Many DJI drones and remote controllers have internal memory. This internal memory allows you to store high definition footage directly in the drone's memory, without the need for an external memory card. This feature is especially useful when you forget your memory card or experience problems with video recording.
The capacity of the drone's internal memory to store photos and videos varies depending on the quality of the recorded media. For example, if you are shooting in 4K resolution, the drone will save fewer photos and videos than if you only record in HD resolution. However, you can always have more space for data capture by purchasing a high-speed microSD card.
