Curious about one thing: how long are your typical video sets gonna be? Honestly, I'm all about safety first because losing footage is literally my worst nightmare... If you're doing super long shoots, you basically just gotta stick with SanDisk. I've found their stuff to be the most reliable for staying cool and not throttling. I mean, they're the industry standard for a reason, right? So yeah, just get any of their higher-end cards and you'll be fine!!

Check out the SD card database on Camera Memory Speed! It's an AMAZING resource for technical analysis. Since youre worried about safety, maybe look at the Lexar Professional 2000x SDXC UHS-II Card 128GB V90. Its a bit more affordable than the Sony ones but still super fast! Ngl I'm always nervous about overheating too, but these stay pretty cool. Basically, just make sure u buy from a legit dealer so u dont get a fake! gl!

Any updates on this?

> I’ve been looking at the Sony Tough G series and the ProGrade Digital Cobalt cards, but they’re quite an investment.

sooo i was in the same boat when I got my R6. Those big brands are sooo expensive tbh. I ended up trying the Kingston Canvas React Plus 128GB SDXC UHS-II V90 and it's been realy solid for 4k. It's basically way cheaper than the Sony TOUGH-G series SDXC UHS-II 128GB V90 but handles the bursts fine. I guess I'm a bit cautious about overheating too, so I usually swap cards during breaks just to be safe. Idk if it's necessary but it works for me!!

I totally agree with the point about heat management being the real dealbreaker for long video sets. After shooting with the R6 system for a while, I've noticed that sustained performance matters way more than the peak speeds on the sticker. If the card gets too hot, the camera starts to throttle the bitrate or even stops recording, which is a nightmare. Here are a couple of alternatives that have been rock solid for me over the long haul: * Angelbird AV Pro SD MK2 V90 - These are basically designed for cinema use and have great thermal management. I think they use a higher-quality controller? Not 100% sure but they stay cool.
* Wise Advanced SDXC UHS-II V90 - I've been using these for months and haven't had a single dropped frame even in summer heat. Tbh, ur mostly paying for the controller quality and sustained write speeds with these. It's an investment for sure, but definitely worth it if you're doing professional work tho.

Did this last week, worked perfectly

Saved for later, ty!

I totally agree with Kylie about heat management being the real dealbreaker. If the card throttles, that V90 rating basically becomes useless mid-shoot. I've had a moment to think about this more and honestly, if you're worried about compatibility with the R6 III, you should look at Angelbird or Sabrent. I've been testing a couple of others lately:

• Angelbird AV PRO SD MK2 V90 128GB is my top pick for video. Unlike some cards that peak then dip, these are designed for sustained write speeds so they stay way more stable during long 4k takes.
• Sabrent Rocket SDXC UHS-II V90 256GB has been a surprise hit for me too. Its super fast for raw bursts and feels really premium for a better price than the Sony Toughs.
• Delkin Devices Black V90 SDXC UHS-II 128GB is basically indestructible. They have a 48 hour replacement guarantee which is huge for peace of mind if you're doing professional gigs. I havent seen any weird errors or card slow warnings with these on my Canon gear yet, so they seem pretty solid for the R6 system tho.
