I bought a GoPro - HERO5 Black 4K for $400 for a vacation - wanted to transfer my videos to my laptop and i'm hit with USB2.0 speeds.. So what do I do? Set up my camera as a wireless access point and use wget to transfer my files. ugh.
Yeah, I found the same with my GoPro, but you don't have to go to the trouble of setting up an AP, just get a UHS sdcard and pop it out and into a compatible reader.
Totally! I do that now, but couldn't on vacation and had to free up space for the next day of underwater videos!
And was it faster?
Oh yes - I should have included that - 2mbs on usb vs 40 mbs on wifi
