MicroSD Card

A memory card must be inserted into the ORBI Prime to record videos or take photos. Memory cards are sold separately. ORBI Prime supports MicroSD Card: Speed Class V30 (U3) and higher, 8-128Gb

Make sure that your MicroSD card is formatted to FAT32 file system. If not, you may use a free utility for Windows to format your MicroSD card from https://orbiprime.com/software/fat32.zip. Launch the utility, then, choose your MicroSD card from the list and click Start.

For Mac OS you don’t need any utilities, you can format your card using os capabilities. Three links below are three simple instructions for help. You can use any of it:

Standby State

When the device is inactive for longer than 10 minutes and if it’s not connected to a smartphone it goes to STANDBY State. It prolongs the battery life and allows you to quickly start recording when you need to without having to turn it on again. In order to exit the STANDBY mode, click on the POWER button once. After that, you can start recording as usual.
