Hi Folks,
I recognize that BM lists cards for the units but I feel like we should look at the other possibilities.
It looks like the list has been updated and SANDISK has been removed. I have not tested in 4k but I can tell you that I have been using the SANDISK Extreme Pro all the way to 1TB for over a year now to record 1080P Prores 422 with ZERO issues. I also use LEXAR Professional 256GB cards in the same scenario.
I think it would be helpful to list cards that are "rated" for 1080P as well as 4K. It was frustrating to me that when you did have Sandisk Extreme cards on the approved media list you only listed them up to 64GB. The other possibility is that the forum mods allow the list to include "unofficial" cards listed that members have used successfully (as I have) and give people more options to choose from based on their needs.
I think BM can protect themselves with verbiage to the effect of "here are cards that have not been tested by Blackmagic but have been successfully used by people in production" or something along those lines.
I recorded over 6 hours of content to a 1TB Sandisk Extreme Pro card a few weeks ago with zero issues. The footage has been gone through minute by minute and there are no errors or issues.
Thought it might be helpful to others.
Best,
David
