Which memory card should you buy for your GoPro?

You booked a trip and planned the travel itinerary. You also decided all the adventures you shall embark upon. You even decided to capture all these glorious moments and bought yourself the perfect GoPro bundle for your needs! Now you are at the final crossroads of deciding which memory card to get. Which memory card will work best with your device, so as to not cause any lack in performance or any issues with memory speed as well. To find the perfect SD card for your GoPro, you don’t need to do extensive mind-numbing research, this blog is all you need to stop worrying and just order the right SD card. The first thing that you need to understand is the minimum requirement of the MicroSD card for your GoPro. The GoPro Hero 11 and GoPro Hero 10 lineup requires a minimum of v30 or UHS-3 rating on its SD card to keep up with its high bitrate of 120mbps and shooting 10-bit colour support. As for the Hero 9 and most models before that, they require a minimum of Class 10 or UHS-1 rating. Here V30 refers to the writing speed of the card which is 30/Mbps which is the minimum requirement. As for UHS-1, that means 10/Mbps.
Now that you know the compatible specs of the SD card for your device, we can move on to your options and select the best one. In the SD card market, there are a few brands which are best suited for the GoPro, which are: SanDisk, Lexar and Prograde

SanDisk ExtremePro(128gb / 256gb / 512 gb)

SanDisk Extreme Pro cards are absolutely perfect for any model of GoPro that you own. These are the same cards that are bundled and sold by GoPro themselves, so rest assured, with SanDisk you’re in safe terrain.
