Thank you so much! I bought Kingston Canvas Select Plus 256GB and it works like a charm for all formats and resolutions. You made my day!
bought the Kingston 512 gb and it works perfectly!
Thanks so much for the recommendation. It's just been sitting collecting dust for YEARS and now I can use it again
So glad to hear you found a solution! Good luck and have fun :)
Does it work with raw? Different frame rates?
Do you have any issues with the playback? Thanks
8 months later .. how's it workin? ps whats the RAW + 'long takes' @ 30fps situation?
I bought the Kingston card and it works horribly... what am I doing wrong. It's dropping frames left and right
I've been looking for something like this for so long. Thanks so much!
So glad it was helpful :)
You are a Life Saver! Thanks, Will
Happy to help!
I rarely subscribe, but gladly did this time! Wonderful videos, love your simplistic presentation style
Wow, thank you so much! I appreciate it and I glad you enjoyed :)
Your videos are sooo helpful !!! Thank you !!
So glad you find them useful!
Thank you so much for posting this video! I was afraid that my cameras would become useless pretty soon. At least now I know there are some options. Thanks again!
So glad it was helpful! :)
Will try this out thanks for the video!
Absolutely. Thanks for watching! :)
u are very helpful. I keep coming back to your videos.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much you are a lifesaver!!!! already subscribe with thanks in my heart!
Thank you, glad it was helpful :)
Thanks for the helpful and informative video. I’m going to get a couple Kingston cards as a backup for my Sandisk 512 on your recommendation!
Super! And thanks for watching :)
I've been looking for the SD for Original BMPCC for long time, finally I went to store and bought the Kingston one.....and it works perfect!! Thanks for you info!
So glad you found it helpful :)
Thank you, I was looking for this information.
So glad you found it useful! :)
Thank you for making this video! I just purchased the Kingston 512GB, and it should be here Saturday.
Glad it helped!
THANK YOU. I was on track to sell mine because those out-of-production sandisk cards were a pain to find & my dog chewed up my last working one. The Canvas Plus worked perfectly, and I'm utterly re-invigorated to start shooting!
Thanks so much for this info, it was very useful 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Glad it was helpful!
I don't have a BMPCC, yet. So this is great info.
So glad you found it helpful! :)
Thanks Will! My OG BMPCC from Ebay is on its way, from Greece to the U.S., and I much appreciate you and all that you share. Blessings, brother. 🏆 Carlos
Thanks man! Good luck and have fun with the camera! :)
@@WillvonTagen 👍 Very welcome, bro, and much appreciated! Will do. 😉 ✌
So informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Great info! 👏👏👏👏
Super! Habe die BMPCC vor ein paar Wochen gekauft, ohne mich über diese SD-Karten Situation informiert zu haben und war einigermaßen frustriert, bis ich 2 der alten von Blackmagic empfohlenen Versionen der San Disk Karten auf eBay gefunden habe. Aber nach deinem Video bin ich jetzt auch für die Zukunft gerüstet. Danke!
Toll! Ja, ich glaube viele sind davon frustriert, aber ich freue mich fuer dich :) Viel Spass damit! :)
I feel like this episode was made for me, haha! Thank you so much. I've been using the ultra expensive 300mb/s SanDisk cards, and they take a lot of tinkering before they work and drop frames in 24fps RAW for roughly one in every ten shots. These good cheap options will be hugely beneficial!
Glad I could help! :)
what do you mean with 'they take a lot of tinkering before they work '
@@vintagetelecinediy3537I know right .. I have the Kingston card and I get the dropped frame thing every time I record.
Thanks for this one, ordered the kingston 128gb for about 15€ on a mason and it works great!
Very helpful. Thanks.
Thanks you!
I wish this video had been out a week ago, I just purchased a card but it was the sdsdxxg so now to buy another card. thanks for the helpful info.
Oh no! I hope you can find something else worthwhile with the other card! Thanks for watching :)
Very useful. Thanks.
Thanks for watching! :)
Helpful video
cool videos
do please more about original bmpcc
I love it great job
Thank you!
Thank you for this, I've tried so many sandisks and none worked. Finally found the correct one on amazon, came today and was falsely advertised and was once again a newer version. Just bought the kingston and if it works, it's a real bargain.
I'm in lockdown presently, expecting one of these "vintage" bad boys to arrive in my hands to play with in a few days to keep me amused. It was such a drama finding the right SD card for my pocket 4K, I hadn't even considered that some of my SD cards might not work for the OG pocket. Thanks for the heads up.
Glad I could help! Good luck, have fun and stay safe! :)
👍👍👍 thank you!
You are welcome :)
Thanks for this great information, I’ve invested in five original black magic pocket and micro cinema cameras in the past 10 years and I’m still using them today for commercial work. I’m finding it harder and harder to get my hands on compatible SD cards. I’m stockpiling as many as I can these days as insurance against occasional card failures. I’m heading over to Amazon right now to order a few ultras to keep as back ups.
Which cards work best for bmmcc(micro) at raw 60fps?
Dude, your videos are amazing! Can you make video about color grading? it would be cool if you explain about it
Thank you! Someone else just asked about color grading so I guess I will need to get something together :)
Yes, let's build a community around it. This camera is great. All content that I find about color grading BMPCC's footage seems so outdated.
Thank you -- Been having same problem. Seems like with every passing year, less and less SD cards are available that work for original for Black Magic. Even the regular high performance PNY sd cards are discontinued, which worked well
For those wanting to test cards, please read the "write" speeds in the specs. 100MB/sec is typically "read" speeds on a SD card. 90MB/sec "Write Speeds" seems to the minimum it will take.
What an essential help you have created and I would have loved to have seen it earlier as I am new to the Original-MPCC with much to learn and decisions and purchases to make.
I may report that the ScanDisk Ultra MICRO-SDXC 128 GB Card with adapter works in Raw 24p (not 30p) which I just bought from Saturn in Germany for € 19,49 (SDSQUNS-128GB-GN6TA)
Glad I could help and thanks for the tip! :)
January 2022 - Will - a short note to confirm that the current (late 2021/early 2022) Kingston Canvas Select Plus - SDXC - 100 MB/s Read Class 10UHS-1 U1 V30 (SDS2), both the 256 GB and 512 GB, are recognized by both the BMPCC and the BMMCC. I've not done a thorough investigation as you did on the 128 GB; my initial check shows both the 256 and 512 GB cards are recognized and work at 24 FPS.
Awesome! Thanks for the update--and just in time, I am working on a review of the BMMCC and it will be great to talk about the cards there as well. Thanks! :)
Thank you for sharing this information. I‘m thinking about buying the 512GB card, too. Is it solid?
I also have found that these Kingston cards work on both BMPCC OG’s that I have. Now I ran into another use for them. I had picked up a Video Assist from eBay. It didn’t recognize the card I had in my new Video Assist. After researching the issue I found out that this was an old version and didn’t recognize the new cards. I took a Kingston card out of the BMPCC and inserted it and it was immediately recognized. I have tried the 64, 128, 256, and 512 cards and they all work in these older Blackmagic Devices just fine. Thanks
@@chrisbogart687 Thanks for the confirmation on the Kingston's cards working on the older BM Video Assist. I have a 5" 12G monitor, purchased last year in which I'm using a 512 GB San Disk.
Hello, is the RAW recording working in 256 and 512 kingston cards?
Worth noting right now that 512gb card is only £108 on Amazon in the UK. Just ordered one for my Micro Cinema Camera. So glad someone finally distilled this information, the forums aren't helpful or digestible on this stuff it's such a pain. Great content man.
Thank you! :)
Search anything about this camera requires advanced search skills.
Does anyone know if it works in BMCC (original) at RAW 60fps? Any information is appreciated. Thank you
@@jmcastill1594 is not 60 fps in the og
cool ... i am interested in movies... seems like a great first camera...
It is definitely a powerful little guy. Just be prepared for a slight learning curve. It takes some time.
Thanks for this amazing card review....well...what about Kingston SD Card Canvas Go! Plus ....have you try it ?
I have not tried them but these definitely work :)
@@WillvonTagen Tested with Canvas GO! Plus 256 GB, work perfectly for RAW 24 and 30 Fps without drop frames
Kingston Canvas React 256 GB here, working great!
Fantastic!
I wish I had this video when I bought my BMPCC
Additionally, the SanDisk Extreme 90Mb/s with the gold label works RAW 24p and seems to work for 30 as well. Can be found on eBay for cheaper than the Kingston
Cool! Thanks for the Tip!
Actually I can give you a very good edge case that I use for filming at 30fps. It's to upscale it to 60fps on youtube for CZcams content. This gives me a better temporal resolution and also a better bitrate from youtube encoding. Final export is 1440p/60 and it looks nice imo. But thank you for all your in depth analysis, I hope you can do this kind of serie every year about sd cards compatibility with the BMPCC, because they might not be available most of them for much longer.
That is probably true, but personally I dislike 60fps even more than 30, LOL. I've always felt it just makes the motion look way too cheap and video-like. But that's just my flavor preference :)
Thank you very much for this. I have three of the now discontinued 5 inch BM Video Assist monitor recorders and am having a almost impossible job of finding a card that doesn't almost cost the same as the Video Assist originally did. Blackmagic have been of no help at all. I think from my research the Video Assist has the same technology as BMPCC. I'll try one and let you know..
I'm sorry, I don't have a lot of experience using the BMD VA for recording--I have only ever used them strictly for monitoring. Sorry I can't be of help.
The Kingston Canvas React Plus cards ! Fast as heck, and works perfectly with the BMPCC and BMMCC!
Thanks for the tip!
Did you mean the 300mb/s ? The newest version ? I plan to buy the blue one ( kingston canvas go plus ) because in my country doesnt have the green one. I wonder if it can does the same with the green
@@katsnguyen Yepp, the newest version:
www.amazon.com/Kingston-64GB-Canvas-Memory-Card-MLPR2/dp/B0858F5XKV/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_pdt_img_top?ie=UTF8
I have three of them, and all works perfectly with BMPCC and BMMCC.
@@szabolaszlo i just bought the canvas go! plus 128gb. It works too.
@@szabolaszlo No problems with RAW recording?
Thank you
You're welcome :)
I have the Kingston Canvas React 128 gb card and it works well with all formats.
Great little card!
I use them too. They are discontinued because now are React Plus. Sometimes got dropped frames in heat conditions.
@@EstudioAndante Damn! Didn't realise they were discontinued, I bought mine just a few months ago. Now have to look elsewhere for a backup card.
@@EstudioAndante "sometimes getting dropped frames in heat conditions" is the key here. That makes it basically useless. Are you always going to plan ahead in order to not get dropped frames? That will kill your creativity. You can't constantly think about a card that if it will drop frames or not.
@@saiashwin26 buy the new ones. React Plus. They work flawless. Ive tested the 256g 170m/s works well with all formats
Great video Will! I was wondering if you happen to know exactly what kind of usb cable the bmpcc og takes? Cause I can't seem to find out. Thanks!
Hmm. not exactly but they aren't anything special--just the older usb cables.
I have a BMPCC on the way. Thank god I never throw away anything. My Panasonic GF1 and GH4 cards should work with it.
It usually costs at least $1,000 to $3,000 to rig a camera out for shooting video; people just notice the high price of rigging out a bmpcc og because the camera is so cheap, but you can use the memory card and rigging stuff with other cameras too
I just bought a 256gb Kingston Canvas Select Plus and it works fine in my bmpcc. just fyi
I don't know how helpful this will be, but I've found that the 128gb cards from microcenter work extremely well, and they're cheap at around 12-15$ each.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip! :)
thx
Which brand is that may I ask?
I've been using the Toshiba Exceria Pro with no issues as well.
Great news! Thanks for sharing!
VERY helpful!!! May I ask, which of your films did you use the Original BMPCC on?
I filmed HERITAGE on it. I actually just uploaded a new video about the production (or re-production, rather) of it. Feel free to give it a look for some BTS on the shoot! :)
@@WillvonTagen too awesome! Is there a platform where I can purchase or rent it?
Hey, could you do a video on grading the og bmpcc footage? There seems to be very few resources regarding it, most of it is geared towards the bmpcc4k.
Hi! I'll see what I can put together. I am not AMAZING at grading but I know the basics well enough. Stay tuned :)
I agree. It will be great. When searching for, you fall on YT's 2013 content that is extremely different from today's video content. At first, the Blackmagic pocket cinema camera seems to be difficult footage to handle.
Switch the Raw color science to from 1 to 4 in Resolve & treat it like BMPCC4K footage.
@@Zton-yn4kc Thank you!
Another vote here for some insight into your grading of C-DNG Raw files. Also workflows and ways to save time and hard disk/storage space: I've only recently discovered SlimRaw for compressing the raw files from the BMCC, for example. And I'd be interested how you handle archiving old footage, balancing quality and file sizes for different purposes. Thanks again.
Great video--thanks!
For those buying the Sandisk Extreme 512GB 95MB/s SDSDXPA model from the link above, please BEWARE of the third party seller "Motto Deals", the will send a different card with a different model number (which, judging by the sales slip they enclosed, they purchased from B&H photo for 109 dollars and charged me 250) As of this date 3/16/22---they seem to be one of the only sellers listing this card, and when you select "Add to Cart", the order ships from them. Beware Motto Deals!
Thanks for the heads up! I wish BMD would release a new firmware update but fat chance of that happening. They have moved on, but I love my cameras dammit!
I went the expensive route and bought the BMD 5" HDR video assist means I can use pretty much any SD cards that are good enough and the Samsung SSD drives.
Sounds like a great solution!
Doesn't work with raw though.
@@Mr_Frequency Yeah it sucks but for what I'm using it for it doesn't matter.
Anglebird has cards guaranteed to work with the original BMPCC and the Micro. They’re not cheap, but they make some of the best cards you can buy. Last thing you want is dropped frames or a corrupt card on a paying shoot.
Awesome! Thanks for the tip :)
May I ask which anglebird model card you use or works?
@@mjgfromdallas I have the AV Pro SD V60. You are best to email them and ask. I asked and this is what they sent me.
They used to have a dedicated page on their site, but I don’t see it there now.
The Onn. 64GB card from Walmart works in raw at 24p. Only costs $10 as well.
Great tip! Thanks :)
Are you sure? These cards are listed at 55MB/sec Write speeds in which is well below 95MB/sec required for RAW.
@@michaelray5622 Absolutely. I tested them myself.
great video. what do you do when you have to shoot 60 fps for slowmotion? thanks bud
I don't tend to do much slow-motion, but if I do both my Pocket 4k and the Micro will shoot at 60 :)
Thanks for all the sd card info! So I purchased and tried out the recommended Kingston SD card but got the 256gb version instead. The camera still showed as no card. Would you recommend sticking only to the 128gb card as the 256gb may not be compatible? Thanks in advance!
Hmmm. Yes I didn't try with the 256 GB, but I just used the 128GB Kingston on a shoot this weekend and did a 15 minute continuous record with no issues.. So yes, maybe just stick to the 128 GB.. Sorry about that!
for me the SD card stuff was a nightmare when I got my used bmpcc, I landed on a used 512 extreme pro for 100 bucks (didn't realize how much of a bargain it was!), holds 2hr Raw no issues. After my experience I can go further in protips: if you get the sandisk, absolutely get the sandisk USB SD card reader, it is the only way to transfer from the card at the max speed allowed.
Cool tip! That's definitely good to know and I'm glad you got a sturdy solution :)
Thank you so much for your public service
My Pleasure! Best of luck :)
Watch out. I accidentally ordered a SANDISK Extreme Pro 512 GB but it was a new one with way more than 95 MB/s a second. I guess it was too modern for my BMPCC OG cuz it won't read.
great suggestions, but a quick warning, there are alot of fake cards being sold especially Sandisk (on ebay AND amazon!), when you get the card make sure to test the write and reed speeds, use an app to check&tesfill the capacity and authenticity of your SD cards. There are tons of free apps to verify the card, do this before you start using them, so you can try to get a refund if it is fake(even from resellers that claim to only sell authentic cards, seen them selling fakes ;))
Great tips! I once purchased a fake sandisk and fortunately I was able to get a refund. I got it off eBay and was a bit suspicious from the start because of the price. Once it arrived, something just didn't look right--and after close inspection (and comparing to my other cards) the label sticker had several different details. Very small, but definitely there.
Recap: 2:26 SanDisk Extreme Pro 512GB, 6:17 SanDisk Ultra 128 GB / 80mb, 10:26 Kingston 128GB
I haven't seen a card yet that is not Extreme Pro that did not drop frames for at least one people or more. Whether it's Kingston or Sony or Samsung or Integrals or Angelbird or anything else. My 128G Extreme Pro has a chipped corner but still works. If it broke, I'm helpless.
Hi Will, thanks for the helpful video. Just to be sure, is it only the 512GB SDSDXPA that works? Or do all of the cards with SDSDXPA work ? 64GB, 128GB, etc,. Thanks.
I have only tested the 512, I cannot vouch for the others, sorry :-/
@@WillvonTagen , all good. Thanks for getting back.
Well i bought the kingston card in the bio and im having ridiculously dropped frames. Nice
Well, your the first of hundreds to report that… Did you get the canvas-select plus 128gb or higher? Also if there are issues you can always return to Amazon for free. Sorry it’s not working out.
thank you for the video, my son is shooting his first short this weekend with the OG, we have been having issues with color grading it and getting the best look. do you have any vids that you would recommend us to watch
Hmm, I can't think of any off the top of my head. For sure download a free copy of DaVinci Resolve from Blackmagic and watch some videos on color grading. Download some free LUTs, and while shooting--focus on getting good exposure. Use the tools that are built into the camera (like Zebra Stripes and the Histogram) for exposure and NOT how it looks on the back of the camera. If possible, shoot in RAW to get the most control of the footage after the shoot. And be patient for sure. This camera takes some learning but can create wonderful results!
Look into getting an Infra Red cut filter or a 'hot mirror' for your lenses. The OG BMPCC suffers from an infra red contamination problem which needs a physical filter to fix. It is not easy to fix in post.
and sandisk extreme pro SDSDXXY-064G-ANCIN. It’s good?
I had this camera in 2018, the SD card fiasco was a nightmare! Some worked, some didn't and ones people recommended didn't work, my main reason for sacking it off, regretfully.
That's too bad :(
kingston canvas react SDXC 256gb works for RAW 30fps too.
Cool! Good to know :) Thanks for the info.
Does anyone know if it works in BMCC (original) at RAW 60fps? Any information is appreciated. Thank you
"Not to frame shame. Hashtag frameshame. Can you do... woke... with camera talk?"
And BOOM right there I love Mr Von Tagen even more.
Hahaha, thanks man! :)
Would the Kingston Canvas be good enough for pro work? (feature film)
My Kingston 64GB SDS2 is dropping frames like crazy. But I have a Kingston 128GB that works perfectly!
Thanks for the video, can anyone comment on any of these SD cards working on the BMPCC4K as well as the BMPCC OG as it might be nice if the cards worked in both cameras? Thanks :)
Hey Matt, I have used both the Sandisk Extreme 512GB and the Kingston Canvas in my BMPCC4k shooting BRAW 1:8 @ 24fps up to 60fps with no problem. I haven't tried any other settings of BRAW, but I imaging it could handle the 1:5 as well.
How much should I pay for a used BMPCC right now. Nice content by the way, new sub!
It really depends on what it includes. A lot of times they will be sold with cages, cards and lenses. So evaluate each one and then decide if you want to keep the accessories (a definite yes if it is a cage from Wooden Camera or Contineo or Small rig)--or if you don't need them and can sell them off to bring down your final price.
For just a camera alone--at the time of writing this--you can still find them for $350-450 if you are patient. With accessories between $550-650 will be a good deal if you can sell off or consider the value (it is hard to find a good cage for under $100).
@@WillvonTagen Thanks for taking the time to respond, and the information, I got a local dela for a 6k (EF Mount), it is good to me because i am old time Canon user and have a 24-105 and 40 40 lenses that can go good with it. Also i am planning to get a a Rokinon 35 mm 1.5 lenses (any experience with them?) love the idea of manual exposure, the speed and the focus.
I have the SanDisk Ultra 128 gb 100mb/s. It is combatiple and works fine on all ProsRes formats. Despite the faster write speed than the 80mb/s Ultra, my card will not run RAW on the bmpcc for more than 10 seconds :( Seriously considering investing in the Extreme 512 :D
The 512 was a chunk of change but I must say--when you pop it in and see how much record time it gives you it feel soooooo nice to know you can go all day without running out of space.
mine gave out on me a month ago any help or suggestions? wont turn on or charge
Would someone know if the "Lexar 633X 512GB 95MB/s Professional U3 V30 SDXC " is working with the original BMPCC? Thanks in advance.
You have to verify that serial numbers on the Sandisk cards will work with the BMPCC OG before pulling the trigger. Glad I stocked up on the larger sizes when I did because they also work for 4K/10bit on the GH5.
how can I do that?
Great video !!! It is pure gold :)
Has anyone tried any of these cards on the BMMCC (original Micro)? Does it work well in RAW 60fps or RAW 30fps? Thanks in advance
Thanks for watching. I haven't tested any of these on the BMMCC, so I cannot say for sure. If I get my hands on one to test I will try the various cards and let you know!
What cards did you find work with BMMCC 60fps RAW?
the “sony 128gb SF-GU1Z” works with the bmmcc, i tested 60fps RAW 3:1 and it works flawlessly. So i think this card should record raw in the original bmpcc.
All the codecs and frame rates are supported by this sd card in the bmmcc.
i bought it from Amazon UK, just be sure that the code in the card be SF-GU1Z.
Great advice! How are you enjoying the BMMCC? I owned one for about 6 months before going back to the old pocket.. I couldn't get past m annoyance of the menu and the "dread lock" connector LOL
@@WillvonTagen haha same here, navigating through the menu is still annoying but it helps increase patience hahaha
I like the size and portability of the camera, having 60fps in raw and slow motion with it is one of my favorite things.
i use a meike 25mm mini prime lens with a variable nd filter in it and the image quality is awesome.
Hi Will, I’ve got Sandisk extreme 256gb 95Mb/s card and tried recording. Every time I do this I got a folder and many files in a folder for each shot, when I put the contents of the folder (1 folder for each shot I presume) then I get small bits of the shot, maybe few seconds to about 10secs each and I have to join them together in Davinci??? I seen your videos and seen that each of your shots is like a full clip, but mine are not like that.
I don’t know what I’m doing wrong? Can you help at all with some guidance/ info? Thank you very much.
What's the camera/lens you use in filming this tutorial?
Hey! I use the BMPCC 4K with a Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 + Metabones .71 :)
Hi, do you know if the newer Kingston Canvas Select (the Mini SD black ones) also work with this camera?
You’re free to try but I have not ever tested them. The green ones, select plus, 128 and above are super cheap though-so I think it’s worth just going with what is proven.
Does Blackmagic have a list of compatible cards for the original BMPCC?
Kingston Canvas 64gb works great
Great to know!
the walmart onn 100mb memory card works great
Great tip!
May I ask, do those have dropped frames? Also, do they work in raw as well?
Quick question - does the original Blackmagic Video Assist (not the 4K version) have the same problem with incompatibility with some modern SD cards?
Hmmm. I believe it does, actually. But I would imagine the cards listed here would/should work--but I have not tested or verified this. This Forum Post seems to have some info on the issue: forum.blackmagicdesign.com/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=82771 Good Luck!
Will von Tagen Reading that thread, it seems the VA5 does indeed have the same card issues as the OG BMPCC. Even more reason for me to buy some of your recommended cards. Thanks again for the info.
How do I check for dropped frames? I have lots of SD cards to test
there's newer version of Sandisk Extreme 512GB 95MB/s, which has the writing speed of 170mb/s; does anybody know how the increased writing speed affects the usability?
I have not tested it, but that most likely will not work--just as the 128GB 170's don't work (which I have tested).
Great Advice here @WillVonTagen, but surely this camera is still a waste of time due to it's incredibly poor battery life no? 20 minutes and mine was gone! after 6 months it's battery even seemed to be melting and struggling after long charges?
Not at all. There are easy battery solutions for around $50 that will keep it running all day. Have a look at my other video on the camera here: czcams.com/video/EzJX6uaWPRc/video.html&lc=UgztGBIoJ1hHdFKhCR54AaABAg
Thanks for watching!
I bought a CCTV camera battery which I can plug into the camera via the DC input port. I attach this external battery to my tripod, shoulder rig or if I'm going completely handheld, I can just slip the battery into my pocket while it is attached to the camera with a longer cable.
Hi there, since I watched your video about the bmpcc og it really inspired me a lot and I wanted to buy one. However the used camera market in Germany is really expensive. All of the bmpccs used cost between 400-500 on eBay. How did you find yours so cheap man? Haha 500 Euros is still a chunk of money considering I need to get rig,monitor,mic,sd cards..
Hey! Yes, it takes a bit of patience, but if you regularly check ebay and Kleinanzeige you will find them (one sold on ebay.de yesterday for €400 and included a cage (worth at least €50-). I got my current one from mpb.com for €274--which I know is not typical, so I feel lucky. So it takes some time and some hunting but they are still out there for a good deal. A hint is to check ebay regularly, and had have the results listed by "Newly Listed" and go for the "Buy it Now." listings. Also set you Kleinanzeige settings to 500km. Often sellers will be willing to ship for items like this--I've gotten several lenses that way.
Will von Tagen thanks so much for the prompt response Will. I will take my time until I find the best deal.
Hi, I can confirm that Kingston Canvas 128GB works with my BMPCC OG, sadly not 32GB version, which I also have. I also tried my luck with Sandisk Extreme Pre 32 and 64GB but in vain.
Thanks for the info!
Do you have any problems with dropped frames? The Sandisk 64GB cards that I bought back in the day won't last forever so I need alternatives.
@@CreativeCookingVideos Only Canvas 128GB does not drop frames.
Just to let you know I've bought two Kingston Canvas Select Plus 128GB and it hasn't been recognised by my camera. Tried to format it, update the the firmware, etc. hasn't worked. Maybe something in the production changed since your video (now Jan 2024)
edit: bought on Amazon UK
Have you managed to get a card that does work and where did you get your firmware please?
I see that the BMPPC OG shoots at 60MB/s in RAW, but all of these cards are V30 only. Has anyone tested them shooting RAW, because it seems to me like none of them would work for long without dropping frames
Yes, I use the cards constantly and only shoot raw. They perform perfectly.
Tried the 64Gb Kingston Canvas Select Plus, the microSDXC version, and the dropped frames indicator lights up almost immediately on everything except ProResLT, is this normal?
I wouldn't use the 64BG card--start with the 128 or higher.
