Important Notes About SD Card Speed

Please ensure your chosen SD card is UHS-1 only. The above list are the SD cards we have currently tested, however there are many other available SD cards which will be compatible. It’s worth testing your card’s speed using Blackmagic Disk Speed Test to accurately measure whether your SD card will be able to record at the rate you require. Blackmagic Disk Speed Test uses data to simulate the storage of video so you can get results similar to what you’ll see when capturing video to an SD card.

Hi Thank You so much for this.
I did use the Sandisk Extreme Pro 32 gb and it worked well.

However, i have experienced another problem, when i updated the firmware, it suddenly back to where it belongs, same problem - dropped frames, slow motion on the videos and the audio-video is terribly out of sync, what seems to be the problem? I even formatted the Sandisk Extreme Pro again, i tried all codec, same result.

Please help

Thank you

I've used the 32, 64, 128, & 256 GB versions of the Sandisk card and have only ever experienced dropped frames (repeatedly) with the 32GB version. I would not trust it, even though it's on the supported list.

Good Luck

The 32GB card drops frames, even in the Picket camera. The 64 pans 128GB cards work best.
Cheers
