G1W C

[NateNateboo]

Hey all....

Just purchased a new G1W C... seems to work very weel but only came with a 4gb SD card which I dont think will record much, I did purchase some 32GB Sd Cards Via Ebay so they is getting sent back in the morning ....as I keeped getting error messages ...plus cant seem to view anything that it did record on my pc.....

So my question is should I be looking at a class 4 or 6 or class 10 cards...for a 32gb Cards...this is all new to me......whilst its just for local runs will be using when driving my HGV...so I got to have space to record a full days driving

Welcome NateNateboo 🙂

What I currently use on my G1WH is a Sandisk Ultra 32gb. They're apparently the best cards for this camera.

Thanks BadDriver.... Ive had a look at a local retail supermarket thats knocking them out at £10 each..might just give that a try... which class is yours ?

SanDisk, Kingston, Lexar, EMTEC, Samsung, Transcend, they all work and you should get a Class 1o.

Mine's a Class 10.

Thanks guys

Just out of interest how long can you record for with a 32gb card ...

Depends on resolution and bitrate, the highest versions of these will give you around four and a half hours

I got my G1W-C yesterday and I have a 32gb Sandisk Ultra Class 10 in it and seems to work fine.

It also depends on something else... 😉 (https://dashcamtalk.com/forum/threads/two-32gb-sd-cards-different-capacities-after-formatting.11690/)

only an approximation

Yeah, about 4+ hours for me. With some card tweaking you can probably get a 64GB to work giving much more recording time. Just stay with the most recommended cards as these cams can be picky about which ones they like- vary from that at your own risk.

As I wrote in the thread I mentioned above, my 32GB SanDisk can record 20min more than the 32GB Kingston. 🙂 It works well on both cameras but I just don't use it because it's not a class 10 and it takes a lot of time to download the files to the HDD.
