Hi everyone!
I'm really stuck so I decided to post my question here. Today I was shooting a video for a client in Marrakech on my BMPCC 6K Pro, Constant Bitrate, 8:1, 60 FPS onto my Samsung SSD T7.
I've never had any issues with this setup, but all of a sudden today it kept stopping with recording after 8 seconds, 10 seconds, sometimes 2 seconds. And if I would quickly press record again, I could film for up to like 40 seconds if I was lucky. But then the same trend would happen.
I had another Samsung SSD T7 with me, switched to that one and tried recording. Tried switching the (default) cables, but still the same issue.
I was thinking it was maybe due to the weather, it was about 30 degrees Celcius. But when I shot in Jordan a couple months back, minutes on end there was no issue. And I decided to take a break and live it in a room with AC but that didn't help. And when I switched to 6K full frame and tried recording 24 FPS seconds there was no issue.
I read in the forums that might card might be too slow, but I double checked the specs and it can write up to 500 mbit/s - 1000 mbit/s so this shouldn't be the issue right?
Also, I have never had this problem before. I also formatted both cards before the shoot so there wasn't anything on it.
I saw some people recommend the Angel CFast cards, but they are out of stock and also crazy expensive.
I don't know what I am doing wrong, or if you have any suggestions. But all help is greatly appreciated!
