This is a strange one for me, I have come back from a Scotland trip with videos and 360 jpgs. These were taken over a three day period this week and they have just disappeared from the SD card 256 Ulta Pro. Five files both video and images are still on the card from the first day but but all of the others are missing. I can still access the low resolution files but that is all. Any ideas how this could of happened. Using a Mini 3 Pro. Bob Willis
One common cause of “most later files going missing” is the card being a much smaller fake than it says it is. You might try running this https://h2testw.org/ on it.
Oh No!!!
I have the mini 4 pro but here’s some thoughts.
How did you confirm there were 360 files if they’ve all gone?
Explicitly, what card did you use?
Have you used it or part filled that card before?
Did you change a setting to have files stored on the drones internal memory - you can do this on the M4Pro
Probably little consolation now (and I know how it feels to lose a ton of images!!) but it’s always worth bringing a usb card reader and ipad/laptop on a trip where you’re doing a lot of photography and checking/moving them to OneDrive or similar Alternative source of backup during your trip.
I only ever use Sandisk Extreme Pro - and only from a reputable camera dealer. There are a lot of fakes out there for sure…
Many thanks for your kind comments. I have been using the card for some time and its only selected files from last week that were missing with images. Been using the card for three months and the capacity is as described. I feel sure it something I have done but open to all suggestions
Many thanks again
Many thanks for your very kind suggestions
Here are some answers to you questions
I checked the card each night for the files all present. I know I should have backed them up but its one of those things you don’t always do. I do when I go diving!!!
It was a 256 Ulta Pro Scan Disk. I use these in my 360, GoPro and my drone
Yes used it before and also normally just use 50% capacity before backing up
Not aware of changing setting on my 3 Pro. If they were mistakenly filed off to the controller how can you check?
Many thanks again for the suggestions to check out
Many thanks again
