You need to get that from SanDisk.

I had to try. I video recorded with my R6, formatted the card and then recovered the videos with Photorec. It is FOSS, so it costs 0.

It didn't work out of the box, but I found https://forum.cgsecurity.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=6294

So in the settings I marked enable [X] mov/mdat Recover mdat atom as a separate file and then started it. I got two files from each video and merged them.

To recover video footage from your SanDisk SD card, the recovery could be difficult as it's formatted. Sandisk too has its recovery software named Sandisk RescuePro. This can do a fine job but you might face some issues as the recovered files can be corrupt sometimes.

Some other tools are Recuva & PhotoRec, as these are free tools and have limitations with recovery or corruption after recovery. You can try any of your choices. Since the footage is formatted, there are some paid tools can do a better recovery and that too without any corruption, like Stellar Photo Recovery, Minitool, or Recoverit. These tools are paid, but it will do a better job than above. Choose the one which suits your purpose.
