picking up a gopro 4 hero black later today from a buy and sell type listing was originally intending to buy new but one of the lower models but thought id give this a go instead

memory question though, i know the gopros have been mentioned as corrupting footage or freezing etc with slow cards but is it essential to buy the pro / extreme etc branded cards?
would rather have a few slower cards for the capacity than one expensive fast one

i see the samsung evo 64gb on a well known site for approx £15 would these cards be ok to use ?

thanks
 
cheers for the advice guys im now a little unsure what to do though i was going to grab three of those other cards however ive seen this
SanDisk Extreme 64 GB microSDXC UHS-I U3 Card with SD Adapter upto 90 MB/s Read, FFP
in the description write speed is up to 40MB a sec this would be more suitable i presume approx £25 for the same capacity

4k isnt a deal breaker really as long as 1080p is good and reliable as its for sending off with my much younger sister on a sking trip and lots of 1080p footage is preferred to a little 4k

also i might start another thread if i dont get answers here but are those accessory kits any good? ive seen some on the same site in the region of £20-£30 some of which say reduced from in the region of £100 with lots of various mountings etc as with the sking trip its mainly the chest mount that im after and have seen these on their own for not far off the same price
are these kits up to scratch or just cheap dirt that will fail? any names to look for over the others?

thanks again people
