How do you eject a stuck SD Card?

[HokieDrone]

I think I've seen this discussed before but can't find the thread.

Up until today I've always used SanDisk SD cards. I got a couple of Samsung SD cards cheap that were on sale at Best Buy and decided to try them.

I took a drone out for a test flight and used one of the Samsung cards. I tried to eject it tonight and it won't pop out. The SanDisk have always come out easily. The Samsung card is stuck hard and fast.

Is there an easy solution for this problem or am I going to have to open up the camera.

Model is Typhoon H480 and the camera is a CG03+

That is odd. You might try using a thin non metallic object that allows you to push in a bit more than your finger can to hopefully release the latch and eject the card. I keep this small plastic brush in my kit and use it on my ST16’s card slot because it sits too far recessed in the case.

I got it to come out. Somehow it had gotten wedged under the lip along the edge of the slot. I took a plastic knife and wedged it out.

Thanks for your reply!

The 'ol hemostats are a handy tool, but not like the old days use??

I found the propellor blade is just the right size to push it in and release or to get under it if necessary, just be careful if it releases or it can fly quite a ways
