Contact Angelbird support beforehand. They will be able to give you the answer.

I have purchased in November 2020 2 cards from AngelBird AV PRO Micro SD card II U 3 Class 10 V60 A1 280MB/s.
Reason for purchase is to use with drone EVO 2 PRO, had TVC shoot and wanted to film 4K/60.
Was not confident in v30 cards despite some saying it will work.
Tested a few different cards and chose AngelBird.
Now, few weeks later, after the shoot all went well and I never even put much thought about bmpcc at the time, I tested them and I can say they are absolutely great !!!
I can record as long as i need in RAW settings and still to have a dropped frame.
Absolutely amazing!
I have not tested SD card by AngelBird however, Micro SD card one I stated above is great.
Hope this helps.

Just in case it helps anyone, I can confirm the Sony Tough SF-G128T 128GB cards work fine for the original BMPCC. These are the same SD cards approved for the Pocket6k and 6KPro, so while they're expensive, this one SD card seems to work for all the Pocket Camera family. Just make sure it's the "G" series.

My test was to record 1080p30 RAW, and recorded solidly for 29 minutes with no dropped frames.

I then reformatted the card with and did the same thing again at 1080p25 RAW, with no dropped frames.

Any info about compatibility of these new cards with legacy BM cameras and recorders?

Nice! I'll order one and test it in the BMMCC and original BMPCC and report back (probably in July...these cards won't be ready until sometime in June). If it doesn't work I have a stills camera I can use it in.

These finally became available and I received mine today. Unfortunately, I got the "No Card" error in both the original BMPCC and the BMMCC. Also tried my 5" original Video Assist, "No Card" there as well.

It was worth a try, but no luck.

Edit: seems I spoke too soon and the listing is already gone.

I find sometimes there is no rhyme or reason as to why these cards work and do not work. Formatting them using a Blackmagic camera also ensures the compatibility but very annoying when you buy one and it does not show up. What are you suppose to do?!
