What Is The Right Type of MicroSD Card To Use?

What about this one?

SanDisk Extreme 128GB microSD

It has speeds up to 90 MB/s and it also supports 4K video.

I think the card you mentioned (read speeds of up to 90MB/s; write speeds of up to 60MB/s) should work fine.

I've only had my camera for about a week, but I'm using the Lexar Professional 1000x microSDXC 64GB UHS-II/U3 (read 150MB/s, write 45MB/s). I think the write speed is more important, and yours is faster than mine. My card is working well for me.

Wow, that's fast.

But, Can I Record 4K Video On Samsung EVO Plus MicroSD Card?

I'm far from an expert on this topic, but I had done a lot of research when trying to figure out which card to get for myself. These are some of my thoughts...

Again, if I'm not mistaken, the write speed is more important. Compared to your SanDisk Extreme, my Lexar Professional actually has a slower advertised write speed.

From what I saw, there is some debate regarding whether U1 is enough for 4k video. Based on this link from the SD Association, which seems to recommend at least U3 (@ 0:40 in the video) for 4k videos, I purchased U3--to be on the safe side.

What happens if I were to use a slower card such as this SanDisk UHS-I card? Does it affect the quality of the video I'd take? If I'm not mistaken the Gear 360 only records at 24FPS at 4K though right?

Although I think I may just pony up and get this one since I can't find any with fast write speeds above 126GB
