List of Max SD card size by Camera Type

I uploaded clips from the v3 Pro to my laptop and they are 2560x1440 whereas the standard v3 and v2 are both 1920x1080… so it’s gotta be a different and much better compression.

So the clips being pulled from the SD card are 2K. That has got to be some serious compression.

What difference did you see between the file sizes of the 1m MP4 files on the different cams?

@BryanH

I’m running a little test and it appears that the v3 Pro uses less storage for 2k video than the v3/v2’s use for 1080 HD video.

That’s the incredible part. When I first fielded my V3Pro, I compared the file sizes. The V3 was generally in the 5.5MB per HD minute file whereas the V3Pro was 14-17MB per 2K minute. Doing the math, at that file size, I would need a 700GB card to just barely hold 30 days of video.

SD card - approx. number of days of video storage

You should be able to do the math from the MB used per minute of HD video and SD Video from the linked posts below. SD about 3 MB \ 1 minute MP4 HD about 5.5 MB \ 1 minute MP4 From my own experience on the V3Pro, each 1 minute MP4 recorded in 2K was between 14 and 17 MB, but I haven’t checked it since the original shipped firmware. They may have introduced some additional compression. The reason I say that is because with the numbers above, HD V3 record time should be 3 times the length of th…

Very interesting indeed.
