microSD Memory Card Compatibility for VIRB Ultra 30 Action Cameras
The VIRB Action Cameras rely on a microSD card to store all videos, photos, G-Metrix data and track information. A microSD card must be inserted before the device can be used.
Use a card with the recommended class and size before capturing video for the best performance.
microSD Card Size:
- The maximum card size the VIRB Ultra 30 devices can hold is 128 gigabytes (GB)
- Garmin recommends using at least a 2GB card
- While cards below 2GB can be used, they will fill up quickly and are typically slower speeds
microSD Card Class/Speed:
- Use a class 10 or higher card such as UHS (ultra high speed)
- Recording at a high resolution and frame rate requires a high-speed microSD memory card to ensure the best video quality
- The speed microSD memory cards can read or write data is designated by the class of the card
- MicroSD cards lower than class 10, such as class 4 or 6, may experience stutter, pixelation, or lag in the video quality
