Whenever I've contacted Bv about an issue one of the first replies is "use a genuine BlackVue SD card".
What makes BlackVue need their own very expensive SD cards in order to "guarantee" [BlackVue: "we cannot guarantee the perfect performance of cards from other manufacturers"] correct operation from their dashcams?
Is there something so special about Bv cameras that means the likes of SanDisk, Samsung, Kingston or the other major SD card manufacturers are unable to make cards good enough?
Or is it, as seems likely, simply a marketing ploy to put extra cash in the Bv pocket?
Granted, not all SD cards are the same quality, but using cards of the required spec has never caused me any problems... and saved me hundreds of pounds again using Bv cards!
It would be interesting to know how many users actually do use the genuine BlackVue SD card.
