Doesn't the gopro only support 32 gig?

 

[Riot Rider]

i think thats only the hero. but am sure the hero 3 takes 64. i seen a few videos but no one said anything about the bigger card

3+ can take a 64, I'd double check before you buy. GoPro recommend Sandisk and Lexar for their cameras, although @WestEnd was having issues with his GoPro not recognising his Lexar all of a sudden. Hopefully he'll spot the tag and pop in and let us know if it is the camera acting up or the card is a bit poo.

I have a 64 sandisk on my hero 3+ silver

riot im running a sandisk ultra 64gb (10) works great for me!

My Lexar has played up a couple of times, but seems to have settled down now. I would recommend Sandisk Extreme though. I would have bought one myself if the prices weren't so ridiculous.

Running a Class 10 64gb SanDisk SDXC card, good for running a high bit rate on the Ghost S as it has a decent write speed on it (forgot the actual figure, was going to post it but meh nevermind)

id rather cruise with 2 32gb's... personal pref though

 

[Meef]

I would take that approach too but having to switch memory cards mid way through a long ride would be irritating. I've filled up to 37gb on one ride before. Rather turn it on and forget about it than have to wonder whether I've actually saved any of the stuff I "recorded"

i stop for fuel before my cards full.... so i change it on every pitstop if i am going long distance.

Ahh I see lol that makes sense. Convenient!

 

[Lurch]

You need to change your battery surely?

 

[Meef]

I got around 37gb footage before running out of battery on the Ghost S.

 

[Lurch]

Really? HD Ghost at 1080/30 will write 5 hours to a 32gb card, battery made it max 3.5 hours.

 

[Meef]

Yup I was going at 1080p 60fps and ended up with 37.3gb of footage lol, no idea how.

 

[Lurch]

That's 3 hoursish of footage. Lucky to get that off a battery at 60fps! Most get 2.5, altough I comfortably got it today, only changed batteries as I knew ot wouldn't be likely to hit another hour!

 

[Meef]

A spare battery really should be on my to-buy list regardless though xD

 

[Lurch]

I've got 3

I use 32gb cards, never run out of battery as I use a drift powerpack. I will run out of cards before I run out of power.
