Alternatives

  • On-the-go card backup device— Off-loads cards in the field; another thing to power.

Maintenance notes

  • Keep spares in a small hard case, not loose.

Buying considerations

  • Match speed class to your camera’s burst and video needs.
  • Several smaller cards spread the risk of one failing.
