The sd card needs to be formated as FAT32. You can format it with your computer. You can also copy the telemetry files by connecting the ST16 to your computer using the charging cable that came with it. The ST16 will appear as an additional drive on your computer.

Glad you have it working. You can use just about any card in the ST16 but the one for the camera needs to be a U3 to record 4K video.

I understand the learning curve. I'm still somewhere on the up side of it. Class 10 cards come in various formats. Some will say U1 and some U3. Yuneec states that U3 is required for their 4K cameras. That a 3 inside the U symbol.

again thanks

Many people have had good luck using the U1 cards. If you run into a problem with 4K video you will know where to look for the problem. Sometimes you will even get an error message on the ST16 that says NO SDCARD INSTALLED.

If you have a new ST16 or the SD drive has not been used recently, sometimes the connectors will start to build residue and you will not get connectivity. If you don't have a cleaner for an SD drive, take your SD card and push it in and out several times and it will usually clean it and re-connect. One of my THs arrived this week, it was one of the originals and had been on a shelf since the beginning, it had a read card error and would not recognized the card. I completed the above and everything works fine.

Also make sure the SD card in inserted in the ST-16 BEFORE you power it on.
