*SOLIDPOD UPDATE VIDEO:* czcams.com/video/jOCeOvqkGiU/video.html
*A lot of people have been asking me to do an update video and I apologize I've been super busy. In a nutshell the SolidPod has been the best accessory I own for the C200, basically if you own this camera this is a must have. I do plan to do a follow up video later this year explaining some other things so stay tuned for that.*
Hey mate thanks for the video! Any reliability issues? seems like an excellent way to make the RAW function truly usable.
mcmtv2 none at all, I've used this very extensively too even in extreme hot conditions.
Tnx dude...
@@mcmtv2 and do you test that od 1dx MK2 ? Or other camera?
Looks like tons and tons of ppl and other medias are waiting for your review and me included. So wild. Any idea when it will go up?
Searching for a dealer to purchase in Japan but... there doesn't seem to be anyone. Not even Amazon Japan. I need to figure out something.
Very interesting option. If it holds up overtime this would be an amazing alternative to the crazy expensive CFAST cards!
This system 100% levels this camera up in an much more accessible way. I never use the CFast cards on my C200 because of the cost. This solves that issue. Thanks for sharing!!
The world needs people like you
The crazy cost of packing so much memory in a small space. So glad people think of stuff like this
Indeed, although camera manufacturers should be doing this already!
exactly
Oh man.... CFAST was the breaking point in me choosing between C200 and UMP 4.6k.... this makes it tough
Yeah this changes everything.
This is selling for $400 on Amazon, plus $180 for the SSD = $580. So indeed it's cheaper than a CFAST, and double the size since the SSD is 1TB. But it's still really pricey. I hope this type of solution comes down to more reasonable pricing.
"Follow up in a month or two.."? No no no... You need to make 10 videos with this thing, then get back to us with a short update! This is Awesome!
Okay it's been a month Armando! :D
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I found a no-name brand on ebay, but this looks like it is more reliable.
Yeah I wouldn't trust a no name brand.
Nice upbeat, informative unboxing/preview, to the point, yet fun.
Thanks! 🙌🏼
That's dope! Although $400 and shipping to UK (Extra $200 at least) is gonna run about £500, nearly enough to buy a 512gb cfast card itself (egodisk). If I didn't already have a few 256gb cards, I'd definitely buy this! - Also, great video!
Such a great piece of gear for the C200. Can't wait to hear how it holds up over time though
Even if you can close the Cfast door, it looks flexed and isn't "sealed" which long term both of those things are not ideal in a professional workflow. It's also $400 (from what I can find). So add that to a SSD and you're at the cost of a 512gb internal Cfast card which gives you over 60 minutes on one card. Definitely an awesome option to have, but I'd like to see a ribbon cable or a piece that tricks the camera into thinking the door is closed instead of a cable just flexing the closed door.
The door not closing 100% isn't as bad as it looks. As you said it's not ideal in a pro environment or say you're flying a Gimbal. In reality Cfast cards just need to be cheaper, that's really the solution to this problem.
Armando Ferreira I totally agree. I just think in the grand scheme of camera costs ($7500) and a 512GB Cfast is ~$600 and covers 99% of jobs. Drop in the bucket. My batteries cost more for mine.
Brett Carlsen Agree for light projects 512 is suffice but for longer projects that require a lot of storage this thing is nice. But this is not for everyone and of course nothing beats the convince of popping in a CFast card that isn't tethered to something else.
AInt no way I am buying those high ass priced cfast cards. You are crazy for even defending them. SSD all day
probably going to see a lot (lets hope) me too products at lower price points. just a guess, this is built with off the shelf parts.
I'm saving up for this camera, so hopefully that converter works out in the long run. I would definitely like to record for longer without breaking the bank.
That’s good your going to do a follow up after “ thorough “ testing. A lot of biased CZcamsrs would give it the thumbs up before using it out in the real world. I wouldn’t rely on this product until it’s been thoroughly tested in various scenarios and reviewed by people like you. Great first vid!
Your videos are ALWAYS so well lit and produced. I'm a Canon C200 shooter and check out your vids frequently. I'd love to be a grip on set for one of your videos!
Amazing!! I saw the video of the guy who hacked one together but this is clean and a must have for long shoots. Thanks for sharing this man!
Larry Dickerson yeah so far I'm loving this solution, I don't care about using Cfast cards anymore. I'll keep them in case of an emergency but if this continues to work as advertised I will only use this.
3 Sandisk 512gb CFast cards. No connections, no wires, no external mounts. Over three hours of dependable 12 bit video. I love it with my C200.
test two same here but it coast me 3000 euros. Not cheap at all...
If you're staying in the small codec, this device makes sense. You could fit an entire shoot on 1 SSD, not having to open and swap drives.
But the C200 is at its best when shooting RAW, and you want the extended, less expensive storage for RAW shooting, and this drive will fill up on a big professional shoot.
Not a chance I'm swapping exposed electronics in the field when the drive is full. Not only can you not stick label on that drive anywhere, but storage of this drive will be a disaster waiting to happen. Static discharge anyone? This needed to be an SSD drive enclosure-- the SSD mounted inside a plastic, swappable housing (see the Atomos Inferno), not a drive intended for an internal machine.
I'm not going to diss the video, it's a quality review. But there are pitfalls in this device that make it completely unacceptable in a professional environment.
This changes the game!
Dude you gotta make a follow up video ... I am really curious to know if this solution works ... it will literally not make sell one of my kidneys to buy Cfasts ..
Wow. We have 3 C200's, I'm really curious on your thoughts on it after using it for a while. Thanks for posting, camera tech is mind blowing these days!
that is so good. what a niche piece of gear. going to buy this i think too
Awesome video
Keep uploading awesome content
I made a mistake of getting the *M.2* SSD instead of *mSATA* version. Took me a while to figure it out.
Looking for that follow up video!
The fact it doesn’t need external power is a real win. Looking forward to the stress tests. Would you mind testing out what happens to the raw files when the camera loses power? Will be interesting to see if the files are closed upon the next start up or if you lose any data.
Phil Scanlan great idea I'll definitely test that out!
Cant wait for follow up vid!!
Need that update video to see your experiences with this setup. Thinking about getting this...
Nice invention.
Guys just skip this product and stick to CFast cards, very reliable and swift workflow. If you can afford this camera you can afford a cfast card
I disagree, this thing is the best accessorie I've owned for the C200. It has nothing to do with affording CFast Cards. They don't make anything larger than 512GB Cfast cards which IMO is not enough. I've used this on so many projects and it's a MUST HAVE for any C200 owner.
WE STILL WAITING VIDEO... hellooouu?!
Just picked up a Canon C200. Looking at purchasing the SolidPod but wanted to see how it's holding up now that you've had it for a few months? BTW...nice job on the video. Looks great.
I've had mine for about 1 month and it's awesome.
Damn! This could be awesome...waiting to here about tests over the next month. Hope it works as advertised! I'll buy a couple for sure :)
I miss your phones videos. También estoy esperando tu canal en español
I wish canon would allow the Kondor blue ssd handle with pro blade SSD’s.
Thankyou so much for sharing 😍😍😍
thanks for the nice unboxing/review video 😉👍👍👍👍
So if this is the case then it shouldn’t be no complaining about middle codecs, just use raw and convert if you want to
Love your built rig
Daniel Dwiky thanks!
Wish they had a SD version for my gh5
oh yeah... me too...
hope someone figures something out soon.
From what I've read it's impossible. Sd to cfast is completely incompatible and would require something in between to translate which isn't ideal when recording. Best off using something like the Atomos ninja V over HDMI or going the pocket 4k route with usb-c to SSD.
What are you thoughts on this so far? Is it working out well? Nice video! This will probably save many c200 users :D
It's the best accessory I've owned for the C200
This is dope!!!
Game changing!
They stopped selling it on Amazon for some reason.
We are back on Amazon again!
@@nkisystems what happened.
That's awesome, so happy I found your video! Is it possible to record mp4 at the same time to an sd card as a back up/proxies?
I think it’s a great device but the price of the unit plus the price of the ssd. It’s still not cheap not to mention the cfast cards will eventually be cheaper.
I wonder if Atomos could get inspired by this and create a Cfast to SDI adapter to open up RAW to Prores recording like the FS5.
That would be awesome
They have... for the C300 mark ii...
The reason you don't need external power is because you are using msata SSD's. I hope people realize they can't just use a standard 2.5" SSD.
Also, you don't need to cut your door open. Check my channel for information about c200 cfast to ssd. It is a longer video, but i explain a lot of these things in great detail.
Man this is dope and I love the form factor. The 1tb SSD alone is super cheap. Most of all it requires no external power! I wonder if this will work for the Ursa Mini????
Yes, it will!
Does anyone know if this would work for the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K, recording at DCI 4K 60fps 12Bit lossless RAW?
On the product page it doesn't list it as supported, but the max write speed for the SolidPod is listed as "Max Read/Write Speed: 550 MB/s". When doubling the CinemaDNG RAW storage for 30fps DCI 4K, as listed on Blackmagic's website, the estimated value would be just shy of the max write speed, at 544 MB/s (272 MB/s * 2).
This is assuming that the SSD inside the SolidPod would also support that speed.
I purchased the Samsung 860 EVO 1TB mSATA SSD, but I use a different cable(Marian Munteanu). At 24fps 4k, works great. At 60fps 4k, the Canon C200 stops recording about 10-15 secs in, saying there's a buffering issue. Lame. I'm pretty sure it's the ssd not being able to keep up. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I think it's the ssd and not the cable.
that is really cool
Same concept as the mSATA drive to USB 3 from VideoDevices, If I were ever to built a camera I would use that same concept. I would go for NVMe PCIe to USB 3.1, built the enclosure and user would buy their own SSD drive.
Any updates on this yet? im excited to see more!
I have the Atomos Ninja Flame 4K HDMI with my C200. Do I still need the SolidPod solution?
News Moto C200 doesn't allow you to use an external recorder for 4K
that knife flick has me wondering apart from film is there something else you do that you have not disclosed?
I think I would prefer a seperate box I could put in my bag that just offloads the cfast to a standard 2.5inch ssd, than I could make do with just 2x 128gb c-fast cards
Can you then just insert the dummy CFast card into a reader and transfer the footage from the SSD through that? Awesome bit of kit was wondering when someone would bring something like this out.
Yes you can.
Awesome !!!
Cool stuff. Does it make the Cfast card door bulge? Would you be able to show a closeup of what it looks like with the door closed? Also, can you format the SSD from the camera? Or do you have to format it on a computer.
Curious to know how it's working out for you from the time you posted this? Picking up a C200 this week and if this thing works as well as it does in this video then I might pick myself up one before the end of the year!
Alex Matthew been working great no complaints, I love this thing and it's really changed my workflow.
Any follow video? This looks amazing.
Hello Armando, a big fan of your content here, I recently got my C200 and came across this old video of yours, are you still using this option with your camera? or are you using any other option to record Raw with the C200. Thank you in advance. Carlos.
Carlos Castillo I'm not using it anymore, not because it didn't work. Still a great device but at the time there weren't any 1TB Cfast cards. Companies now making them so I prefer to keep everything integrated even though it cost more
@@mondobytes Perfect, Thank you for your kind respond Sir. and keep up with the awesome work.
Kind Regards.
@@mondobytes Also, one more thing,
I would love to support your channels if you have an affiliate link to any of the Cfast cards you might be using at this precise moment.
Thank you.
Carlos.
LOL Canon got pwned. Now give us 10 bits NOW!
Armando, two questions: 1) Can you also use the PRO version of these drivers instead of the EVO? 2) B&H sells the Samsung 1TB 860 EVO SATA III 2.5" Internal SSD. Can these be opened to remove the chip inside to be used with a SolidPod? THANKS SO MUCH MAN!
I really like this idea Armando, but personally I'd prefer to just get a small external recorder - then again I'm sure this is much cheaper than a recorder - so I can monitor footage on a larger screen and get false colour, different recording options etc. But if you really have to keep your rig as compact as possible, this device looks like a great option. Do you know if it works exclusively with the C200?
Hey Mack, recorders are not suitable for Canon C200 due to its lack of external output options. SolidPod work with most devices that uses CFast card expect Arri Alexa, because it has a card whitelist.
You will not be able to shot raw with an external recorder if im correct..
The C200 can't record RAW to an external recorder. only to CFast cards, hence why this device is invented. (You can record other formats to external recorders but not RAW)
The best :]
God Bless you sweet child
its a miracle :) do an update after a few months if u can :)
Does it work with the 1DX II?
Same question here.
Same question here...
Yes it turns out that it does work on the 1DX2.
An accessory is required to use with the 1DX II, releasing in September.
Wow NKI is here. Never heard of them but this device is pretty cool. Hopefully they care about QC.
Now someone needs to come up with one that connects into an atomos recorder so we can get prores raw from the c200
Thank you for this video, I'm thinking about getting one myself for my c200b. What CFast 2.0 card reader do you use?
What is the model number of the handle you are using?
*NOTIFICATION SQQUUAD!*
:3
Briola Nugent 🙌🏼
DUDE!! WHERE DO I GET A BODYCAP LIKE THAT ORANGE ONE?!?
Hi! Is there a follow up video yet? How did it work in the field?
Hi Armando! I have a question for you and i hope at you are going to help me. what is The second unit camera to use when you are shooting a film or a music video with canon c200, and the best lenses to share between them.
Yep gotta get dis
Hola Armando, te sigo en tu canal en español, justo estaba buscando una opción como esta para RED Komodo, ¿Sabes si funciona sin problemas este recurso para evitar comprar tarjetas Cfast? Saludos.
I'm curious how you are feeling about this now. Any issues with the cable wearing out?
so I tried buying this other adapter called Zitay which is basically the old CCTech and i find it difficult to shut the door for my C200. Is it difficult to shut the door with the SolidPod? like it looks fairly easy in this video, but yeah, just don't want to risk not being able to close the door.
I wonder if this would work with other cameras that record to CFast cards. Any word on that?
We need this for cfexpress please.
How did you get around the media door not being closed to record. I have access to an xc15 and a c300 but the main issue is that I can't record without the media door being closed. Yes, there is a button that I can press to get the camera to think the door is closed, but I rent the cameras and need to come up with another way to keep that door button reliably pressed without releasing mid record.
Anyone come up with a solution for this?
Can I use this in Black Magic mini Ursa camera
So the Atoch C2S doesn't work on the C200? Because of the door...
I haven't tried it but it's very expensive and also its 3D printed and the quality is cheap.
Yes it is. Thanks for your response :)
Damn! How sturdy does the door feel with it closed on the cable?? I might have to get this!! Cfast cards are killing my wallet
sickhcivc door is sturdy, no complaints
Why did you choose the C200 over the Ursa Mini 4.6k or Red Raven? Could you do a video comparing C200 footage to Sony A7iii footage (Raw vs S-Log3)?
Take a look at my C200 review: czcams.com/video/jsUZz_l9sG0/video.html
Ok, so how you export the videos to PC?
Did you ever do a follow up? Has it lasted and been reliable?
It's been a month now. Any follow up report on it?
Sabes si sirve para una 5d Mark III?
yes, will somebody please see if the 1dxii door will close with this and work?
An accessory is required to use with the 1DX II, releasing in September.
What about using this on the 1dx mark ii?
From where to purchase this card from its urgent can you reply please
servira para una Ursa Mini?
Armando does it work for a red Komodo?
Armondo, How is the Solid Pod Holding up after a month? Is it a good buy?
Absolutely! Doing a follow up Video soon
Any update on this setup yet ?
