04. What SD card should I use to capture 4K videos

To capture 4K, the faster the read/write on the card the better, we would suggest at least a 150MB/s card.

Here’s what to look for:

 

  1. At least a 150MB/s read-write speed
  2. Version 3 – While the version is not the most important factor, its best to have the latest
  3. Series 10 Card – This is correlated to the capture speed of the card.  For 4K, 150 MB/s is ideal
  4. Large enough storage to capture a complete video. 4K videos are very large, several gigabytes each. Make sure you get a card that has plenty of memory space.
