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. SD CARD RECOMMENDATIONS FOR EACH CAMERA CONTINUE ON THE NEXT PAGE
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 (SDSDQX-032G) SanDisk Extreme 64GB microSDXC (SDSDQX-064G) 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 & HERO3+ Silver Edition Cameras
