Howto avoid the action camera crash when shooting

Why does my sport camera freeze?
A low-quality memory card can also cause a crash, so how do I choose the right motion camera memory card?
The "memory card" is mainly based on "flash memory" (SD card). In fact, whether a memory card is easy to use, the key is the speed at which the card stores data. If the storage speed is too slowly, it will cause a data error.
So how do you buy the right SD card for your action camera?
The speed at which the flash card has two parameters of maximum speed and minimum speed.
1. The highest speed of the flash card
There is a parameter"M" on the flash card to indicate the fastest storage speed. The highest rate is expressed in M/S. For example, 30M/S means that the highest achievable speed of the card is 30MB per second. If you are considering taking a photo, mainly look at this data. Especially for taking photos of large-capacity files in high resolution or RAW format.
The faster the memory card is transferred, the faster the file can be stored, and the next picture can betaken faster.
2. How to choose flash memory for sport video camera
For example, the Sony EX1R requires the flash card to be at a rate above CLASS 10, and the Panasonic 153MC requires the SD card to be at a rate above CLASS 4. In actual use, the minimum storage speed requirement must be guaranteed. As for the highest speed, you can count it. Example with EX1R: 1920*1080HQ HD shooting, code stream 35M. Then the transmission speed is 35Mbps/8bit=4.38MB/s
That is, a card with a speed of "5M" or more can allow the camera to be stored smoothly to prevent the camera from being stuck when shooting.
