Best SD card for HD video

I shoot Transcend. This class 10 card is 16 Mbit/s write and 20 read. Plenty fast enough for an 18MP DSLR shooting 720/60 so it will be fine for the Gopro. I had a few when I had my T2i and never had a problem.

Not sure what that equates to across the pond money wise, but it is a good value card.

What I thought was a battery issue turned out user (stupid stupid) error

Sorry to hear abut the problem with your camera. How long does the battery actually last?

It sounds like your SD card may not be compatible with the HD HERO camera for video. What brand, capacity, and class rating SD card are you using?

Have you tried reformatting the card using the delete all function in the settings menu of the camera? Did you ever try out a different SD card in the camera?

We recommend name brand SD cards with a class 4 rating or higher, but have recently come to learn that even some name brand cards are having compatibility issues with the HD HERO camera.

We are currently working on doing a full listing of recommended (and not recommended) cards. We are researching further to determine why some cards are not adhering to the spec to which our SD card host adapter conforms. Internally we use Kingston or Patriot brand cards: 16GB, Class 4 without issue, so can safely recommend those.

Please do try out one of the Kingston or Patriot brand cards, and the video recording should work fine.

Let us know how it goes.

Many Thanks,

hmm... good info there. Sucks that they are having issues with cards that should work fine.
