New SanDisk Extreme Pro 95 SD's no longer working in BM gear

PostMon Nov 19, 2018 2:45 pm

Hi All

I recently purchased a BMPCC, Micro and V5" BM Video assist. Hugely excited about filming in RAW i headed off to a registered SanDisk reseller to purchase the recommended SanDisk Extreme Pro UHS 1 SDXC 95MB/s V30 cards.

To my horror none of them were recognised in any of the gear. I updated firmware and even exchanged the cards with no luck. (Format option doesnt show up either) I then went to a friend's house with BM gear and tested the cards in his BM gear and also no luck. Tried my friend's 128MB Extreme Pro 95 cards in my gear and worked perfectly. (My friend's bought theirs about a year ago.)

Eventually phoned the SanDisk distributor and tried 2 more brand new cards....Even 64GB ones. Nothing worked. Tried formatting Exfat...even tried MAC format...nothing worked.

Tried Sony and Lexar UHCII's and I's, worked first time.

It's evident that Sandisk changed something on their Card Firmware. My question is...Has anyone else experienced this problem? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Kind Regards

It looks like there are issues with some batches.

Thanks so much! I'll re-post there for record purposes and forward the forum link to our local BM and SANDISK rep.
