I use only 256gb Sandisk Extreme for this camera as it consumes space at double the rate of the Hero 7. If you are like me, I try to never turn the camera off when I’m out as you can guarantee that’s when something will happen and you’ll miss it. You will require 2 x 256gb cards for a full days riding if you’re on tour.

I use either 128gb Sandisk Ultra or 256gb Sandisk Extreme SD cards. (I find the quality equally as good whether I use the Ultra or the Extreme cards.)

When using the hand held camera I set the lens view to Wide.
