The DJI Osmo Pocket 3 requires a microSD card because the camera has no built-in storage. DJI supports microSD cards up to 1TB.
What speed should you buy?
DJI’s current recommended-card list includes multiple UHS-I U3 and V30 models. DJI’s beginner documentation recommends at least UHS-I Speed Grade 3 for optimal transfer performance.
For a simple shopping target, a reputable U3 / V30 microSDXC card is a sensible match to the models DJI has validated.
Do you need UHS-II?
No. DJI lists several UHS-I cards among its recommended models. It also lists some UHS-II cards, but UHS-II is not a blanket requirement for Pocket 3 recording.
How large can the card be?
DJI currently lists support for microSD cards up to 1TB.
Will the camera record without a card?
No internal storage is provided for captured footage, so a card is needed to store photos and videos.
Why V30 makes sense with a 130 Mbps camera
DJI lists a maximum video bitrate of 130 Mbps. That is about 16.25 MB/s before file-system and recording overhead. A V30 card is rated for at least 30 MB/s sustained video writing, which is consistent with the V30 models on DJI’s recommended list.
