    Hey, I’m thinking about picking up the Qinux Pixgo 4K for some snorkeling on holiday, but I’m a bit confused about the storage. The product page says it supports SD cards, but do I need a specific speed or class for 4K recording, or can I just use whatever old card I have lying around? I don’t want to buy it and then find out my card doesn’t work.

    Just grab a decent class 10 U3 card if you want the 4K to actually record without stuttering. Don’t bother with an old random card you found in a drawer.

    I think any decent class 10 card should be fine for 4K on that camera. I wouldn’t bother with an old one you have lying around though, just grab a new one to be safe.

    Honestly, it’s not that deep. Just use a decent class 10 card and you’ll be fine. I’ve used a few different ones with mine and never had a problem.

    I just grabbed a class 10 card for mine and it’s been fine with 4K, no problems so far. I wouldn’t bother digging out an old card, just get a new one and you’re set.

    I just grabbed a class 10 card from a local shop and haven’t had any issues with 4K recording. Wouldn’t overthink it too much.

    It’s not that serious. Pretty much any decent class 10 card will do the job for 4K on this camera. I wouldn’t stress over finding some special one.

    I think people overthink the card thing a bit. A decent class 10 is fine but I wouldn’t use some ancient card you found in a drawer either.

    I wouldn’t overthink it too much. Pretty much any decent card should handle it fine.

    I’d probably just grab a decent class 10 card and call it a day—better safe than sorry with an old one that might stutter. I usually pick up a 64GB Sandisk for my travel stuff and it’s been fine so far.

    Just grab a decent class 10 card and you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t bother digging up some old slow one from a drawer.

    Honestly, it’s probably not a big deal. Any class 10 card should be fine, even a budget one. I wouldn’t bother digging out some ancient card though, just grab a new one and you’re set.

    I mean, it’s probably fine with anything modern. I wouldn’t dig out some ancient card from a drawer, but most stuff sold now should handle it.

    Honestly, if you’re buying a new camera for snorkeling, just get a new card too. Old ones are slow and might corrupt your footage when you’re in the water.

    Honestly, I wouldn’t worry too much about it. I’ve just been using a standard class 10 card in mine and it’s been totally fine for snorkeling clips. You could probably grab any decent one from a shop and not overthink it.

    I just grabbed a regular class 10 card from the store for mine and it’s been working fine for snorkeling videos. Nothing too fancy needed, really.

    Alright, thanks for the replies everyone. Sounds like I was overthinking it a bit. I’ll just grab a new class 10 card to be safe and not risk losing any holiday footage. Cheers for clearing that up.

    I’d go with a decent class 10 just to be safe. The camera itself isn’t super picky, but 4K footage adds up fast and a slow card can stutter or stop recording at the worst moment. I’ve had that happen with other cameras, not this one specifically, but it’s just not worth the hassle when cards are cheap now.
