Photo Memory Cards

[HiDesertHal]

Hello,
I just received my Hubsan X4 H501S, and since I plan to take a few aerial snapshots, I'd like to ask what capacity of memory card to buy.
I don't plan to do video filming.

Thanks,
Hal

For just pictures, any size will do. I would get something like this: 8GB Micro SD (Amazon) that will allow you to take plenty of pictures, while still large/fast enough to be pretty useful for video in case you change your mind or just want to try it out.

Or this 16GB one that includes the SD card adapter and is a little cheaper.

Get a "Class 10" card if you plan on making any videos.
The upper limit on how many megs you buy is dictated by what the camera can handle.

The camera I refer to is a module built into my Hubsan X4 Quadcopter, with no camera specs in the manual.

Thanks,

Just spent the last 20 minutes googling @HiDesertHal, I expected to find the answer quickly I found a small reference to a micro SD card. i was sure the user manual would have a using the camera section! It sounds like a cleaver drone. Tempted to suggest you go with @Spork s idea. ans start with 8gb card, it will be cheap compared to you drone price and fine to get you started.

Congrats on your E.T. time!

Thank you and likewise !
For me it all started when I was in elementary school, I was always taking apart my toys for their parts and
making new ones ... lol ... my Dad, recognizing the talent, took a very active part in my schooling above and beyond
the requirements of my respective grades. If the study was to learn my multiplication tables up to ten, he'd make me
learn them up to 20. I hated it at the time, but I'm glad he gave me "that edge". He also taught me math analysis before
I even new what that was, pointing out the patterns found in math and the "tricks" to deriving answers by those means
without needing such extensive calculations, which he also insisted be performed "in my head" because pencil and paper
(nevermind calculators) "was for sissies" ... lmao ...

Oh, and your Hubsan will handle up to a 32GB class 10 card
