Over a couple of months I put these Anglebird 1TB CFexpress TypeA cards through their paces. News flash, they passed with flying colours. Fantastically priced, whopping 1TB size and far better than any card the competitor brands have to offer. These cards have been engineered for use with Sony Alpha and FX cameras, like the Sony, FX3, FX30, FX6 and some other ALHPA cameras. These card will get you the critical speed and performance for capturing lengthy, high-data rate video recording, stills, and burst photography in up to 8K RAW. Angelbird's Stable Stream™ technology supports steady and uninterrupted sustained write speeds of 650 MB/s maintained throughout the entire capacity of the card. So you can work with confidence on ambitious projects with high-speed recordings. Sony’s range of CFexpress Type A compatible cameras include Sony α1, Sony α7 IV, Sony α7S III, Sony FX3, and the Sony FX6.

Angelbird have stopped making these. They are not available.

That doesn't make the video irrelevant - they can still be bought via some retailers or used and this video was posted a long time ago. Sorry, but I'm not Angelbird, please email your concerns to them.

I have an Angelbird and at first it was fantastic but now it is soooo slow to copy data on. 214gb is taking over an hour to copy onto an SSD as I type this at the end of a shoot. The Sony’s are pricey but they hold their speed.

You may need to update the cards firmware

5:34 I like color coding, but i dont like using someone else’s color codes. So maybe you and me we can just use 3 rolls of different colored neon electrical tape. Then you can use a hole puncher to tap out a circle in whatever color then apply a sticker which wont wear down like paper and you get what you asked for here. Or just cut a 1/2” square and apply on the thinnest part of the card where you can see it in your card wallet or however you organize it. OWC computing just released a 480 GB card with DOUBLE THE DATA RATE for $320, or a 960GB for $520. 1,700 write speeds! Can this drive just live in a Sony A7IV and when i use a 20gb USB-C cable to my macbook can I get the 800+ read and writes without having to pull the card out and put it in a clunky card reader (the camera body is the card reader❤)? I had the idea that this could be better than carrying around SSD-USBc drives at 500-1000Mbps, this card living in the camera could now do that. Do people using CF-EXPRESS cards use the cars as a WORKING edit drive too instead of just capturing and offloading? Thanks @EntrNmHre

I am really curious how you are getting those speeds on the your thunder bay 8? I am running mine RAID 5 with 8 drives and I'm getting a little over 1100 mb/s.... ?

@cinechimp 2 ай бұрын

This is a great question, first I have two different models, the thunderbay and the flex. The Flex is NVME (fully saturates the 20Gbs available over thunderbolt 4, 20 is retained for image pipeline) and the Thunderbay is 8 x 16tb RAID 5, runs between 980 and 1300 on HDDs, depending on the workload. SAS drives in the FLEX would make it even faster again. On the system, stored media, proxy media, cache media and render destinations are all separate. There is no shared pipe an dis something a lot of people over look, plus as I only run HD monitors, the pipeline is left open for data. Hope this all helps if not theres other stuff on my channel explaining this as a resolve setup workflow.

How about doing a review of the PerGear CF Express Type A cards?

@cinechimp 2 ай бұрын

KZbin isn’t a platform for product negativity. What we can say is that we have purchased and tested them, and zero review = not worth informing you about. We don't post about stuff we wont use or continue to buy ourselves. Angelbird's released new 330GB cards, which we have, have tested, use and posted about, because they outperform the advertising. Hope this helps...

Will this work with a Blackmagic 4K camera?

@cinechimp 9 ай бұрын

The simple answer is NO, but also yes as you could record to it via USBC cable via a card reader.

Where can I buy this card

@cinechimp 7 ай бұрын

You can buy them direct from Angelbird - otherwise it would depend which country you are in?

Capitol M capitol B, yep…as advertised and printed on the cards.

And nobody needs these speeds in a MILC camera. So why spend so damn much money? I'm peeved that Nikon forced then extinct XQD cards on it's early Z line. The brought back SD.

Yes camera companies can make some dumb decisions from time to time….
