Finally a content creator, celebrating this feature instead of complaining about it lol. I swear over half the videos I watched about this camera complained about it, instead of being excited. They may have the ability to pay 50 cents per gig for C-Fast but I certainly don't as a hobbyist. A cage and cable clamp would handle 90% of bumps and dings, and I put cages on my camera as a default, even if I don't rig them up to protect them. It's like $40 and is a peace of mind, and imo silly not to. Thanks for the video. I do wish the camera had C-Fast slot, in case prices ever come down further heh.

[@richardrowland8425]

You came in clutch with that dummy battery link.. Thank You!

[@user-qs6be1ol5k]

Thank you, for test the SSD card media for photos, that is a question i have since the camera was announced. Now I can order a Lumix s5m2x! 😉

[@tony_knox]

thank you its a big help

[@jacobterrazas3147]

USB-C dummy battery! I didn't even know that was a thing. I love the idea of using an SSD for external recording but I've grown accustomed to using that port for powering the camera. I have a zilr npf battery with a usb-c port so one battery powers my external monitor and camera. I thought I was going to have to say bye to that and go the v-mount direction but this solves for that and keeps my rig the same! Thanks!

[@DroneStories]

There is quite a lot of confusion to me about using SSD. -Which SSD do you recommend? -Are the speeds "enough" to support proress records? -Drop Frames ?? - Is a v90 card "better" for all-intra records? I would like to see some benchmarks between v90 cards and different ssd brands. 👋💯

[@deivytrajan]

Dude, every SSD destroys V90 SD cards. It's not even competition. You can get NVMe Gen 4 SSD drives like SN850x that offer speeds up to 7300 MB/s!!! The USB can't even go that fast, meawhile V90 SD cards can only max out at a pathetic 300 MB/s. You might ask about the price, well, sn850x 2000 GB cost around 150 euro. For that price the best you could get is a 256 GB V90 card...

[@maxvain]

I need panny to announce or give a development schedule for the S1RII. I don't mind making the switch now that they got Phase D. But I need to know when a dedicated pro-body for photography will be coming.

[@PunisherOfDeath101]

The reason I just picked up the s5 ii with a 24-70 sigma art lense. I'm catalog my trips straight to ssd.

[@timelapsefrg]

I have the ultimate timelapse course, looking forward to buy the hyperlapse one. Anyway I like this video and this feature🤩

[@MatthewVandeputte]

No need, as mentioned in the video all the content from the hyperlapse course is included in the bigger course you already have! Appreciate your support!

[@jankarlsson8341]

Having lightroom, both photos and the cataloge on an external SSD, does that work well? I shoot real estate and a fast workflow is a must, but having the photos off the Mac sounds tempting. If anyone have their two cents on this I'd appreciate it.

[@bensneen]

I would really like to know if this camera would work with the Benro Polaris. The regular S5 you can control the camera through the app but you get no photo recording or time lapse recording. It would be totally worth the upgrade for me if this was able to have full function with the Polaris.

[@aharshephotography]

Absolutely game changer!!

[@A1Bokeh]

can it do ssd recording with a black magic assist also is audio recorded when using the ssd

[@kennethgooswit3697]

You can use the same battery of the gh6 or the dummy batt.for that matter. There is a batt. Plate for the Sony batteries with 7.2 out with the big sony batt you can work for about 6 hours. Of cours the 7.2 out goes to the dummy batt kabel with a barrel plug. Use a ankerpowerbank 12.000 ma with a converter of 5 to 8/9volt 3 amps

[@JC-td4gg]

Wonder if Panasonic will update firmware on this camera and GH6 so that the SSD can record 120fps? Now, only 60fps!

[@ZekesView]

This is such a great feature. I hope Sony adds this feature in.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I hope many other brands do this too!

[@opezdol]

Well, you can kinda create it yourself now with cfe-a to nvme adapter and 2240 nvme ssd, but obviously plug and play is far more convenient

[@kennethgooswit3697]

Good job

[@nkcreative4249]

heyy are tha Crucial X9 Pro 1 TB Compatible with this Lumix S5 Mark II X???

[@annavmusic6309]

is there a way to record on both the SSD and the SD card at the same time as back up? Or if the SSD becomes it automatically starts recording on the SD card? Guessing no.

[@deivytrajan]

Thank you so much for this video! I ordered S5iiX just for SSD media recording. What adapter you used to attach your SSD to the camera body? I want to use my NMVe SSD for external recording as it's much cheaper and faster than V90 SD cards.

[@deivytrajan]

Update. I bought s5iix and super happy. I use 20 Gbps nvme external enclosure and works perfectly. The camera itself usb supports up to 10 Gbps.I also bought v60 and v90 sd cards

[@Evrce]

Wait so any nvme works? Or is there a list? All i see is the compatible ssd List

[@CorineCles]

However it seems that with 2 To is for one hour and thirty minutes ? Is it true ? Do you use plenty ssd cards ?

[@robpullen]

Hey Matt. Thanks for the vid. I’m wondering what you’re opinion is for an amateur who hasn’t got much time lol. I’m wanting to do more timelapses etc but it’ll mainly be shooting vids. I’m torn between the Canon 6D II and the S5IIX. Of course one is much more expensive and probably more than I need. So what is your opinion on both. I’m looking to step up from an 80D. Thank you so much for any input.

[@MatthewVandeputte]

I reckon keep going with what you got until you find you're really hitting roadblocks. The 80D is still a super capable camera!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

But if I had to choose between the two it's a no brainer for the much newer lumix, or even the S5 would be a great bet still!

[@robpullen]

@@MatthewVandeputte thank you Matt, I think the Panasonic would be too much but also I’ve heard of issues with the AF etc etc. I’ve had my canon for so many years and really only just began to use the AF as it should be used lol. The problem I have with the 80D is the lack of 120fps even in 1080 as it only shoots upto 1080@60fps. So I think my next option would be another Canon but not sure where to go whether a mirrorless or not. I would really like something before our next trip to Scotland. Thanks again. Looking forward to your next vid.

[@Davidyateman360]

the SSD inside the DJI mavic 3 cine is amazing

[@MatthewVandeputte]

nice

[@LW_Lapse]

I don't know if I'd trust the connection, knowing myself I'd probably knock it loose. Does it revert to on camera storage if the connection is lost?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

that's why cable clamps exist.

[@sanasoureshjani6715]

Can this camera be plugged into a T7 Samson ssd?

[@Stash_Studio]

Yes, that's how I'm using it

[@TrollMeister_]

Can you record ProRes RAW to the ssd .. or does that still require ninja ?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Think you need ninja still

[@sanasoureshjani6715]

Does this camera take ssds higher than 4tb? I tried and it was not working?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

check the list of compatible drives

[@reynep]

i'm thinking of buying this. but can it save 12-bit footage to ssd?

[@SatheeshKumar-xr9tk]

no 12bit...only 10 bit

[@legniak1]

Why leave this out of the S5II?

[@nguyenbui90]

Hello can you record the S5iix with the M2 ssd?

[@MatthewVandeputte]

if you look at the list of compatible drives that I mentioned and linked under the video you will see that an M2 SSD will not work, so no, I can't recommend it.

[@garyhook1372]

CFE devices are PCI-attached, which is always going to be faster then USB-C. CFE cards can be had in 2TB sizes, or larger. CFE cards are smaller and more convenient. Transferring data still has to happen for backups, I think? Your choice to stress yourself out was your choice, and seemingly not a good one. Planning and scheduling can (help) alleviate that problem. And transferring data.... as many good readers as you need, with good cables and good ports, and you start a transfer and go to bed. I have enough trouble managing lenses and lens caps; I'm not adding an extern SSD to that until I'm doing actual video with a Ninja or comparable device. Not seeing a compelling advantage here, but perhaps my mind will be changed in the future. As always, love your work. Keep it up!

[@MatthewVandeputte]

Budget and time constraints were the main problems on the project I briefly mentioned, no need to make assumptions about whether or not I made a bad or good choice with limited info :)

[@garyhook1372]

@@MatthewVandeputte Well, I worked with the info I (thought I) had available. I may have misunderstood. But please ignore the last half of my comment, where I strayed off topic. That was unnecessary.

[@HOLIDAYCREWSTUDIOS]

Can we use external hdd instead ??

[@MatthewVandeputte]

no

[@AlexRodriguez-ci8ro]

Wrong. The black magic pocket cinema was the first budget camera to have ssd recording

[@Yupthereitism]

Wrong

[@SakkiDuran]

4:16 eventually lol

[@boulx]

>>>nvme in enclosure..

[@MatthewVandeputte]

unlikely to be compatible!
