GoPro memory cards - which ones to buy?
The GoPro is delivered without a memory card as standard. We'll tell you which memory card you need.
What memory card does my GoPro need?
The GoPro not only records in Full HD and Ultra HD, but also in 4K. To do this, you need a particularly fast SD card.
- The somewhat older GoPro Hero only manages SD cards with a maximum size of 32 GB. A class 4 memory card is sufficient.
- The GoPro Hero 2, which is also getting on in years, also only manages with a 32 GB microSD card, but this should be of class 10.
- Newer models like the GoPro Hero 3, 3+ and 4 also work with 64 GB MicroSD cards. Here, too, you should rely on class 10 and the SDHC standard.
- The SanDisk microSDHC 16GB Extreme Pro offers a particularly good price-performance ratio. All other SD cards can be found in the CHIP price comparison.
