When it comes to choosing an SD card, I’ve stuck with SanDisk Extreme and Samsung Evo Select—they’ve been super reliable for both video quality and storage. Just make sure you go for a UHS-1 U3 or V30-rated card; anything less might not keep up with high-resolution footage.

I carry far too much kit without cameras and my catches are not worth fiming.
