Has anyone else had problems using a new, larger Micro SD card? I tried installing the same card I use for my Gopro (64gb class 10 40MB/s) and it says invalid card... Frustrating. I've had this thing for 6 months, and have only tinkered with it. Now I...

No I have not had this exact same situation. However, I found this recorder to complex for me to figure out so I returned it and had the money put back on my credit card and you may want to do the same. Ron

Hello, I had no problem. I didn't even format it. I just put it in and it worked. Are you sure it's the right card for your camera. Maybe you should return it and try a new one. It may be defective, or call the manufacturer customer service.

I am using a micro SD with no problem. I know this sounds silly, but... have you checked that you are inserting the card the right way? Good luck

I Have this item since 2005 and worked perfectly until I used a 4gb Kingston sd... I have used it with many brands and sizes up to 2gb, but when I used it with the 4gb I mention, it fail to work, but for me, works with everything 2gb and under. Dont buy it if you will use with bigger cards, look for a newer version or another brand.

I have had the same problem with a 512Mb Sandisk micro SD. I'm using a usb card reader. At first it kept giving me an error that it could not read it. Now it won't even show up on my computer (Mac powerbook) Any luck finding a solution?

I got a 16GB Class 6 Sandisk card before our vacation to Europe. On a bicycle ride around a lake the camera would stop midstream in a video shoot and said something like "the data stream is too fast for the card". I was shooting in the highest HD mode. It happened several times so high speed action (a lot of data) is too fast for a Class 6. Buy a faster card. I wish I had.

I have been using my new card for a little over a month and so far no problems. I bought it to replace a SanDisk card that was full. Have another camera I have used for about 10 years and always use Sandisk cards with no problems.

I just tried several shots with a 32 GB class 10 card and it seemed to clock in at about half the time you are experiencing at most.***Update*** I just purchased a SanDisk 64GB Extreme Pro class 10 and it says it is rated at 95 MB/s. The 32GB ws an Amazon Basics class 10 card. With the new card, there is no appreciable delay.I hope this helps.Don

Thank you all for your prompt answers. I actually tried the Kingston Technology 128 GB Secure Digital Extended Capacity (SDXC) Class 10 Memory Card and it worked! I hope that our dialogue has been beneficial to all. God bless!

I'm having the same problem using a Sandisk 64GB, 30MB/s SDHC card. Packaging says it can handle "up to 64GB SDHC card". Yeah? Which one? Guess we'll have to run it by the manufacturer...good luck.

Just got my gopro and have tried to insert this card. Goes in fine, but will not lock into place. Locks into SD adapter fine, though. Could be camera - will need to check out further.

I think the move to the mini-SD is a step forward and probably a necessary one. My guess, they simply didn't have the room to fit a regular SD slot and I wouldn't want one anyways. I much prefer the smaller mini-SD. Not like they are expensive either. I bought two 16 gb mini-SD cards for $20. I put one in my Zen X-Fi2 and one in my cell phone. It's only in the cell phone, so I don't lose it. It's actually storing more videos for my X-Fi2. I would have loved to see the X-Fi style with a mini-SD slot, not a complete lack of one. Guess I'll just stick with my regular Zen X-Fi for gym use and my X-Fi2 for everything else. Although, I do want to grab the 64 gb model.

I agree that the 64GB Micro SD cards are becoming a good buy, but "Officially", the Contour Roam Specs state that the largest card that will work is the 32GB. Now, I may buy a 64GB card a try it out, since it's likely that given that the 32GB card was the largest widely available card at the time, the Specs stated 32GB was the largest that could be used - Just a thought here. The Contour Roam does great with the 32GB card and that has always been enough for me - even on long motorcycle rides, but it would be nice to have that "extra space" of a 64GB card. If I buy a 64GB card soon, I will update this response one way or the other as to whether or not the large card works in the Roam.

For anyone who is still wondering/checking...I have recently tried a 16GB microsd card with this camera. And although the products main website/manual says that it can only support up to 8GB, it is DID work with the 16gb micro sd card I inserted! It is as I had recently stated, that the manufacturer posted up the limitation probably/simply because that's as far that they had tested for the camera and can't claim with certainty it working with the product.In any case, I can physcially confirm that it CAN work with this camera!You're welcome!

I am using a 16GB SD card and it is working fine. Larger capacity cards should also work but I have not tried any.

I have this card installed in my GoPro Hero 2 and it thus far has worked perfectly. I'm not an expert in GoPro by any means but my experience has been positive. Perhaps it's your model of GoPro? Or maybe you have a faulty card. I can only speculate.

I had a 64gb card for it. I don't think it particularly matters on the size of sd card you use. As Long as it is the correct type of card the size shouldn't matter.
