SLOWER THAN SLOW CFAST I BOUGHT

THIS MONEY. I paid MORE than my first cfast card to get faster read and write speeds. The Komputerbay Professional 3700 x 256GB CFast 2.0 card (up to 560MB/s read and 495MB/s write) didn't even come close to its rated speed (see review), BUT, BUT, BUT, more importantly, it was SLOWER than my slower card. To return.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I won't say anything

I have 6 of these, they all work great on Ursa 4.6k

I use them extensively in my URSA Black Magic 4.6k camera. I shoot a bit in Raw Lossless and a lot of Pro Rez 444. Works great. Best price out there. Reading online it seems like every brand has a small percentage of cards that fail right out of the box. I haven't had a problem with any of mine and I have 6 of them. I also have a couple of Transcend cards that work great too.

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Dimly set

WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE

Do not buy this for URSA MINI 4.6K and do not buy from this brand. Recently I bought 2 of these cards, one was defective and texted them a lot but they didn't answer and so I lost my money, in fact I feel like they stole it. The second card doesn't record in 4.6k RAW 3:1, it skips frames, so they're selling a card that should record great in that format. Worst cards ever, worst seller ever. I'm crazy

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Can be damaged

Unstable recording at high bitrates like Q0 or 3:1 in BRAW on Blackmagic Ursa Mini G2

Although the cards appear to be on Blackmagic's approved list, they are not suitable for recording at the highest bitrates in BRAW 4 ,6K. Recording just suddenly stops and you have to remove and reinsert the card. Luckily we were able to complete our shoot but they are far from reliable to keep. I know it's tempting to save money, but this brand just isn't ready to perform at this level. We sent mine back for a refund.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Annoyed

These cards are amazing! Bought for my URSA Mini Pro

These cards are awesome! Bought for my URSA Mini Pro. I was a bit skeptical about the purchase as I had never heard of Komputer Bay. When I read the camera manual, this was one of the cards that they felt worked well with the camera. I ran a few tests and ended up buying another Komputer Bay card. I shot the project in 4.6K at 24 fps in the desert and didn't miss a single frame. So happy with this purchase and they cost half the price of competing memory cards.

Pros
  • Uses the latest generation of camcorders and DSLRs. HD, Ultra HD, and DCI 4K video support
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
