Hello my lovelies. Now got me self a gopro 3 and am looking at micro sd cards. What size does how much and what do you recommend? I looked on go pros web site and they recommend a branded one? What do you have guys.......................n girls
Class 4 minimum, preferably Class 6 (especially if not branded). 8GB is about 42 min with sound in 1080p
the higher the class the better really, and decent branded cards tend to be more stable too. try Memory Cards, Micro SD Cards, USB Memory Sticks, SD Cards, SDHC - Free Delivery that's where I get my cards from, they are cheap, have loads of options and quick delivery too. EDIT: they have a load of different 32GB Class 10 Micro SDHC cards for around £15 at the moment.
You need the high data rates because of the massive amount of information in the HD pictures. I'd recommend ebuyer, as I use them loads. You can get a Verbatim 64Gb class 10 Micro SD for £35.99 right now: Micro SD | Flash Memory | Ebuyer.com
The cards for my first digital camera worked out at £1 per megabyte And it doesn't seem that long ago
You will be safe with Sandisk or Lexar defo go for class 10. This should help SD Card Recommendations
Agreed that faster is better but class 6 card works no problem in GoPro at maximum settings at 1080p, 60fps at 720p, slow-mo and so on. Also, might just be actual transer, when I copy movie from my class 10 card using go-pro it does not reach a speed higher then what class 6 is rated at.
+ 1 for sandisk may as well buy class 10 for future proofing, used for years and not had one failure whereas lots of my other cards branded or not have died that might be your readers chipset or your usb port thats the bottle neck lucas
