$35 CFast Card on BH Deal Zone just today only

PostFri Jan 13, 2023 4:40 pm

This is savings I could not pass so I bought a few. I don't usually buy large capacity CFAST cards because the denser they are the more prone to failure it makes them especially at high write speeds. So I usually keep at a 64Gb or 128Gb cards and just use multiple of them on set. Just sharing the link if you are interested but this is just good for the day. I used this brand before on my UMP G2 and I was even able to record at 4K DCI 24fps BRAW Q0 and 3:1. With faster framerates like 60fps in 4K or 6K @ 24fps, it successfully record BRAW 5:1.

Glad I was able to get a few. It sold out so quickly. :(

I bought 2 KomputerBay x3700 CFast 2.0 256GB cards from Amazon recently for £300. They are approved for my UBG2 by BMD and I thought that was a good deal. Well done Ellory.

For 2 x 256GB cards, £300 was definitely a good deal too.

By noon PST, they were sold out, but I was able to get the last used ones for slightly more.

Thanks for posting.

This was a great buy when it was a deal. However, it has reverted back to the original price. Nevertheless, I got mine in yesterday of which I bought 6. I just want to report that I tested them today on the UMP 4.6K G2 and the Pocket 6K. The results was astonishing although due to the capacity and my type of projects, I'll be shooting in 24fps in either Prores 422 or at best BRAW 8.1, all times in 4K resolution.

But here are the test results and I stressed it out to the max to see if I can induce it to drop frames.

UMP G2 - Shot in 4.6K @ 59 fps, BRAW Q0 and BRAW 3.1
Shot in 4.6K @ 30 fps, Prores 444 and XQ
Pocket 6K - Shot in 6K @ 50fps, BRAW Q0 and BRAW 3.1

Run it until I was out of space. All the tests never dropped frames. I was pretty impressed with this Hoodman Professional 3700X Cfast 2.0.
