Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
I didn't have the time to even attempt an RMA (well at least I wasn't willing to make the time). I just bought the lexar and it works great.

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
i had alot of issues with my gopro doing the same thing as yours the first few months and lost alot of good footage, the reason for it was i brought a cheap class 10 SD card. so i decided finally after losing a whole lot of good footage to buy a sandisk, i had other issues with the sandisk so i contacted them and they replaced it almost no questions asked, this was a simple easy process through them and now i have had no issues what so ever with the new card so for me if i were going to buy a new card it would be a sandisk

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
needs to be the "Extreame" scandisk SDXC 64 micro or the scandisk SDHC 32 micro. DO NOT BUY THE Scandisk "Ultra" SDXC 64 micro...it blows (For the HERO 3 black)!!!
It looks like the updated GoPro firmwhere specifically singles out scandisk memory cards based on complaints (rather confusion between the difference of "Ultra" and "extreame" cards. I think another brand may work better to get the most out of the gopro hero 3 black edition |

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
Tylure you are absolutely correct. GoPro have now said that for their Black edition cameras you really need to be using the 'Extreme' version of SanDisk cards - especially if you want to be using the higher FPS settings or things like ProTune.
I havent had any dealings with other brands of cards so cant really comment but i am sure Samsung will have an 'Extreme' equivalent which may be slightly cheaper |

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
The Black Hero 3 can do 1080p at 60fps, which records files at least 7MB/sec. So you definitely need the Sandisk Extreme. It can write up to 50MB/sec.
The write speed of the Sandisk Ultra is up to 9.5MB/sec. Typically for my Silver H3, I use 960p at 48fps, thus around 2MB/sec, and so the Ultra has been OK so far for me. |

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
Are there any places in south florida that stock these types of items. I am headed up to sebastian for work and need to get a few of these 64 gb or half a dozen 32gb cards for the GP3 black. Thanks

Re: What is the Best microSD card for the Gopro 3 Black Edition?
Thanks perincia and tony. Tony, Is your the ultra card or the extreme variant?. Of the interweb searching I've found that the 32gb cards seems to have the least amount of issues when compared to the 64. I was going to do the amazon prime route but went to a few stores in kw and got lucky. radio shack actually had both 32 and 64.. got 6 32gb extreme from Sandisk...they might have had a 64 but I was somewhat skeptical of buying it. I might go back tomorrow and pick it up, but well see how the 32gb ones do today. Gunna need at least 2-300 gb of storage for this single camera over the next week so I need something that is reliable and hassle free. I have a box of batteries for it too.
