I used a 32GB sandisc and had all the same problems as you Dave. I lost some very important footage from a wedding that I'll never get back. Gopro said to reformat so I did. And re upgraded the firmware. I don't have the freezing up any more but I cannot fully trust this camera anymore. The 2 sec timer setting is more like 1 sec and I find the 5 sec is too long. The camera is warm to hot when using and when charging. Here is a file that I could not view, it had 1.07 GB of video but would not open. This happened 2 times during the shoot and gopro had no answers. All the other videos were great. I am very happy with quality and new options the gp3 has, its just now dependable!!!

It is not good.
After much playing ping pong emails with GP customer support I got what Icould source locally in finland which was a 16GB Sandisk. Its worked ok. Since getting back to the UK I have bought 2 32GB Sandisk cards but have not used them in anger yet. Now I think I will just stick with the 16GB for now.
Its NOT good.
The battery life really sucks, so much so the only real way you can use these is with battery back pack.
As soon as I can get some insurance money to replace what I lost in the fire Ill be getting a GoPro2!

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
funny, in one thread the GoPro is like the second coming of Christ but here it's barely useable. i'm about to pull the trigger on a GoPro3, so what's the verdict after some time in the field with these?
The GoPro site has a Lexar 32GB card for $50 US but I'm considering the SanDisc Class 10 card, 32GB for about $24 from amazon.
In case anyone's wondering, Yes, I did use the link on the homepage to enter the GoPro store so I could generate a small commission for the site.

i had an amazon sandisk class 10 like they sell and it locked up almost everytie i'd tunr it on. supposedly that update fixed it but i'd still get the better card no matter what mode you shoot on a black if you go that route. The resolution and picture is super nice on them when you get them on a dd gimbal

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
i had to buy a new black after this morning. Sucks........ had a zephyr lights out 600 feet up. P
too bad indeed.
my gopro 1 doesn't know it yet but it's going on the front of my FPV quad and I happen to have a personal goal of a 100 mph+ quad so it may not last very long out there! i bought the 3 figuring the 1 has its expiration date coming up fast.

Welcome to MultiRotorForums.com!!
an insurance claim or GoPro warranty claim? From the comments in their amazon listings it looks like they're trying to do damage control and show that things are back working normally.

its the insurance when you check out. Spill and fall. We crashed a gh3 and chipped the lens. They picked up the bill for a new one. All our cameras are on it now except the reds we get the additionaly insured waivers. I think the co is sq trade insurance, something like that. when you check out at amazon or bnh it's an option in a pop up window

Hey Bart, Kloners right, its the Spill and Fall through Square Trade. The bizarre thing is...if you buy in New York from B&HPhoto and you live (or in our case, ship) from New York, it may not be part of your Shopping Cart options... Dont ask me why, some regulation etc etc.... In that case you need to contact SquareTrade and make the purchase directly through them.
We CRATERED one of our Blacks (and the Disco it was on), not a spill, not a fall, I'm talking smashed, wires and **** sticking out etc.., sent the cam back, and they are replacing the Camera without a fuss!! So, so far, money very well spent.
