I sent them an email but no reply yet. I read that for 4K they recommend the fastest card which is UHS-3 and possibly 128 GB. Doesn't seem that any of the Hubsan manuals give you the max size their drones can take,

The drone takes up to 128GB. It is stated in the quick start manual and was also said directly by Hubsan on the Indiegogo campaign comment section:

I would expect it to handle a 64Gb card. The fastest, best priced ones I've found so far are the Strontium Nitro 64Gb. I use them in both my P4Pro and my Mavic. Amazon has them, pretty cheap ($18):

I don't know where you saw that in the manual because I reread it and only saw that it said 32 GB or higher. I never saw the Indiegogo campaign. I looked at the Hubsan 501S manuals for an idea and didn't see a max there either. I finally googled it an saw comments from various users that had to do trial and error and it seemed it's limit was 32 GB. I hope you are right because I gambled and bought a Samsung 128GB 100MB/s (U3) MicroSD EVO Select Memory Card at Amazon for $25.

128GB is definitely compatible. I just looked again in the manual and you are right about it only saying 32 and up. But it has been stated by Hubsan a few times that 128GB is supported, which will be enough for a few hours of video at 4k, more than what 4 batteries worth of flying could fill.

I just wanted to be safe and I have ordered two extra batteries so I might be doing several flights at a time. Sounds like I was on the right track. AS with everybody else can't wait to get it and try it out. The RCSaylors first flight in the wind blew me away how well the video stayed so still despite the rocking of the drone.

I just looked at recent ads for the drone and they are saying 10-64 gb so I might be in trouble getting an 128 GB card.

Rest assured, the 128 GB card is supported. A 16GB card would fill up very quickly (probably about 7 MB of memory per second) and 128 GB is probably overkill unless you are going to be filming a lot with no access to a computer in between ( circa 25 GB for an hour of video). It was reported by Hubsan support that up to 128 GB will work in the Zino. 10-64 GB is for their 501 series of drones that record in 1080p.
