GoPro Hero3 Black setup?

A friend of mine is letting me use his Gopro Hero3 black. It is in the Gopro dive case. Good to 197'. It mounts to my Koah gun under the front barrel. I mainly dive in the GOM in 40'-145'. Will be mainly doing video. Was wondering what to have the settings on? Is the One button feature turning it on/off and video better than doing 2 buttons? What brand and size micro sd card? Heard that some sd cards stop recording,can not handle high speeds etc. Any other info? Figure some of you are almost pros now, after watching your videos. Thanks in advance.

Smile Re: GoPro Hero3 Black setup?

Was wondering what to have the settings on?

1080p 60 frames per second wide angle to smooth motion a bit

Is the One button feature turning it on/off and video better than doing 2 buttons?

Use 1 button feature

What brand and size micro sd card?

SanDisk class 10 with 64 GB capacity

Heard that some sd cards stop recording,can not handle high speeds etc.

True

Any other info?

Use LCD back to compose your shots and change the battery between dives.

Have creative fun!
