Gopro memory card vibrating loose

[Deven]

I know many people have gopros and not sure how many people have experienced there memory card backing out enough Tibet a card error reading but I has happened to me and a few others I know on a few different gopros.

It has only happened when I frame mounted my gopro camera. Never when on my helmet or jet ski.

My simple fix my last ride and seemed to work wa a piece of electrical tap on the card side to hold the card from vibrating. Seemed to work great our last outing.

any chance your cards locking tabs are broke or wore down?

I've never had an issue with it but a buddy of mine did. He wedges in a dime to hold it in place and he hasn't had a problem since. Don't know what causes it.

No, new cards and new gopro. I know of a few people that have had tho problem and also read about it on a couple gopro forums.

Only when it is frame mounted though.

A lot more vib on the frame than when mounted to on your helmet. The next ride I will mount mine to the frame and see how it goes..

if its new just return it.. and when you get the new one make sure you do the program upgrade..

Gopro has some issues with this. Either the card wiggling out, or the card moving so much that it loses contact and stops recording. I haven't had the problem with my Hero2, but had it towards the end of my original HDhero.

i only had it once on my HD2 and it was handlebar mounted. i think you have the right idea how to fix it. tape it in and your good to go
