Also after using the cards in the GoPro, they wouldn't work in other devices until I reformatted them multiple times. There are other cameras on the market that do the same job for half the money and are easier to use and more compatible, so I just went that way.
As for the memory card, it should work. The Sandisk Ultra is absolutely the one to buy and it worked fine in my GoPro. The Hero3+ says it'll work with a 64G card. I don't know enough about the "non plus" version to say for sure. Above 32G you transition from SDHC to SDXC which I think is actually electrically different, not just software different.
Not picking on you but not sure why you had so many problems? I ordered a SD Extreme 64GB from Adorama (that has yet to arrive). In the meantime I stuck a cheapy SD card (it's like 128MB whatever series) and it's working fine. Of course I can't go nuts and record everything because of the size, but it's happy. Updated the firmware yesterday and all is good.
I have a Galaxy S4 phone and d/l their app to use as the remote. Had issues with that and one call to gopro CS solved it. So just looking to pick up accessories to finally really use this thing.
