What CFexpress card are you using with the R5 and is it able to handle 8K30 RAW? I'll make sure to add confirmed cards in the description. The card shown is the ProGrade Gold 256GB: geni.us/zVUN6IP
The Gold 512 is totally fine in every mode. I've tested it recording until either the heat limit or 30 minute overall recording limit.. No issues, even in 8K raw. Just needs to be second gen with the 400MB/s minimum write.
Great video, this is definitely needed in information as it is not clear, and confusing to most. I had the 256 gold prograde, gave me errors. The 500gb versions works fine, as does the Sony Tough 128gb n 8kraw
I wish that your video had been available two weeks ago. I purchased the Prograde 512 GB Gold card for use in my Canon R5. The second video, a 4K HQ clip, that I made with this card in the R5 gave the “Video Recording Stopped - card write speed too slow” and stopped recording after 2 seconds. In multiple tests of the R5 with 8K raw, 4K 120, and 4K 60, I found the card to be unreliable. Sometimes I had no problems making a 30 sec. clip with those settings. However, I also had recording stopped after 2-5 sec. numerous times with this card. I have returned the card as unusable.
Interesting. Canon lists the ProGrade 512GB card as supported for 8K30 RAW. Was yours a gen 1 1600 mb/s or gen 2 1700 mb/s? What card did you get to replace the old one?
I use the ProGrade 512GB card with the R5 without any issues, I've recorded several minutes of 8K and 4KHQ footage on it. As SuprUsr Stan pointed out it may be a problem with the generation, I'm using the newer 1700 mb/s card.
SuprUsr Stan I was using the Prograde V. 2.0 512 GB Gild card claiming 1700 MB speed. Failures were intermittent even when encoding to the same frame rate, resolution, and codec but did occur several times over four days of using the card for recording 39 sec clips. I am now using the Sony 512 GB tough cards and, so far, recording at any combination of settings I have experienced no failure to record.
Tom Wheeler that's exactly the card I'm using without any problems. Perhaps I just won the silicon lottery with the particular nand chips in my unit. Glad you found one that works for you though!
ChristianWheel See my reply above .The prograde card that had several record failures over four days was the 2nd generation 512 GB Prograde Gold card. Sometime I would get a recording failure in recording at a given setting such as 4 K HQ and then try the same setting a few minutes later without any problem. I just could not rely on the Prograde card in my R5. I have switched to the 512 GB Sony Tough card with no issues so far.
Thanks for posting this! I have the same card reader with an early 2015 (usb 3.0) macbook pro and my angelbird cfexpress 2tb on BlackMagic Speed Test is showing 380MB/s Read and Write. Seems usb 3.0 is the bottleneck but it's supposed to be quite a bit faster.
I wonder if I want a CFexpres card. testing from youtuber 'No Life' hints to the CFexpress card and internal reader/writer to be reason that the R5 Overheats. I see that you can record about one minute making use of the camera buffer. Would it be possible to use a fast SD card to record 30 second clips of 8k RAW? There are plenty of times where I only took dozens of only few second clips. Just making use of the internal buffer for short clips might just be enough for someone with patience.
Hi, I just order exactly the same card prograde 256gb and I start reading comments that 8k and 4k video does not work? How is it for stills? I'm more in photography than videography! Pleas pleas answer thank you! :)
Hi SuprUsr can you use 2 Sd cards instead of one CF card and one SD card for photos , I already have a r and an R6 but will probably sell my R for the R5
I can't say for certain. ProGrade cards do advertise that they have auto throttling capabilities. Besides that, the larger cards do appear to have faster throughput speeds and often a card lineup (ie. ProGrade Gold or Sony Tough) usually quote the highest capacity speeds often ignoring the smallest capacities.
Isn't 4k 120 more data than 8k 60? also do a video on the readers, it seems most readers are on back order and the only one available it seems is the sandisk one but there are so many bad reviews for that. I haven't bought my CFexpress yet because i cant find a reader with decent reviews or not on back order and UA-cam reviewers need to stop treating like we are going to only be filming in 8k no one will be filming in 8k as there main format. it is the 4k we will use it for. well primarily for photos as this is a photo camera first
4K120 and 4K60 are fine with this card. 4K120 is indeed more data but as you saw in the graph, it's still substantially less bitrate than 4K30 RAW. I've got a Cobalt 325GB card on order and will probably make another video on that with this card reader.
I bought a cheap reader from Trebleet (search Amazon for CFexpress Card Reader, USB 3.1 Gen 2) and it works great to read R5 footage with my ProGrade 512mb. I paid $39.

Using a 128 GB Sandisk Extreme Pro card, and 8K 30 RAW works. It's about 5 minutes of footage for RAW.
The Gold 512 is totally fine in every mode. I've tested it recording until either the heat limit or 30 minute overall recording limit.. No issues, even in 8K raw. Just needs to be second gen with the 400MB/s minimum write.
+1 on this. Using both 512GB and the 1TB ProGrade cards, second gen.
Thanks for the helpful video. I already bought the prograde 256gb and unfortunately I can’t record 4K 120p All I for more than 20 seconds 🤔
uh? Really ?!?
Thank you for explaining this so well
❤

Ordinary Filmmaker uses the Cobalt 325GB to shoot 8K on the R5. Works fine it seems.

I have the Pro Grade Gold 512gb cards and it records 8k RAW perfectly fine with the R5.
Life saver man! Almost bought one.
The internal writer of camera may be another limiting factor. I think an external writer like a ninja will be a better choice in my opinion.
Thanks for this video and worthwhile feedback
Thank you for the video, the card was super cheap (139.99) so it was a great deal for me.
Dude I literally fell asleep. Just tell me which card to get for what functionality.
Would you recommend this card for 4k 120? Not really gonna use 8k on my R5, but I'm conflicted on getting the cheaper 256gb or more expensive 512 gb.
Thank You!!!
Hi Stan,
What is the recommended write speed for SD UHS-II for EOS R5? Great video by the way. Thank you!

legend, thanks
Unfortunately, it also has problems with 4k 120p. Which suddenly makes these cards not that attractive any more compared with Sandisk and Lexar.
Love you bro! Jesus loves you man! Subbed

It's work with sony m4
Try NKI Kinetic Plus 512GB, only $299, and 8K capable
You did not say anything about the settings.
Prograde 128GB 1700 Version work on 4K60p All-I Right?
Where can i find the other cfexpress benchmarks?
what 2 memory cards sould I use in my neu Canon Eos R 7
Hi SuprUsr can you use 2 Sd cards instead of one CF card and one SD card for photos , I already have a r and an R6 but will probably sell my R for the R5
The camera only has a SD slot and CFexpress slot
@@SuprUsrStan thanks for your quick reply, much appreciated, John
Do different card sizes and brands have different heat generation characteristics?
I can't say for certain. ProGrade cards do advertise that they have auto throttling capabilities. Besides that, the larger cards do appear to have faster throughput speeds and often a card lineup (ie. ProGrade Gold or Sony Tough) usually quote the highest capacity speeds often ignoring the smallest capacities.
You should've read the specs of the camera before buying this CFExpress.

also do a video on the readers, it seems most readers are on back order and the only one available it seems is the sandisk one but there are so many bad reviews for that.

no one will be filming in 8k as there main format.
it is the 4k we will use it for.
well primarily for photos as this is a photo camera first

8k... When no one has monitors or TVs that actually can show it.
Some people use 8k so that they can crop and stabilize footage in post to have steady shots in 4K :)
