s done it 3 times now! I`m being very careful to remember to turn off recording before I power the Bird down, followed by the RC. Any ideas? Ive just ordered a Kingston anyway. Really fed up with this..

Its interesting, because I just cleared the video cache in the Spark, and re formatted the card, and after doing it, is said Write Speed not fast enough for 4K videos... Now am I missing something here? Firstly its not shooting in full 4k is it? Secondly, its a Sandisc Ultra 64k 10 card. I wasnt aware they came any faster?

Spark is 1080. Can't shoot 4K

Fastest SD cards have U3 designation. Samsung EVO are great and cheap

Many oddball error messages can only be fixed by deleting DJI Go 4 app and reinstalling it fresh. Especially recording and camera issues.

Doesn't always work but it's quick and easy. Takes just a few minutes and can often save hours of aggravation.

Ok thanks Andre. I`ll try it again with this card now Ive done what I mentioned, and hopefully that might have `fixed` the issue, but I`ll be using the new card as my goto, soon as it arrives, and if I get another backup, I`ll try the Samsung

64GB is the sweet spot. Big enough to use in DSLR and GoPro and Spark without worrying about filling too quick.

Spark can handle up to 128GB. Those are on sale today for $19.99. Good timing

Per the manual, 64gb is the maximum.

You can't believe everything in that manual...

My 128GB card works fine!

Maybe they updated the firmware but not the manual?

But as I said "64GB is the sweet spot". More versatile to have two 64 rather than a single 128

That's a possibility.

When I purchased a card for the Spark, the sales clerk said that a bigger card may work, but it may not write correctly to it since the limit of the Spark was 64gb.

Good to hear it works.
At 1080p, you've got a Grand Canyon of storage.

For me, 16GB is more than enough for the Spark. I use two Sandisk Extreme Plus U3 16GB.

You gonna burn through some batteries to fill up a 64/128GB card
