SD Card Recommendations
It's important to use one of the recommended SD cards in your camera, or you may experience freeze-up or video corruption issues.
We recommend only purchasing name brand SD cards through reputable resellers. There are both counterfeit and underperforming SD cards out in the marketplace, which can prevent proper functioning of your HD HERO camera's features.
Here are the SD card requirements for each camera:
HERO3: Black Edition & HERO3+ Black Edition Cameras
• A Class 10 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required.
Not all Class 10 microSD cards have the same data write speeds. If you plan to shoot in 4k, 2.7k, or Protune video modes with your HERO3: Black Edition or HERO3+ Black Edition camera, we recommend using one of the following microSD cards for the best performance:
• SanDisk Extreme 32GB microSDHC (SDSDQXL-032G)
• SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC (SDSDQXL-064G)
• Lexar 32GB SDHC 600x (LSDMI32GBSBNA600R)
• Lexar 64GB SDXC 600x (LSDMI64GBSBNA600R)
• Delkin 32GB SDHC (DDMICROSDPRO2-32GB)
• Delkin 64GB SDXC (DDMICROSDPRO264GB)
• Samsung 64GB SDXC (MB-MGCGB/AM)
With the camera software update released July 29, 2013, using other microSD cards with your HERO3: Black Edition camera while shooting in 4K, 2.7K and Protune video modes may result in a reduction of the data stream rate from 45Mb/sec to 35Mb/sec.
For HERO3 Silver and White Editions, any class 10 microSD cards can be used, including SanDisk Ultra and Lexar.
HERO3+ Silver Edition Cameras
• A Class 10 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required.
HERO3: Silver Edition Cameras
• A Class 4 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required.
• A Class 10 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required for 0.5 sec Time-lapse, 10/1 Photo Burst, and Protune.
HERO3: White Edition Camera
• A Class 4 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required.
• A Class 10 MicroSD card up to 64 GB is required for 0.5 sec Time-lapse.
HD HERO2 Camera
• A Class 4 SD card up to 32 GB is required.
• A Class 10 SD card up to 32 GB is required to use 0.5 sec Time-lapse, 10/1 Photo Burst, and Protune.
HD HERO Original Camera & HD HERO 960 Camera
• A Class 4 SD card up to 32 GB is required.

[AndreBellCopywriter]

Thanks. Six year old video still giving useful tips. Am on my first action cam and I had no idea why I was sent an 'extra' backdoor. Did not realize it is to improve audio recording when not shooting under water.

Great video. Your green screen "studio shot" looks very professional.

I bought a Gopro hero (don't see any numbers after Hero) and wondered what brand micro SD card you would recommend.  I see class 10 or UHS 1 but not sure what brand would be best.
