The GoPro<\/a> Max 2<\/strong> shakes up the world of 360\u00b0 video with its ability to shoot in 8K 30 fps<\/strong> and in classic mode up to 4K 60 fps<\/strong>. Such power comes at a price: the files generated are huge, and not all microSD<\/a> cards are able to keep up. If you want to avoid interrupted recordings, bugs, or worse, corrupted files, it’s essential to choose a suitable memory card<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

In this guide, I’ll explain the criteria to consider, the official specifications of the Max 2 and above all introduce you to the best compatible microSD cards<\/strong> that you can use today.<\/p>\n\n

Why is the SD card so important for the GoPro Max 2?<\/h2>\n\n

Shooting in 8K with the GoPro Max 2 means capturing 21% more detail<\/strong> than competing 360 cameras. But it also means that the files are huge<\/strong>. A microSD card that is too slow will not be able to write data fast enough, causing recording stops or unusable videos. <\/p>\n\n

The solution? Choose a UHS-I<\/strong> card, with at least U3, V30 and A2<\/strong> standards. These logos mean that the card is designed to support the recording of heavy and sustained video streams, such as the 8K 30 fps or the 5.6K 60 fps of the Max 2. <\/p>\n\n
