ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B 256GB
$100.00 /day
The definitive ultra-high-speed memory solution for next-generation cinema workflows and uncompromised continuous high-frame-rate photography, the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B 256GB Gold Card is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Delivering a blistering maximum read speed up to 1700MB/s and a write speed up to 1500MB/s, this professional-grade media core handles high-bitrate video codecs smoothly. Built to satisfy the rigorous data rates required by flagship mirrorless and cinema cameras, it provides a completely stable pipeline for 4K, 6K, and 8K RAW recording. The ultimate choice for demanding high-speed sports tracking, high-end commercial projects, and seamless on-set data ingestion. (Note: This standard rental package covers the memory card only; high-speed card readers and camera bodies are available for add-on rent separately.)
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The ProGrade Digital 256GB CFexpress Type B Gold Professional Memory Card is an elite, high-utility storage asset engineered for professional cinematographers, high-speed sports photographers, and demanding digital imaging technicians (DIT), making it an essential core component for specialized camera gear hire in Hong Kong. Optimized explicitly to match the blistering bus speeds of modern high-end camera motherboards, this storage media delivers a maximum read speed of 1700MB/s and a sustained write speed that prevents frame dropping under heavy operational data loads.
When executing an equipment hire for fast-paced commercial advertising campaigns, high-bitrate cinema recordings, or rapid portrait burst loops in Hong Kong, relying on standard SD cards will choke your buffer and halt your capture. High-resolution raw video formatting demands uninterrupted, high-bandwidth data paths. The ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B card solves this critical operational bottleneck flawlessly. It features advanced NVMe PCIe 3.0 interconnect protocols to seamlessly stream uncompressed 4K, 6K, and 8K video timelines straight into its flash memory without bottleneck buffering lag, keeping your digital production hub completely optimized for tight, high-pressure turnaround schedules.
Applicable Scenarios:

High-Bitrate 8K Cinema Recording: Natively supports uncompressed RAW and ProRes video capture formats on high-end cinema camera systems without thermal or data throttling.
-
Continuous High-Speed Action Burst Loops: Provides an infinite buffer clearance for professional sports or wildlife photographers capturing fast-moving subjects at high frame rates.
-
Lightning-Fast On-Set DIT Offloading: Drastically shortens ingestion cycles when paired with a high-speed Thunderbolt reader, allowing technical crews to transfer multi-gigabyte files instantly.
-
Blistering 1700MB/s Maximum Read Velocity: Drives incredible read speeds up to 1700MB/s, minimizing on-set offloading bottlenecks and accelerating post-production ingestion.

ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B 256GB Gold Memory Card x 1
- (Note: Specialized add-ons like high-speed USB-C/Thunderbolt 4 CFexpress Type B card readers, Mac mini M4 compute modules, and premium camera packages are available for add-on rent separately at our Hong Kong studio.)
-
Q: Are high-speed memory card readers, laptop computers, or digital data management software included inside this standard rental listing?
A: No, they are not. This specific rental listing covers the standalone ProGrade CFexpress Type B memory card and its protective jewel case only. It is intentionally priced for production teams, independent operators, or agency photographers who already own or are separately renting their camera systems and readers, and simply need extra storage media headroom on set. If your crew requires an independent data ingestion platform, please remember to add our high-speed card readers or Mac mini M4 compute modules to your Hong Kong gear allocation.
-
Q: Can I use this CFexpress Type B card in a camera that only has standard SD card slots, like a Sony A7 IV or a traditional DSLR?
A: No, it is physically incompatible. CFexpress Type B cards utilize a completely different mechanical shape, thickness, and pin layout compared to standard SD or SDXC media. They share the exact same physical form factor as XQD cards but operate on a much faster NVMe data bus. This card can only be inserted into cameras that feature native CFexpress Type B or XQD slots (such as the Nikon Z8, Z9, Canon R3, R5, or RED V-Raptor). Please verify your camera’s exact storage media requirements prior to execution.
-
Q: Is the data completely wiped when we rent the card, and do we need to format it prior to returning it to your studio?
A: Our studio technical team executes a strict, high-level secure erase routine on all digital media cards prior to every deployment, ensuring you receive a clean, error-free canvas straight out of the box. Your production crew has full authorization to reformat the file system structure within your specific camera body on set to align with your recording pipeline. Before returning the asset to our studio, we kindly request that your technical team safely formats the card one last time to clear your commercial files and protect your project’s data privacy.
-
Q: How is the rental fee calculated?
A: The rental fee is calculated on a 24-hour basis per rental period at Dream Scenes Studio Hong Kong.
-
Q: Is a deposit required?
A: Yes, a corresponding deposit is required for all equipment rentals in HK.
-
Q: What payment methods are accepted for the deposit?
A: We accept credit card authorization for the deposit, which is fast and convenient for local and international crews.
