microSD V30 UHS-I Memory Card for Drones and Action/360°/POV Cameras

News /15 Feb 2023

CALLING ALL CREATORS


The AV PRO microSD V30 card is engineered for use with drones, action/360°/POV cameras. Built to endure extreme conditions, this microSD card reliably captures video in Full HD, 4K, and 6K resolution with write speed up to 90 MB/s and capacities up to 512 GB. This card is qualified for popular drone and action cameras from GoPro, Insta360 to DJI.


AV PRO microSD V30 UHS-I A2
128 GB | 256 GB | 512 GB


Introducing the AV PRO microSD V30 card, engineered for extreme durability in harsh conditions. Capture uninterrupted aerial drone and action camera video footage with robust protections that keep your memory card and content safe from the elements. 


QUICK FACTS BOX

  • Engineered and tested for drone and action camera production in up to 6K
  • Stable Stream™ ensures uninterrupted write performance of 80 MB/s throughout the entire card capacity 
  • Shock, dust, moisture, and temperature proof
  • Includes full sized microSD-to-SD UHS-II card adapter
  • 3-year limited warranty
  • In-house data recovery service on hard- and software level*


MICROSD FOR EXTREME OUTDOOR PRODUCTION


Whether you are a hobbyist or a professional, the durability features of your microSD card matter. Capturing drone footage or action cam shots lend dynamic imagery and compelling storytelling, but they often come with a risk to equipment such as, electric shock, rain, hard crashes, dirt etc... Since many of these shots are fast-paced, super unique, and cannot be repeated, a microSD card from Angelbird carries a professional reputation for quality and reliability that ensures that you get your shot.

Angelbird engineers technology with consideration for real world production environments. The durability of our microSD cards relies on built-in protections such as temperature, moisture, shock, x-ray and magnets, as well as ESD overload and dust protection. The nature of drone and action camera production exposes your valuable gear and content to unpredictable outdoor conditions—robust protections offer assurance that your content is safe.

FAQ's

  • What's the difference between a microSD V30 vs V60?

  • What is “slow SD error” message on your DJI drone and how to fix it?


What is the difference between a microSD V30 vs V60?

When choosing between a microSD V30 vs V60 card for your drone or action camera, you should know that both cards can capture high-resolution video and photo imagery in Full HD, 4K, and 6K. Since bit rate demands on drones and action cams are much lower than that required from cinema cams or DSLR’s, the minimum sustained speed from each card should satisfy all recording modes available on drones and action cams.

The main benefit of Angelbird’s AV PRO microSD V60 vs V30 cards is that the AV PRO microSD V60 has a faster sustained offloading speed of 260 MB/s vs 95 MB/s. This can save a considerable amount of time when transferring data between takes or during post-production work.

“I use DJI Mavic Air 2S, Mavic Pro 3 Classic, and Inspire 2 drones and the GoPro Hero 10 and 360 Max action cameras and in fact all recording modes and resolutions are supported with the speed maintained with the Angelbird microSD V30 card. The Angelbird microSD V60 variant does offer faster offload speeds if post-production efficiency is important to you. For my workflow, I use them in combination with the Angelbird UHS-II SD card adapter and the Angelbird SD Dual Card Reader for the fastest offloading results.”

- Christoph Malin, Timelapse Photography and Action Sports Videography

Another point of difference is that Angelbird’s AV PRO microSD V30 card has UHS-I interface while the V60 uses a UHS-II interface. This is of no consequence when using either microSD with aerial drones, 360 and action cams since UHS-II devices are backwards compatible with universally compatible UHS-I cards. This means, that while both types of cards are acceptable, any potential speed benefit of using a UHS-II card in a UHS-I device will not be realized. It is also worth noting that some gaming consoles, as for example Nintendo Switch Consoles, only support a UHS-I card interface.

Can I use a microSD V30 card in my GoPro and my DSLR or mirrorless camera?

The AV PRO microSD V30 card from Angelbird can be used in GoPro, drones, DSLR, and mirrorless cameras to shoot video and photo content in 4K, and 6K resolutions. To use a microSD card in a DSLR or mirrorless camera you will need to use the included SD UHS-II adapter to convert the microSD to an SD card format. This opens up a broader range of compatibility with cameras, devices, and readers.

It is important to note that using a SD UHS-II card adapter will not alter the underlying performance technology of the microSD UHS-I V30 card. Consider the length, resolution, and recording settings your content requires and note that the AV PRO microSD V30 has a sustained write speed of 80 MB/s and can support full HD, 4K, and 6K photo and video recording.

What does V30 on a microSD card mean?

Simply put, the V30 on a microSD card is a speed classification category assigned by the SD association as a consumer protection measure of performance. For the microSD memory card format, V30 indicates a guaranteed minimum video write speed of 30 MB/s.

Angelbird’s AV PRO microSD V30 is classified as a V30 card but has been tested and qualified to deliver sustained write speed of 80 MB/s throughout the entire card capacity-a speed well above the V30 classification.

What is “slow SD error” message on your DJI drone and how to fix it?

When your DJI drone gives a “slow SD error” it can be an indication that your SD or microSD card cannot write fast enough to keep up with the bitrate feed from the drone. One way to avoid this is to ensure that your cards sustained write speed is fast enough to handle your recording settings.

Angelbird’s AV PRO microSD V30 card provides a sustained write speed of 80 MB/s which is fast enough to record 4K+ resolution for the entire capacity of the card. The Stable Stream™ technology of the AV PRO microSD card ensures that uninterrupted read/write performance is maintained throughout the entire capacity of the card.



“As a DP I love the technological and creative challenges of filmmaking especially in science. The constant evolution of content creation and the challenges in post-production that come with new shooting techniques and technology excite me."
