Memory Card adapter sleeve question!

[Milamber]

Are there any concerns in using a MicroSD card inside a memory card adapter sleeve? I have a 64MB MicroSD card and want to use it in a SGZC12SG.

It looks like this:

It's not recommended. It's been shown to be unreliable long-term. You should use a full-size SD card the prices have come way down lately too

 

[Milamber]

Roger that! I will go grab a SDcard, I think this model takes 256GB?

 

[Street Guardian USA]

What firmware version are you on? 1.01.02 can take 256GB natively no problem.

 

[Milamber]

It hasn't arrived yet, so not sure.

 

[Street Guardian USA]

Oh then you're all set will support 256GB.

Before work I headed into Officeworks and unfortunately they don't sell anything over 64gb. I might have to go hunting on ebay for a larger sdcard.

Any particular brand that is favourable?

EBay has a lot of fakes unfortunately so don't recommend shopping there. Amazon has the best deal. Transcend, PNY, Lexar. Avoid EVO and SanDisk

The camera comes with a 32GB Toshiba SD card so you'll have something to use in the interim

I'm on tapatalk at the moment so can see where are you are located. If you are in Australia or New Zealand the local SGZC12SG version comes with a 32GB SD card. The USA edition does not come with a SD card.

Milamber is in Australia

Look up your card of choice with StaticIce http://www.staticice.com.au/
You might find a local shop with cheap stock. It'd definitely be cheaper than OfficeWorks.
I've bought my cards from CPLonline http://www.cplonline.com.au/memory-card/sd-card-micro-sd.html and MSY.com.au

A poor quality SD card creates a huge problem,
If 64GB is enough, the larger size is not recommended, as more capacity more challenge on SD card quality and compatibility with Dashcam.

Buy from a reputable source. Period.

Sandisk is a very reliable card. I use Sandisk exclusively. never had any issues with the card in over 4 dash cams i have used.

Amazon has a great returns policy, so if you have access to Amazon in your country, i would recommend to purchase there. worse case, you get a faulty card (unlikely if you get a card that fulfilled by amazon!), you can return with no issues.

yes ebay is best to be avoided!
