BMPCC OG | What MEMORY CARDS WORK in 2023?

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.

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.

[@WillvonTagen]

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! :)

[@afilmaniac]

Thank you for sharing this information. I‘m thinking about buying the 512GB card, too. Is it solid?

[@chrisbogart687]

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

[@WillvonTagen]

Awesome! Thanks for the tip! :)

[@ballroomrescue]

thx

[@mjgfromDDD]

Which brand is that may I ask?

[@neocaron87]

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 KZbin 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.

[@WillvonTagen]

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 :)

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 ;))

[@WillvonTagen]

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.

Any recommondation for BMMCC?. As a comment, I use an Atomos Field recorder/monitor with SSD cards to circumvent the SD cards issue.

[@WillvonTagen]

The Kingston Canvas Selects work great in the BMMCC. I tested a 256 GB card last week. It ran for 15 min straight at 60p in 3:1 Raw before is showed a warning sign. I stopped and started recording again (no dropped frames or any issues in the footage) and it kept running without issue. I doubt anyone would do a straight record for beyond that in 60p... and the card works just fine in the other record modes. I would definitely suggest them.

@@WillvonTagen 'Kingston Canvas Selects' or 'Kingston Canvas Selects plus' ???

[@yeonyeji]

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?

[@WillvonTagen]

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).

[@divinodayacap3313]

What's the camera/lens you use in filming this tutorial?

[@WillvonTagen]

Hey! I use the BMPCC 4K with a Canon FD 20mm f/2.8 + Metabones .71 :)

[@snappy8k]

How do I check for dropped frames? I have lots of SD cards to test

[@sergioknuf]

Can i import files from black cinema pocket OG to ipad pro 3rd gen with Davinci?

[@WillvonTagen]

I’m not sure, I haven’t tried using Resolve on an iPad. Sorry :-/

[@beat_ou]

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.

[@WillvonTagen]

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

[@beat_ou]

@@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.

[@Klaytonlol]

kingston canvas react SDXC 256gb works for RAW 30fps too.

[@WillvonTagen]

Cool! Good to know :) Thanks for the info.

[@jmcastill1594]

Does anyone know if it works in BMCC (original) at RAW 60fps? Any information is appreciated. Thank you

[@juancantu2116]

When your shoot in raw, how do you get it to be read on your editing software? When I tried it was just in files

[@WillvonTagen]

Hey Jaun, you can either edit the files natively in Davinci Resolve (free from Blackmagic) or use resolve to create proxies/convert to another format for editing in another program.

[@EstudioAndante]

Drop the folder in Da vinci Resolve program media box.

[@Andybaby]

Q: I found a Sandisk Ultra, 128GB, SDSDUNC, same specs on the front, EXCEPT... it's 100mb/s (not 80mb/s like the one discussed here). Will it still work?

[@WillvonTagen]

Sorry for the late response. I have not tried that card so I cannot say with certainty. It really depends when it was made.

[@Andybaby]

@@WillvonTagen Ok.. I'll stick to the specific ones you mention then. Thanks!

[@h96films]

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.

[@MatheusPataro]

using the kingston UHS-I: U3 instead of UHS-I: U1 is a problem?

[@WillvonTagen]

Unfortunately I have not tested the U3 so I cannot say if it will work or not :-/

[@michaelray5622]

U1 does not have enough sustained write speeds to handle RAW so its will say "No SD" card after the camera does a really quick benchmark upon noticing a new SD card is placed in the slot/interface. U3 is fine. You should always check the write speeds and not the read speeds in the specifications of a SD card. 90MB/sec of write speeds seems to be the bare minimal for RAW 1080p 24p. Also, remove battery and place it back in after checking a SD card so that it resets.

[@jmcastill1594]

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

[@WillvonTagen]

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!

[@GlennUpgraded]

What cards did you find work with BMMCC 60fps RAW?

[@thomaswinkler2758]

I bought the Kingston 128 and it is not recognised by the camera at all. What firmware version did you test the card?

[@jacoooful]

Sandisk ultra 120mb/s, do you think this should work as well?

[@WillvonTagen]

I have not tested it, but I doubt it. I would suggest you for for the Kingston.

[@mattbrown-mb]

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 :)

[@WillvonTagen]

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.

[@natanaildanialichamaki5144]

But what do you think about sandisk extreme pro 256gb 170mb/s?

[@WillvonTagen]

I haven't tested it but I am 99% sure it would not work. It's just too new--beyond what BMD updated their firmware to accept.

[@miguelsierra752]

Tried the Sandisk Ultra 128 GB 80MB/s (bought on Amazon in Spain) and it does not work in RAW 24 fps. It shows the red alert signal and drops frames. ProRes HQ works with no problem.

[@miguelsierra752]

Deutschland version is, according to amazon, SDSDUNC-128G-GN6IN. Spanish version is SDSDUNC-128G-GZFIN

[@michaelray5622]

I think 90MB/sec is the bare minimum for RAW 24fps. I got the Lexar 677x 64GB today and its working with ProRes 422 thus far but have not tried recording in RAW. I will test it tomorrow considering its listed at 90MB/sec Write speeds. These Lexar 677x cards can purchased at Staples for $15-30 so that's really good news because most places with a Best Buy also have a Staples near by.

[@aako-dd1ly]

Well i bought the kingston card in the bio and im having ridiculously dropped frames. Nice

[@WillvonTagen]

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.

[@williambrowne]

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

[@WillvonTagen]

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.

[@kerwin93]

My Kingston 64GB SDS2 is dropping frames like crazy. But I have a Kingston 128GB that works perfectly!

[@MrDooom14]

I don’t know if you have try all of them ? But I try to Sandisk ultra 128 and it did not work . It shows that there is no card

[@WillvonTagen]

I tried all of them, and as you see in the video when the ULTRA it is inserted into the camera, the camera reads it. Perhaps try reformatting it exFAT on your computer.

[@Leonidaspa64]

The only Sandisk that work should have a product number starting with SDSDXP. No others will work.

In France what sd can i buy ?
