Probably worth pointing out that the above link is NOT the microSD version. This is it for $62 at the moment - http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electr.../dp/B009SK57ZQ

Maybe you should just call Gopro?


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 Camera
•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 camera, we recommend using one of the following microSD cards for the best performance:
•Lexar 32GB SDHC 600x (LSDMI32GBSBNA600R)
•Lexar 64GB SDXC 300x (LSDMI64GBBNL300R)
•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 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, 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.

Great my Sandisk 64 GB ultra is not on the list. Even tho my card is not on the approved list, i don't think it's the root cause of my current issue.With the new firmware the camera seems fine but the WiFi remote is acting up. I'm going see if there any issues with the Wifi remote.

If you read reviews on newegg, most of the complaints were people using SanDisk.

My Hero3 Black worked fine for 3 months and decided to crap out this weekend.

Non SD Card related (tried other SD cards that were working in other Hero3 blacks). Camera shuts off randomly, doesn't seem to hold a charge, sometimes wont turn off or turn on, etc.

Going back to GoPro...
