Honestly, I haven't verified. You need a 100Mbps card more for timelapses than you do for video. Recording a photo every 1 or 2 seconds is very hardware demanding.

For those who do not know an SD card usually identifies it's specs on the card -- here is what you are looking for on the card -- this like many things dealing with computer is confusing.
The SD card needs to be at marked at least a "UHS speed class" of 3 to be compatible with the Evo. This being said not all SD cards are equal in performance and your mileage will vary. Also the "confusing part" is SD cards are marked with a number -- with a circular or rectangular-ish outline -- and the numbers do not go in order. The card may or may not have these markings -- or on some cards -- they have just about any marking imaginable all saying the same thing.
I myself went with a competitor card when getting a second one to have on hand... and it seems to work just like the original card that come with the Evo. No issues yet.
SD cards marked with a "UHS speed class" of 1 or "Speed class" 10, I have not tried, as it would not be fast enough to keep up with 4K video. They should keep up with HD video and photos though.
I do not really know without popping one of my older class 1 or class 10 cards into the Evo and finding out.

Mine is better, because it has the word Evo on it. ?
On a serious note. You can use a UHS 1 for 4K60, but only in H.264. I haven't tried it on the Evo, but I did on my Phanton. It was the only card empty and I took the risk, one fateful day.
I had been scoping out that brand you mention -- but when I went to pick it up -- it wasn't on sale anymore -- the PNY one was. I was happy to find this brand seems OK with the Evo.
In my experience with stuff more related to PC's -- I have always had good luck with names like Samsung, SanDisk; when PNY was not that great (storage,memory,etc).
I took a chance. Hopefully not the wrong one. ? lol
