PERGEAR CF EXPRESS A - Worth the Risk?
Рет қаралды 6,022
Күн бұрынCF express type A cards are extremely expensive which is why I avoided them and stuck to V90 SD. Although CF express cards are much better it was hard to justify the cost as a freelance shooter.
Thankfully Pergear have stepped up and given us an affordable option,,,but is it any good?
PERGEAR CF EXPRESS A - Worth the Risk?
I wasn't paid to promote this card or any other products I review. If there is any paid collabs I will state this clearly in the video.

I started using these cards in my FX 30 a month ago with zero problems - they are cheaper than comparably sized SD cards - and of course faster!

Are cards still working OK with your FX30? I'm looking to buy 2 for simultaneous rec. in FX30 to trie to fix an issue - I have 2 Sandisk SD PRO v30, sometimes one of them skips recording clip, and only have recording on second, so I'm thinking it could be how fast they finished recording after turning it off, maybe has to do how fast I press REC again. V30 still good enough for 100Mbit though (that's only 12,5MB/s).

Today it doesn't mean that something is cheap or affordable, that it is worse. But you should definitely test it. I bought my daughter a new smartphone last week and it cost 175 euros. Couple of years ago you only got a potatoe phone for this price but I must say I'm quiet jealous of her now😅. I once had a transcent card once which died. That was hard.
@Altcine Жыл бұрын
That's very true. In terms of things like chips & manufacturing a lot of this stuff comes from the same plants. I don't know what Pergear did to reduce costs but it seems good. Smartphones are a good example of how affordable tech has gotten a lot better 👍🏾😰

I've avoided buying a CF-A card for years (I've had the a7SIII since 2021) because they've just been so expensive and there's only, like, one codec and framerate that requires it anyway. I've been thinking about getting one more recently because of the addition of 4KDCI 48fps S&Q in the FX30 which requires a CF-A card. These Pergear cards have finally provided a reasonable option in terms of price. Glad to hear that they've been reliable for you and hopefully it means the prices will come down for all the cards
@Altcine Жыл бұрын
Absolutely. You have to buy the camera, the lens and then find out you have to spend hundreds just to record something is crazy. I'm like you and would have stuck to v90 all the way if these didn't come out

Hi, thank you for commenting. Yeah it's a bit daunting with memory because it's very important. I used to work in electronics and I always test things extensively. You really have to push them the first few weeks, really over use them because you need the electronics, soldering etc to settle down and hope they reveal any potential faults but I'm glad to say it working great and I even edit from them too.

How many hours does that 260 gig card give you in your FX30 at the highest quality?
@Altcine 6 ай бұрын
About 130mins. The easiest way to calculate is by doing the math on cards that you have ie, if you have a 128gb card just double it for a rough estimate.

@@Altcine No one said tons. ☝️😉 Read the comments. There are more than 2-3. Nevertheless, if it only would be one, don’t wanna be the one who got hit 🙂 I switched from Nikon to Sony a few days ago. So, anyway… spend more money than for my last car 😂 When I can save money, I love it. But if it’s „only“ 100 or 150 bucks for a card… I choose the safest possible way. I took the Sony a7 IV. Slot one is now the Sony CFexpress. Slot two a V90 (300mb/s) SanDisk. I can do more than 90% of my work on V90 SD. So I‘m fine with this solution. 🙂

@@francoforte4788 you did say "too many" so that implied there was a lot of failures 😅 I understand though, nobody wants corrupted cards after a shoot but I've had SanDisk extreme pro and Kingston fail on me. Also in the video I put an example of Sony tough cards failing too. It doesn't matter the brand, it can still happen. I was using 2 FX6's and and FX3 and these gave me zero issues and I still use them in FX3.

@@Altcine Every electronic device will die one day. Electronic parts are aging too. So you never get 100% safety anyway. 🙂 I try to keep the danger of failure as low as possible. The number of card failures of the Sony is zero, at Amazon. As told, I'm fine with one CFexpress. So it doesn't make a real difference after buying cam, 2 lenses, rig, handles and so on 😂 But I can understand, if someone needs a higher number of cards, when he takes the cheap ones.
