    I would go for as large a card as it will handle so 64gb and probably class 10, but usually class 4 and above.should handle movie footage ok

    Sorry I was busy and not had time to try mine out.

    I have cards from 8gig to 64Gig and get mine from Costco. as said the bigger the so 16-32gig minimum is best. And go for the best writing rate you can such as 30MB/'s +

    I've just bitten the bullet and ordered one for collection tomorrow - at £50 it really is a good deal.

    I can get a GoPro from the US at $ prices but they are still almost £300

    I am getting some extra mounts like poles etc. from ebay to give a bit of variety but think this is certainly worth a punt - also great flexibility running 2 cameras front and rear facing - just keeping them powered up can be a challenge.
