Any class 10 SDhc card should do the job.... ebuyer or amazon are fairly cheap... avoid the unbranded ones but the "usual" names are ok.

The gopro 4 isnt particularly hammering the cards compared to say an SLR filming in uncompressed RAW!

I beg to differ
Recording HD video a 60 frames a second is much more than RAW stills
We run 4GB in Nikon D3's and will be running 16Gb or 32Gb in the D4's and D810's as they do HD video
The GoPro 4's run mainly Sandisc extreme 16Gb and higher.
It's all about the transfer speed

To clarify.. I am talking about FILMING in RAW... so 24fps RAW... mega data rates!

Sandisk extreme pro is still only a class 10 card!

When i bought my gopro 3+ last year jessop did a good deal with the sandisc exreme 64G which i went with.
the bit of reseach i did had good reviews on that card for the gopro
I don't know much about memory cards, are the class 10 cards all the same? with transfer rates ect
