Hello,

I'm gonna purchase a Panorama S for my cross-country trip. I'll make a time lapse video when it is done. I have two questions:

1) What kind of SD card do I need?
I probably will drive 8-14 hours every day. I'll move all recorded video clips to an external hard disk at hotel each night so I'll have an empty SD card every morning before I hit the road. I'm not sure if a 64GB SD card is necessary. Is a 32GB SD card big enough for 14 hours of driving? How about this one:

2) Do I need the CPL filter?

I'm not sure if it is helpful. Can it improve the video quality significantly?

Any ideas will be highly appreciated!!
 
a cpl filter will significantly reduce undesirable reflections.

32GB
12Mbps = 6.1 Hours
15Mbps = 4.9 Hours
18Mbps = 4 Hours

64GB
12Mbps = 12.1 Hours
15Mbps = 9.7 Hours
18Mbps = 8.1 Hours

128GB
12Mbps = 24.3 Hours
15Mbps = 19.4 Hours
18Mbps = 16.2 Hours

Is a Class 10 necessary in this application? I was looking at this one:
