Pocket 6k, last firmware 7.9.1, cfast/ssd certified
i use bmd cameras from 2013, from cdng to prores and now with excellent braw from his born.
i often run out of battery, but never find corrupted files on cfast or ssd.
From 7.9 firmware i founded on same ssd (7 different ssd, 3 different brand sandisk, wise, samsung), and 2 cfast (same brand certified komputerbay) sometimes i had a corrupted files, braw that i cannot read directly from card, and if i put back card in camera, try to read in camera is not present in the list.
in 7.9 firmware we have more datas, gyro datas, this additional data seems change the way of recording.
gyro datas is a great addition, but... to me reability of recording is priority over every other feature.
do you want to test yourself? record a clip and remove battery during recording, every time corrupted.
Go back to 7.5 firmware, do the same, all clips are closed correctly also if i removed the battery.
the worst thing is that i never removed battery in the last months, I never meet the end of battery (since half of battery) but i have many corrupted clips during last shooting, i was lucky that are not important video, but... i miss reability of bmd.
yesterday i shoot some video for an adv on a Tibetan bridge on a mountain and cannot risk to not have right clip, i worked with firmware 7.5. i shooted 2.4 terabyte, all worked fine same setup hardware, and.. i stressed cameras on cable, on gimbal, i was hanging over the bridge to shoot a Drone like shooting and more..
to be precise.
- i format ssd and cfast ever in camera and ever before to shoot
- i had different strong usb cable for ssd (3 different brand approved)
- shooting 25p q5 6k
- camera in cage with lock for ssd and cable, also on tripods i found same problem
- cfast in use with these cameras from one years
- two different batch of pocket 6k give me same problem.
- stop on lost frame is on to avoid problem on support.
i hope bmd read, and if someother observe similar situation, give us feedback to found reason of this kind of problems to help developer to understand the reason and fight it.
Obviously I wrote also to support to have more info from them.
