I bought the lightening SD card adapter thinking I could use my iPad to store films and still pics from my GoPro Hero 3 SD card to fr space when on holiday....
When I plug it in with the SD card from my normal camera it works fine but when I use the GoPro SD it says it can't import. Is there an app or something others use?
Cheers
iPad, iOS 6.0.1
SDHC 32 gig cards should work, the problem with SDXC cards is that I think that they are ExFAT pre-formatted, which the iPad and the kit doesn't recognise. This page lists the supported transfer types (for direct transfer from a camera) and card types :
- Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP)
- Mass Storage Device protocol
- SDSC
- SDHC
- miniSD
- microSD
- MMC
- SDXC (supported only when not formatted as ExFAT)
What capacity and type of card is it ? SDXC cards (64+ gig) that are formatted as ExFAT won't be recognised
Thanks it's the sandisk Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 micro SDXC ill try a different format then?
There appears to be no published SD card size limit, but in this forum and other forums, users report that SD cards are limited to 32GB.

So in theory if I got a 32GB micro SDXC it should work?
Cheers guys
Thanks for all your help.
Update for all the kind people who posted to my question the 32Gb card arrived this aft, used on movie and stills in the Hero 3 and when plugged into the adapter they arrived straight onto the iPad..
Thanks again and Happy Christmas!
Why can't I download from my GO PRO sd card using the lightening connector?
