What size SD card for Go Pro HD Hero2?

[Chopsville]

Hey guys...
What type and size of SD card would you recommend for the go pro hd hero 2? Santa may be bringing me one this year... woohoo!

I've got the Hero HD and use a Silicon Power 16gb class 10 Micro SD card (comes with adapter).

I also have a Lexar Platinum ll 16gb SD class 6 card. I have had no issues with either card. Recommended is a minimum of class 6. Something to do with the transfer & read/write speed. ( Somebody will correct me if I am wrong about read & write speed etc,etc )

Oh, and make sure Santa has the SD card on his list as my Hero didn't come with the memory card, I had to buy it seperate!

I also have a 16Gb Class 10 card in mine, and it works just fine. It gives me over 2 hours of video, or something like 2,500 photographs.

Yeah I got a pair of 16gb Lexar class 6, works out about right, same time I need to swap the battery, i need a new card. Ive got the battery backpac, but never use it... maybe on a bridgetown run id try it, but then id probably be saving the battery for the fun bits anyway. But yeah, theoretically with the bacpac, might be then worth having the 32gb card.

My old man has only a class 4 16gb in his hd hero... still works, but he reckons his footage can be grainy.... i grabbed his camera once, but put my spare card in it, to test his camera and looked fine to me. Dont personally watch too much of his footage.... he's a machine operator trainer, so its all footage of dud operators being real slow on already slow machines.
