After SanDisk refused to replace a defective 128GB MicroSD card earlier this year (it stopped working in several GoPros, a DSLR and all my computers, so it was the card but they argued otherwise...) I decided to go for Kingston Technology for my GoPro Hero5, my new Hero7 as well as my new ANAFI drone. I had decades of good product quality and customer service experience with Kingston's memory modules, USB sticks, cards and SSDs and can not remember why I even bought the SanDisk card that failed....The ANAFI needs a fast card to write both video and photo as well as flight data so I went for Kingston's "Canvas React" which is a Class 10 UHS-I U3 MicroSD card that supports V30 standards (for 4K Video)as well as A1 (which is a speed class for application loads on mobile devices, so not really relevant for the ANAFI).The Kingston Canvas React comes in capacities from 32 - 512GB, but I felt that 128GB was the right size for me. They sell it with or without SD card adapter, which might make a few cents price difference when you look them up online. If you want other capacities, just replace the digits in the part numbers:SDCR/128GBSP (Micro SD only without SD card adapter)SDCR/128GB (with SD card adapter)The Kingston cards perform really well in all three devices I have been using them in, but Mac users, remember to format any card (not just Kingston) to FAT32 on your Mac first, then one more time in the ANAFI. This avoids that many drone users seem to have (I've also seen a lot of DJI Mavic users describing similar problems in their forums. I believe I know a bit about memory cards, but this is odd and something Parrot and DJI would have to explain:Kingston (and probably most other manufacturers) ship bigger capacity cards formatted as ExFAT, the ANAFI supports FAT32. FAT32 is a format that is meant to be used on cards up to a capacity of 32GB with the actual limitation being that individual files are just under 4GB.So, if you take your larger card which comes ExFAT formatted from the manufacturer and put it straight into your drone you get an error message. You can easily fix this by formatting the card in the drone using the FreeFlight App. I think you will be OK if you later take that card and put it into a Windows PC. HOWEVER, if you go straight from the drone to your Mac you will probably encounter the error message "the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer” as I did. The Apple OS will not allow you to mount the card and you will not see the content. As far as I can tell there is nothing you can do but Erase (Mac-speak for Windows "format") the card and kiss your recorded content Good Bye. Find a Windows machine for data backup first.Here’s what worked for me: Take your MicroSD card and (despite it being larger than 32GB) do an initial FAT32 format on the Mac via Disk Utility => Erase => Format: MS-DOS (FAT). Then put the card in the ANAFI: It will trigger another error message from the drone (why, I don't know) and you need to format it a second time in the drone via Free Flight. I do not know why this is necessary, but after this exercise your footage will be readable on your Mac as well as any Windows computer.
