With the recent surge in interest for fly cams, quadcopters, or camera drones, people can now get a bird's eye view of their surroundings. There are several such devices to choose from, but the competition has thus far been dominated by the DJI Mavic Mini and Osmo.

To many users, the size of these devices is their winning factor. That may be true, but compactness and functionality won't mean anything if you don't have a place to store videos, don't you think? That's were SD cards come into play.

A wonderful memory card plays a very important role for any Drone camera users, in case of insufficient data storage, video corruption, file loss, or memory card errors. Both of these cameras are compatible with several SD cards, but you only want the best of the best, don't you?

Part 1: Best SD Cards for Mavic Mini and Osmo

The Mavic Mini and Osmo are powerful devices, so it only stands to reason that they utilize powerful storage media. And what exactly does that mean? Is there a benchmark you should be aiming for? Yes, there is.

For an SD card to work flawlessly with the aforementioned devices, you need to watch out for its storage space, quality, speed, class, and durability. Each is a criterion you should not ignore, but once you get an SD card that meets these requirements, you can slot it into your Mavic Mini or Osmo without worry something will go wrong.

The first and most important factor that should influence your decision when purchasing an SD card for your camera is its size or capacity. SD cards for the Mavic Mini and Osmo should ALWAYS be on the larger side (a maximum of 256GIG is recommended, but certain users have been able to use SD cards of about 400GIG with no issues whatsoever).

The 5 SD cards listed below are excellent and can easily meet the requirements; the slight differences between them don't hamper their efficiency or durability. Each was selected based on quality and patronage, so decide which of them suits your preference or needs the most and pick it.

1. SanDisk 128GB Extreme A2 V30 Micro SD - 160MB/s

SanDisk 128GB

This SD card has great write speeds clocking 160MB/s and 90MB/s. This SanDisk Extreme A2 V30SD is the favorite of many an Osmo or Mavic Mini users around the world. For one, it's highly recommended and it receives universal acclaim. All this means you can use your DJI Mavic Mini and Osmo to full potential because the SD card can handle whatever you throw at it.

2. Integral 64GB UltimaPRO Premium Micro SD - 100MB/s

Cheap doesn't always equal poor quality; this is certainly the case with the UltimaPRO Premium Micro SD card from Integral. It's more affordable than the other four on this list but it doesn't trade its speed and quality for the lower price; indeed, it can write at speeds that clock 100MB/s and 70MB/s.

3. MyMemory 256GB V30 PRO Micro SD - 100MB/s

True to its name, the PRO Endurance exhibits a remarkable resistance against wear that stems from perpetual writing and overwriting of data. The SD card's innovative NAND technology also makes it nearly impervious to cycles of recording. Samsung doesn't kid around when it comes to quality and durability, and this is evident in the PRO Endurance.

4. SanDisk 32GB Extreme Action Camera Micro SD - 100MB/s

And don't forget its remarkable performance means it will streamline the process of writing data.
