Glad you’re finding it helpful! Just make sure to format your SD card in a way that aligns with your Tactacam’s needs.
I’m curious if anyone has had success using larger SD cards with FAT32? I wonder if it leads to performance issues or if it’s seamless.

I’ve tried a 64GB formatted as FAT32, and while it worked fine at first, I noticed some lag during recording. Switching to exFAT fixed it.
Formatting an SD card for your Tactacam can be tricky, especially if you encounter errors. Make sure you’re using FAT32 format since it’s compatible with most devices. Has anyone faced issues with this?
I totally agree! I’ve had trouble with my SD card showing up in the app. Is there a specific size or brand that works best?

Make sure to check your card’s health by running a diagnostic check. Sometimes, corrupted cards cause problems during formatting.
I usually format my card using my computer first, then insert it into the Tactacam. It makes the recognition process a lot smoother.
Good tip, jasontanner! Do you recommend any particular software for formatting the SD card?
I’ve always used the built-in formatting option on the Tactacam device itself. It’s straightforward and minimizes risks of corruption.

If you’re worried about losing old footage, try making a backup before formatting. No one wants to accidentally erase something important!
That’s a great point, rodriguezronald! It’s always better to be safe than sorry. What’s the best way to back up footage?

I’d recommend using a card reader to upload footage to your computer before formatting. It’s fast and reliable!
Sometimes, formatting takes longer than expected. I once thought my card was stuck for good! Is that common?
Haha, I’ve been there too! Just be patient; sometimes it does the job eventually. What brands are you all using?
