 Hey, what is up? My name is Rubidium. Today we are looking at C-Fast 2.0 cards You need them to record RAW on the C200. You need them to record RAW on most cameras But what do you get for your money? What do you have to pay and what does that mean? Check it out Okay, so I have three cards here today the computer bay 128 gig 37 time 3700 times 4k videos for a C-Fast 2 has a read and write speeds published on it We have the EODISC Pro 512 gig again C-Fast 2.0 565 megabytes per second and Last but not least certainly not least is the pro grade digital 512 gig has a nice gold gold line across it two of these cards the computer bay and the EODISC are made in China The pro grade is made in Vietnam But the first two are made by Chinese companies and the last two is manufactured by an American Company based here in California. The computer bay was the cheapest. It's the least capacity It's only you know a quarter of the capacity the other two They don't sell this one 20 yet anymore on Amazon, but they do have a 256 gig. That's about $250 I got this When I the first week I got my C200 because I was dying to test out raw and I didn't want to drop you know seven eight hundred dollars on a C-Fast card at the time and this was the same brand that I had used in my magic lantern Kit for the 5D mark 3 and if you don't know what magic lantern is it's essentially a Firmware hack that lets this 5D mark 3 record raw video and a lot of my earlier videos on this channel I recorded with it. I have had these cards fail on me Not this particular one though I did lose a couple of files I think because I switched the camera off before it was recording but it recovered it But I have had the other ones fail on me and I've sent them back and forth to Amazon. They're pretty good replacing them So I would say this is your this is your entry level card and your kind of entry level brand if you just want to kind of get Your feet wet with raw Experiment with it. Don't put a lot of money down But having said that and on 128 gig you'll only get about 16 minutes of raw in the C200 But I would say that this is a good entry level card for people who just want to mess around with it Experiment with it see what they can get from it before they commit to a more expensive form of media and a bigger card nothing wrong with computer babe, but it is the cheapest that you can get and That comes with some sacrifices. Next we have the ego disc pro now these guys sell a lot of cards because when they started selling them I think the Middle of last year and of last year. They were the only 256 gig cards under $500. I think they were $300 this 512 gig which like I said will get you 65 minutes of raw on the C200 is $650 on Amazon plus tax They also sell a Fast capacity one the same capacity faster speed one. They also sell a higher one a gold Arrow a leafed one called the ego disc pro elite that does 600 megabytes per second, but since that camera Data rate isn't that high and I haven't had that much Success getting that anywhere near that type of speed in your transferring other car onto the computer I think you can pretty safely get the ego disc pro Not the elite great really great cards good brand been using it Consistently never had an issue with any file for about six or seven months and Then that time I've shot hours and hours like hundreds and hundreds of clips and never had an issue with reading with writing Never had issue with data corruption Made in China Chinese company Have had a couple of communications with them About different things on Facebook because that seems to be the only That seems to be the only channel that they respond to So can't give you a lot of information about the company per se. I've only heard good things And lastly we come to the pro grade digital. This is a new company that manufactures cards in Vietnam based in California in the Silicon Valley area It was founded by a bunch of guys who left Sandisk and Lexa to saw that those professional level cards that are you know over a thousand dollars for this 512 capacity in their opinion Not really giving the consumer value for money and sort of resting on their on their laurels of being a trusted brand so they set out to to do something different and These are only $50 more expensive than the e-goodest pro 512 and cheaper than the e-goodest pro elite I reached out to these guys found them very responsive Like I said, they're based in Silicon Valley They sent me a whole bunch of data of how they make their cards how they test their cards I can only repeat to you what I learned from them Because I've only had this card for a couple of weeks so far. Absolutely flawlessly the transfer speeds the computer Comparable with the e-good disk if not a little higher Their take on it was that that most manufacturers Basically either source their cards from a third party and put a name on them I'm pretty sure computer Bay does that There's no computer Bay factory in China, but they make their own cards They have control of the testing process and they have a thing called DVT Design verification testing where they don't just put the card in after it's manufactured and check it But they run a complete analysis of it and check every single location on the card So it's like a 45 minute process versus our you know other manufacturers might have a 45 second process if a process at all very responsive very transparent local company that's trying to Make cards available to to filmmakers and photographers that are at a much more reasonable rate But still with a really high degree of quality and degree of accountability So if you're shooting a feature film if you're shooting You know mission critical stuff if like sports or celebrity stuff I would Invest the extra $50 and go with the prograde digital. We'll see how quickly prices come down And it's sort of been a race to the bottom so far So we get all these new brands prograde digital have kind of put themselves out there And they're the first ones to bring to market a one terabyte card Which will get you about two hours of footage for all you Documentarians out there that want to just roll so you have a Brand a manufacturer a capacity for all different uses and my advice would be Go for a bigger card than you think you need because I bought this 128 gig when I just wanted to check it out. I really liked it And then I had to spend more money on the 256 and the 512 So I had this 16 minute capacity card that I really not gonna do much with I'm gonna keep shooting things like this kind of comparisons because I know that Lots of feedback that I've got from the channel so far is what stuff do I use? How do I use it? How did I choose what I chose and what's the process that goes into that? So thanks for watching and I will see you next time
