I got a Bmpcc 4K and this has helped me a lot. Thank you!

Paid 740 with the taxes for my 1tb cfast. Never looked back. I still record on the on he Samsung t5s as I have multiple cameras and one cfast. However I have to to shoot with multiple cords at my disposal for backup and it can certainly be a pain if one goes out in middle of shoot. Hope to switch to all cfast in the near future.

There are clamps for cables from Smallrig etc that hold the cable very securely, Cfast prices are a joke, you could buy so many useful things with that money.

I use three Samsung 1TB T5 SSDs mounted using Tilta hardware & cables to my three BMPCC4K. Very reliable.

I use CFAST for hired projects, SSD when I’m shooting for myself.

Instead of Samsung T5, I opt for an NVMe enclosure with built-in cable that can house whatever M.2 SSD I prefer, like 970 EVO Plus, which is even faster and can be used as a boot drive as well.

May I ask what data rates/compression ratios you can record at? What is the particular enclosure that you use? I have been thinking about trying this. Lately I've had problems recording with conventional 500 gb ssd's in Ugreen enclosures for clips over about 25 minutes at 12:1 30 fps. I believe it's a buffer issue. Thanks!

I found a Visiontek enclosure that's about the size of a vape pen. I then found a PCIe dock I use on my editing rig from ICYdock. I can take my NVMe out of the Visiontek and place it in the ICYdock for blazing speed!!

That’s great but the bmpcc4k is very pocket with those whihc one did you use becuase mine doesn’t work witht he bmpcc4k at all

I've been thinking about switching for a while. I shoot so many weddings and have gone through several USB-C cables. It's starting to cost a little too much to replace them especially the Kondor Blue ones. Those go out pretty quick. Luckily during the failure of one recently, I had a spare close by. C-Fast just seems like the way to go.

Does the Sandisk Cfast card you show in the video work with the BMPCC 4K? It is not in the list of the compatible media, but I would like to get one if I know it will work. Has anyone got experience with the Sandisk Cfast and these cameras?

great info, well explained

good video. thanks for the helpful information.

great video man. question, what speeds and size do i need if i'm shooting mostly at Braw, 24 fps, sometimes at 60 fps and at 5:1? thanks

Hi, I recently got my bpmcc4k, I'm using Samsung T7 SSD. But the problem is somehow I can't record higher resolution than raw 12:1, and the camera keep dropping frames. And the other problem is I can review my footage on camera, but I can't review some of it on my Mac, I'm frustrated. Is it because the camera is second handed? The last owner already broke it or what. Someone help me pls.

My take on it is that when the 6K came out all the 4K owners got frustrated and decided it wasn't worth the upgrade to justify their investiment in the 4K. Enough time passed when the Pro came out and it was suddenly worth the upgrade. I had the 4K and got the 6K when it came out. Haven't looked back. Thanks for the reply and keep up the great work!
