GoPro Memory cards?

What class of SD card do you use in your gopro? I've been using a class 4 16gb and I can't seem to get the same quality as people like USC. Is it the card thats the problem or are they just really well corrected and edited?

Searched it and couldn't find anything so sorry if it a repost.

has nothing to do with the card, its probably a wrong mode you're filming, gopro hd has setting for 1080p, 960p, 720 (30/60fps)
1080p setting has best resolution but only has an angle of 120° view while the other modes have 170° ...

also bear in mind the USC edits don't just link raw footage and put it on a tune, if any editor is very good at processing/color adjusting, it's abek, the maker of the USC edits... it's probably not the resolution that's bugging you, but the cool colors and effects, which are all made in processing ....

^^this is true as well, if there is a significant loss of quality between raw footage (straight from the gopro) and footage in your edits, then you're probably exporting it wrong ....
