The SanDisk Extreme PRO is the fastest memory card available right now. But, either of the following memory cards should be sufficient:

• Lexar 633x
• SanDisk Extreme

The write speed is most important when choosing a memory card. I'd recommend you go with a memory card that writes at 40MB/s (or higher) since that's what DJI ships with the Phantom.

Thankyou im trying to clarify if makers speed quotations are MB/s megabytes or do they mean megabits/sec when advertised as to my understanding the p3p only transfers video at about 6 megabits a second to the card in 4k
just my understanding thats all im trying to have it clarified

Everyone on the internet wants the "best" but as long as you get a card that meets DJI's recommendation ..

Supported SD Card Types
Micro SD Max capacity: 64 GB. Class 10 or UHS-1 rating required​

.. it will be fine.
A faster SD card won't be any better in the Phantom as everything depends on the speed of the buffer memory in the Phantom - not the card.

I got a 32gig ultra Class 3 from SanDisk. It's working real well, very little video stuttering

Thankyou appreciated as just wasnt sure and was under the impression needed an all out fast top end sd card to cope with 4k

The faster card will also offload video faster to your computer, especially over USB 3. The microusb plug on the Phantom is only USB 2 so it's a lot slower vs of you use an adapter like I bought.
