GoPro Hero 11 Capacity

What is the max capacity of memory cards that can be used with the GoPro Hero 11 Black?

The GoPro Hero11 Black takes micro sd memory cards ranging from 32GB to a theoretical maximum size of 2TB. To make the most of the improved battery life and bitrate of the Hero 11, using a card somewhere between 128GB-256GB is likely going to be the sweet spot for most people as this camera records at 120Mbps or 15MB/s.

 

GoPro Hero 11 Memory Card Compatibility

For the GoPro Hero 11 Black, it is important that you use a U3-speed micro SD memory card. These cards provide the minimum write speed of 30MB/s which is required by the camera as it shoots at 120mbps or 15MB/s.

To avoid any technical issues, it is recommended to stick to compatible memory cards that have been tested with the device. Avoid using specialty memory cards e.g. those intended for Nintendo switches, as these sometimes do not work. If you encounter problems such as battery life draining quickly or lost clips even though you have a compatible card, try switching cards or reducing the capacity from 512GB to 256GB, that’s helped me in the past.

 

Can You Use UHS-II cards?

Yes, UHS-II works fine but they do not improve the camera’s performance since the camera has only a single UHS-I memory card slot. For GoPro’s maximum speeds of 120mbps or 15MB/s, only a UHS-I U3 memory card is necessary.

If you are looking for faster footage offloading speeds with a UHS-II card, using an adapter to make your UHS-II card compatible with your computer might be beneficial.

Best Size Memory Card For GoPro Hero11 Black

What is the best size microSD card for the GoPro Hero11? With its maximum theoretical storage of around 2TB, at 5.3k 120Mbps you could theoretically capture around 2,276 minutes on a card.

For casual shooting, a 64GB card should suffice if you’re recording a fair amount of footage. However, if you plan on shooting over multiple days or have more intricate needs then the 128GB would be your best bet. This should provide you with enough room for extended use without worrying about running out of space.
