Go Pro Hero 6 Black SD Card Recommendations

[krbailey]

I just purchased a Go Pro Hero 6 Black and accessories through Backscatter. I didn't purchase SD cards because the ones they recommend are not on the approved list on the Go Pro site. As well as prices being significantly different across the board. I had no problems with Backscatter and they have a very good reputation. A bit of Internet research was even more confusing as far as varied brands, types and specs that are "recommended". I was going to use Amazon Prime but apparently there is a lot of concern with fakes being passed off as legitimate brands.

Any advice/opinions would be welcome.

Thanks!

If you’re concerned about legit brands, why not just head down to Walmart or Staples, etc.?

I always use the Scan Microdisk brand (think that’s the name). Readily available at above mentioned stores, although more expensive than Amazon. Not sure if that brand is on the recommended list.

Use SanDisk class 10/UHS-1 or faster. Buy from Amazon as the vendor. You should be fine.

There are several models of the SanDisk Extreme

SanDisk Extreme Plus SDSQXWG

SanDisk Extreme Plus SDSQXSG.

SanDisk Extreme Plus SDSDXSF

SanDisk Extreme SDSDRX3

SanDisk Extreme Pro SDSDXP

All UHS-1, Speed class rating 10

Some of the comments recommend them for the Go Pro, some say they don't work

The Go Pro site doesn't specify a model

You'll want U3 for 4K video. My class 10 UHS-1 cards would throw an SD card error about every other video with my new Hero 6. Sometimes on 2.7K. They work great for 1440 or less.
