Personally I don't like SD cards as large a 128gb.  That is a lot of footage to lose if the drone gets lost or the card corrupted.  Of course we always backup our footgage, but it needs to be on at least two devices or one and a cloud.

Also the expense.  I use the multipack at Costco, Sandisk Ultra 64GB.  Cheap.  I can swap out between flights as they are backed up. As I have two batteries, this works well, I swap cards as I swap batteries.  Have not had the format issue

however I just updated firmware and have not swapped cards yet.


As far as Anafi goes, it is great except for urban congested wifi areas where you may get around 700' before the video drops out (worst case scenario)  The drone will be controllable for another 300-400' but you will not know what you are filming or getting pix of.  Aftermarket antenna mods may help, I am awaiting custom cables (longer) to install a Titan antenna.   Rural use the range is better and OK.  Be sure to turn off wifi on your phone and use Airplane Mode.  I was a neophyte and did not know this, it makes a huge difference. Mavic Air has similar rural "clear air" range. I have not heard whether City range is similar or better, it is the same tech but maybe done better? Have not checked, that machine is WAY too noisy.  I am a loyal Anafi owner, mainly because of how quiet it is, secondarily because of the vertical camera range and zoom, lastly because I do not need proprietary chargers.  Oh yeah and it crashes well! Twice I have bounced off trees and crashed 10' to the ground (lost wifi signal so was totally in manual mode, could not hover hands free).  First time had to swap out all propellers, second time dusted it off and continued flying...amazing!  I am a much better pilot now....I think this is an awesome first "decent camera" quality drone.
