I can make one of just me running if it tickles your fancy Nik

Hi,

All of my fancies would be tickled, but it's OK. I'll take your word for it!



Cheers,

Hi Guys,

Planning on buying the GoPro HERO3+ Black Edition.

 

What SD cards are others using out there?

 

I understand you need Class 10 but there is so many different versions with different speeds

[Morgan]

I bought a 32GB Class 10 SD card off ebay for $20.

 

Has worked perfectly for ages now.

[WALKER]

32GB is enough space for you?

I'm planning on going overseas in a few months and not sure whether I'd need the 64GB.

[Morgan]

Go as big as you like. I've never filled the 32 but I dump pretty soon after filming.

 

Battery usually runs out first.

 

I have like 5 batteries.

[Adam]

Buy a 64gb if money isn't an issue.

The blacks are pretty hard on the memory cards and some people have issues with cheaper cards. I personally have a Sandisk, but aparantly even they can have problems, depending on the mode you are using.

Do a bit of a google and it will help you decide for yourself!

[Staxta]

I have a SanDisk class 10 64GB, two batteries, should have gone 32GB and bought an extra battery since the black edition just cheers through battery life.

I have been googling like crazy.

I thought I'd come here for some first hand opinions.

 

JB HI-FI doesn't seem to have much of a range of SD cards anyhow.

That's where i'll be buying the camera. I have some store credit

 

I have read this article also, It recommends the cards to use.. But I didn't particularly trust buying from eBay as the cards could be counterfeit copies. I haven't researched what stores sell these, I know JB doesn't.

JB mainly just sells the Sandisk 32gb and 64gb. Would be good to get the Lexar SD cards in.

Few links for people wanting class 10 cards (the same as what i've been using for last few months)

WALKER, I purchased a microSD card not too long ago when I purchased my GoPro from Aek. I'll give you the details once I find the receipt.

[WALKER]

Thanks

I've read that all class 10 cards aren't the same. There's difference in the quality and also read/write speeds.

So some cards will make your video higher quality then others.

 

If I'm buying one of the best quality GoPro's I'd like to take full advantage of it by using a high quality card 

[aekOne]

i've heard of a lot of problems with the generic class 10 cards from Dick Smith

[Robert]

Yeah buy a decent card, saves issues down the road

 

also, check your pm's/phone Aek, been trying to get in contact

[Adam]

You can also get freezing and corrupt files. I had endless problems with my hero 2

[WALKER]

Thanks everyone,

 

Also, curious to know what mounts do you guys use to film inside your vehicle?

[Adam]

Film outside, looks better

Suction cap and a tether is pretty much all you need!

[SAV84C]

I get all mymicro sd cards from here... Never had any problems...
