Best storage/media options for bmpcc4k and bmpcc6k 

Which one is your favorite?

Some really great information here - thanks for the video

Thanks for this buddy! So helpful!

My BMP6K will arrive tomorrow, I can’t wait, to try it out 😄

This was very helpful! Thank you!!

Thanks for this video! this was very helpful!

Thank you so much for making this content full of valuable info!

I totally agree. Luckily I had a bunch of CFast 2.0 cards from my 1DX when I bought the BMPCC6K. Personally I never had any issue with my t5 but there is always the risk of potentially loosing footage.

thanks for the honest review

I like the T7 Shield is now on the BMD approved media list.

Dude! I love your videos because you’re always answering question that I have at this time

Thank you!!!! You’re awesome

Just ordered my bmpcc 6k today! Will be using the SSD to record.

Great vid!

great content!!

thanks! like it. well done.

I had only Problems with CFast so far with a Pocket 6K G1 ... The Samsung T5 512GB we used once with 4 Cameras for a long interview and there was no file missing in the end and they work very well (T7 are not recommended from BM as you told in the Video). SD Cards worked as well very good but I use it more for Private or Testing stuff.

Helpful review. My T5 500GB records the highest resolution on 60fps without dropping a single frame for long.

I know you use canon, how easy is it to color match it with the black magic? I've been loving your content, thanks for making it!

great video. question, what's your recommendation for storiing from the CFAST card?

thanks!

Thx you

Thank you for this video. I'm currently looking into storage options for the 4K and the 6K. When looking at the speed of all of the options, I'm curious to see if the XT even supports 6K 50p Q0. Are you able to try it out? 30p 6K Q0 chews into 242 to 483 MB/s. The maximum write speed of the Angelbird CFAST XT is 480?. Does this mean it can't handle a super complex shot in 50p Q0? If so, what does? The T5 is also limited to around 540(transfer. Don't know what the write speed actually is) if I remember correctly. Maybe other drives are faster but f.ex. the T7 hacks its speed with a buffer so it can't shoot video. Its speed is advertised as sequential write at 1000MB/s which makes it unusable for the BMPCC. Do we have to rely on an external recording to record super complex shots with Q0 in 50p 6K? thanks, M

Hi very interesting tutorial Do you know if is possible to use Y cable to connect SSD and gimbal to bmpcc usb-c? Will theu the togheter? Thanks

Thanks

Thank you for explaining everything about storage on bmpcc6k! I have one and I am using the ssd option and I just got one great sd ( Sony tough series). I was wondering how you surpassed the problem of the battery? What external supply are you using?

whats the link to the type c cable? The link takes me to a lot of them. Thank you!!

gracias

Can you relink the cable for the Samsung T5 you recommend please. The current link takes me to a search of cables. Thank you!

T7 is now compatible and on the list of Blackmagicdesign

Can you name the brand and spec’s of your recommended usb c cable? the link is unclear. PS in Europe there’s are still some Samsung 1T SSD’s to be found…for now.

Hi Damien, just found you on a random search. Thank you. I just subscribed. So, just to be clear (I'm new at this bmpcc 6K); so using a SDXC 256gb V90 Class 10, I'm able to film in Blackmagic Raw at not only 3:1, but also 5:1, or 8:1... in 24fps or 30fps? AND: if using ProRes 422/or HQ, I should be good to go with 24p and 30p? Again just making sure. I prefer the SDXC over CF for now however, I'm looking into the CFast cards too. The BMPCC6K I'm referring to isn't mine, I'm being asked to run it for someone for a few hours. I appreciate this video and your help. Thank you, -Michael

Noticed you mentioned the T7 would not be recommended. Just wanted update you and the community, I’m using the Samsung T7 with the BMPCC 6K PRO and works perfectly, with all modes. Seems the T7 is also faster than the T5s

How do I find the original Samsung T5 cable for my Camera ? I can’t seem to find one without buying a new SSD. My DockAse is not letting me Record 4K 60

ssd for maximum quality? MAXIMUM I say!

Hi bro, any suggestions you can give us for your desktop/laptop setup for editing? Ive only got the iPad Pro (with Lumafusion), EOS R and Atomos Ninja V. Unfortunately iPad Pro and Lumafusion do not support ProRes or DNxHR codecs (4K 10bit 4.2.2 CLOG) I can edit 4K/1080 8bit CLOG on iPad Pro with no issues, Lumafusion with LUTs all work ok etc. My bottleneck now is either using 8bit clog internal and Ninja V as monitor only or upgrade to a higher end editing machine. Thankyou

I have a BMCC 6K (G1) and plan to mainly shoot around 6K BRAW (24fps) and BRAW 4K (24fps). My budget is around $200, so what is the optimal choice for me? I don't want to run into any issues with speed or memory. I don't plan on getting anything higher than 1TB.

Do you know how the T7 Shield 1 or 2 TB work with the Blackmagic 6k Pro?

Hey, great video ! do you think it would work with a cfexpress card from angelbird?

can you film on your bmpcc4k with the cfast a resolution of 4k 60 fps with braw?? thanks

I am a v60 sd card person and I bought a microsd v90 Lexar 1800 card. For me I don’t need more than 720mbits per second

Link doesn’t work, what’s the name of the cable?

So, there is no solution to shoot at the highest quality and highest frame rate without dropping frames or having the card just stop? - I do like Angelbird cards but they are usually pricey... maybe that XT version would be the best?

I have the sdd but when I attach it to the bmpcc6kpro nothing comes up. What am I doing wrong?

Lol I recommend you a BMPCC 4K just 10 min ago.on a old video of yours. Didn't know you owned both of those 😂😂 Makes me feel like fool. I like BMPCC 4K A Lot. I wish they Officially Sold in India

The link for the SSD cable link does lead to Amazon but not on a particular page. Is that just me? I'm in the UK.

so is the SanDisk SSD 1 TB 1050MB/s faster than the Samsung T5?

The crucial x8 holds up fine on the constant or bitrate. Your opinion isn’t fact. I would share only what you know to be fact to not mislead others. Try the blackmagic speed test to gain a better understanding of ssd.

what do you find works better and is more reliable? the CFast card or the samsung ssd?

T7 didn't work for my Blackmagic pocket 4k

Honestly - I love the Bmcc6kpro so much for what it is but I'm also super disappointed with the fact that even external SSD's lose data. Hasn't happened much to me but it has happened overall even with a Samsun T7 2TB which should be double the t5's reading and writing speed. Also the inaccuracy of the battery data (telling you it has way more than it really has and then turning off on you mid shoot). Super disappointing. For me, getting an Angel CF card is like $1000. It's crazy

How do you get the Cfast card data into my computer to edit?

I got some CF cards that I would use with my Canon 5D, one of them is a Compact Flash SanDisk Exteme 120mb/s, would this work, anybody know?

I bought scan disk 2t 1050/read/write. no issues at all . I have a bm 6k pro

The fastest SSD drives for BMPCC 4K/6K are Delkin Dysk Juggler SSD - write speed up to 1050 Mb/s

Ay first comment

I use v30 cards and can record braw 8:1 24fps up to 12:1 60fps. So your information is not correct I'm afraid.

I have to disagree with 80% of the info here...no disrespect...having worked with BMPCC 4k from the beginning in the professional world, The Samsung t5 500gb, has worked fine, at all frame and bit rates. Angel Bird is way overpriced and again in a professional setting...I have yet to spend more for an SD card than I spend on my C-fast or SSD drive. These are my thoughts and my experiences. Anyway, continue to research, and learn. Kudos to the channel

400/500 US dollars for SD card it’s way to much, especially if you have a T5, T7 and any other SSD drive from which you can actually work straight out without transfer.

it pisses me off how much they're charging for these cards

When I asked Chat GTP about recording with an SSD it said: ''No, you cannot use the Samsung Portable SSD T5 500GB as the primary recording media for the Blackmagic 4K Pocket Cinema Camera. The camera requires an SD card to record video.'' Is this true?
