Personal recommendation: SanDisk Extreme with U3 class
To put it very briefly: Get a SanDisk Extreme microSDXC with U3 class. In addition to the many other symbols and abbreviations on one memory card “U3” shows in particular that videos are saved at 30 MB/s. This means that both 4K recordings and HD slow-motion videos with high frame rates are stored reliably without data loss. Compatible with the GoPro Hero 12 is e.g. B. the SanDisk Extreme with 128 GB or 256 GB:

Tip: Use several small memory cards instead of just one large memory card
In addition to the 128GB and 256GB storage sizes highlighted above, there are also 512GB, 1TB and 2TB microSDXC cards available on the linked product page. However, there are several arguments in favor of using several small memory cards in rotation instead of permanently using one card with high storage capacity. Here are the five most important reasons:
- If a single small memory card fails, not all of the data that would be stored on a large card is lost.
- Experience has shown that cards with high storage capacities fail faster than those with smaller storage sizes.
- With photo cameras, action cams and drones, it is not uncommon for SD cards with too high a capacity to have reading problems.
- An SD card with a high storage capacity encourages you to save the data less frequently (e.g. transfer it to the computer), which is why recordings for a long period of time can be lost in the event of a failure.
- With several small memory cards, you always have a replacement with you - regardless of whether a card is full or cannot be used.
That's why it's very practical to have several memory cards for the GoPro HERO12 Black with 64 GB, 128 GB and / or 256 GB. Even instead of the 256 GB card, you might want to use two 128 GB memory cards. At least if you don't plan on doing long 4K recordings that would max out 256GB in a single take.
Conclusion on the topic
As you can see, the SanDisk Extreme U3 memory card in microSDXC format is the best choice for the GoPro Hero 12. The fact that GoPro itself recommends it for its own cameras is an important point here. But our positive experiences with SanDisk products in cameras and drones also play into the recommendation.
