Reddit mentions of SanDisk Extreme PRO 64GB up to 95MB/s UHS-I/U3 SDXC Flash Memory Card - SDSDXPA-064G-X46

Hi /u/Treehouse-Of-Horror - I shoot with the BMPCC and recommend it highly.

This camera is terrific, but, if you ever decide to take it out of the studio and into the field, you will find that its ergonomics and battery capacity leave a lot to be desired. You will also need to address the camera's high data rate storage requirements (especially for RAW) and your specific need to adapt your existing lenses.

Ergonomics

With a [£9 cold shoe adapter] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00NHA6HVG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00NHA6HVG&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21), a [£24 pistol grip] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MRNP2LA/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00MRNP2LA&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21) and a [£99.90 LCD Viewfinder] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GSM97J4/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B00GSM97J4&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21) you will have a setup that is much easier to shoot with.

Here is what my handheld BMPCC setup looks like: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-f3hbYYV_y8o/VHDp77GMxoI/AAAAAAAAJF8/xnHRvNcCm5o/w724-h543-no/P1020575.JPG

Battery Capacity

For me, it is too much hassle to switch batteries all the time, so I recommend an external battery solution. With a couple of [£8 Sony NP-F550 batteries] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0093CL5OG/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B0093CL5OG&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21) mounted on a [£34 NP-F to V mount adapter] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=361158351253&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) in your pocket and connected to your camera with a [£23.50 D-tap to BMPCC cable] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=171604161280&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg), you can run your camera for hours on one set of batteries.

You might want to consider an [£11 dual battery charger] (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/710-53481-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5575034783&toolid=10001&campid=5337235943&customid=&icep_item=171444172813&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229508&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) so you can recharge both batteries at the same time.

Storage

As others have said, you don't just need a "decent" SD card. The only SD card that works with the camera in all recording modes is the [£81.85 Sandisk 64GB 95Mbps Extreme Pro] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005LFT3UW/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B005LFT3UW&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21)

Adapting Canon EF lenses

Coming from Canon, you will also need an adapter that gives you manual aperture control. I recommend the [£23.50 DSLRKIT Canon EF to micro 4/3 adapter with manual aperture] (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007KG4QKC/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=19450&creativeASIN=B007KG4QKC&linkCode=as2&tag=hybrcamerevo-21).

Bottom line, it will take another few hundred pounds to get up and running after you buy the camera - but the image quality will be worth it.

Hope this is helpful!

You are going to need a few things:

• An APS-C sensor camera. Example: [Nikon D7200] (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=nikon%20d7200&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ps); an older used Nikon D7000 would be perfectly fine too (~$350). The Nikon D7xxx series is the lowest-end Nikon that supports lens focus adjustment and older, motor-driven lenses, so that's where I would start. The D5xxx series isn't bad either, and the tilt screen is nice, but it doesn't support focus adjustment.
  
  
• A decent lens. A kit lens will work well for your purposes, although for interiors a wide angle lens is sometimes helpful. You can get the D7200 in a bundle with the kit lens. An older used 18-105mm (or even an 18-55mm) will do just fine too ($200). A kit lens will let you get shots where everything is in focus (i.e., using a narrow aperture like f/5.6); if you want shots that isolate a single subject, you may need more expensive lenses that support wider apertures like f/2.8 or f/1.8.
  
  
• A good flash, which supports aiming, wide angle lenses, TTL, and wireless triggering. Example: [Nikon SB-700] (https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/734997-USA/Nikon_4808_SB_700_Speedlight_Shoe_Mount.html) (about $175 used). This is essential for good interior shots; good photographers often use multiple flashes and light modifiers, but this one solid flash will be great to get you started.
  
  
• A steady tripod that's easy to deploy. Don't cheap out on the tripod. Read [this] (http://bythom.com/support.htm) about tripods. A good mid-range Tripod brand is [Feisol] (http://www.feisol.net/tripods.html) (I'd budget around $400). A good tripod is absolutely essential to getting nice interior shots like you are talking about. You'll want to set your camera up on the tripod, get everything in focus, then use a cable release (or wireless release) to trigger it. That will give you sharp pictures in indoor light.
  
  
• A good ballhead. Don't cheap out on the ballhead: FLM (I'd probably just buy this new for around $200). I've used the FLM ballhead I linked -- it's technically only mid-range, but it works spectacularly well for the price. I actually like it better than my more-expensive Markins ballhead. The brands in the Thom Hogan article are all fine (RRS, etc.). Don't go with the low-end brands like Surui; I tried one, and it is not even close.
  
  
• A quick-switch plate: Peak Design ($30). I like the Peak Design plates because they are small, light, and they have strap hooks if you want to go that way. Any arca-swiss plate will work though.
  
  
• A remote ($20, or like $.50 used). These are super cheaply made but they generally work OK. The higher-end cameras use radio rather than infrared, but you can get by just fine with the infrared remotes the D7xxx cameras use.
  
  
• Two [memory cards] (https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-Flash-Memory-SDSDXPA-064G-X46/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1491828485&sr=8-6&keywords=sandisk%2BSDHC&th=1) ($80 total, I'd buy new personally). The D7xxx cameras allows you to use two cards (with the second as an overflow or backup).
  
  
• A [spare battery] (https://www.amazon.com/Nikon-EN-EL15-Rechargeable-Battery-Packaging/dp/B0045KGZOG/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1491828565&sr=8-6&keywords=nikon+battery) ($49, I'd buy new personally). You can get by without this, but it's much more convenient to have a spare.
  
  If you bought all of these things new, it would be way outside of your budget. But, luckily, camera gear has a great used market. I personally use the Fred Miranda forums buy/sell page, but you can also find great stuff on eBay or elsewhere. Refurbs are fine too. And the nice thing about buying used is that if you don't like it, you can sell it for about what you bought it for.
  
  If you buy used (and go for the D7000 rather than the D7200), this should add up to around $1500 or less. I've shot tens of thousands of pictures with the D7000, and it's a wonderful camera. I've also used the D7100, and it's fine too, although honestly I'd probably take the sensor of the D7000 over the D7100. I've heard good things about the D7200 but haven't used it personally (and it has been eclipsed by the more expensive D500). If I were you, I'd go for the used D7000.
  
  

Im looking to get 2 Sandisk extreme pro SD cards, i was browsing amazon and found two of the same(?) item:

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-UHS-I-Flash-Memory-x/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=sr_1_4_acs_ac_1?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1542764375&sr=1-4-acs&keywords=sandisk+extreme+pro+64gb

https://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extreme-UHS-I-Memory-SDSDXXG-064G-GN4IN/dp/B01J5RHD58/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1542764437&sr=1-2&keywords=sandisk+extreme+pro+64gb

I notice one of them has the symbol V30 on the card and is somehow a little cheaper.

Is there a difference between the two or is one just a newer version?

​

These would be the right ones? (Though may not go for Amazon based on fakes...) https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-SDXC-UHS-I-Memory/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=sr_1_11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1543354560&sr=1-11&keywords=sandisk%2Bextreme%2Bpro%2B64gb&th=1

For a 'good' setup I would triple the budget that you have, but that is quite obviously not going to happen. With that in mind, just make sure that you get these SD cards: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-SDXC-UHS-U3-Memory/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1468674883&sr=8-8&keywords=sandisk+extreme for the camera and get a Zoom H1 audio recorder.

Eu já tive problemas com toshiba e com kingstons, mas é tudo uma questão de sorte (ou azar no caso).

Tenho uma gaveta cheia de kingstons em que metade não funcionam e os outros são demasiado lentos e/ou pequenos para a utilização (2~4gb). Por outro lado o que comprei quando comprei esta maquina (que também é kingston) ainda funciona impecável, mas não serve as minhas necessidades por 2 motivos: o primeiro é que cada foto que tiro fica a ocupar cerca de 30mb por isso acabo por só conseguir por pouco mais de 100fotos num cartão de 4gb e o segundo é a rapidez, não quero que a velocidade do cartão provoque bottleneck por isso prefiro que seja exageradamente rápido... o que também é importante principalmente quando meto aquilo em fotos sequenciais para não ter de aguardar tempo nenhum entre chapas.

SanDisk não costumo usar, mas já que costumas dá-me a tua opinião sobre este, caso possas/saibas: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SanDisk-Extreme-SDXC-UHS-U3-Memory/dp/B005LFT3UW/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1466438039&sr=8-7&keywords=UHS-1+U3+64gb

é o que estou a pensar comprar para substituir este caso não o consiga ressuscitar.
