ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B 512GB
$150.00 /day
The definitive ultra-high-speed, high-capacity storage solution for extended cinematic setups and uncompromised production workflows, the ProGrade Digital CFexpress Type B 512GB Gold Card is now available for rental in Hong Kong. Delivering a blistering maximum read speed up to 1700MB/s and a sustained write speed up to 1600MB/s, this professional-grade media core handles high-bitrate video formats effortlessly. Engineered to provide vast recording headroom for modern flagship mirrorless and cinema cameras, it eliminates data bottlenecks during continuous 4K, 6K, and 8K RAW video capture. The ultimate choice for documentary features, commercial sets, and seamless high-volume 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 512GB CFexpress Type B Gold Professional Memory Card is an elite, high-capacity storage asset engineered for professional cinematographers, commercial production houses, and digital imaging technicians (DIT), making it an essential core component for high-end camera gear hire in Hong Kong. Custom-built to handle the immense data throughput generated by next-generation image sensors, this premium storage media delivers a maximum read speed of 1700MB/s and a stable, sustained write speed of 1600MB/s to ensure zero frame dropping across extended recording sessions.
When executing an equipment hire for feature documentaries, high-bitrate commercial advertising campaigns, or extensive multicam studio setups in Hong Kong, lower capacity cards require frequent card swaps that disrupt production momentum. This expanded 512GB configuration solves that operational bottleneck flawlessly. It leverages advanced NVMe PCIe 3.0 interconnect architecture to stream massive raw digital assets directly into its flash arrays, providing ample recording duration for uncompressed 4K, 6K, and 8K RAW timelines. Built to withstand continuous production stress, it keeps your mobile on-set ingestion workflows running efficiently under tight turnaround schedules.
Applicable Scenarios:
-
Extended 8K RAW Cinema Production: Provides expansive storage headroom to continuously record high-bitrate uncompressed RAW or ProRes formats without thermal or data throttling.
-
Long-Form Documentary Feature Shoots: Minimizes critical on-set card swaps during long interviews or continuous observational setups, keeping the camera crew perfectly agile.
-
Lightning-Fast On-Set DIT Ingestion: Drastically shortens offloading cycles when paired with a high-speed Thunderbolt reader, allowing technical crews to transfer large media batches 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.
-
Sustained 1600MB/s High-Capacity Write Pipeline: Sustains blazing-fast write limits up to 1600MB/s to cleanly record continuous high-bitrate cinema formats without buffer clipping.
-
Vast 512GB Professional Storage Headroom: Expanded storage capacity accommodates massive media files, significantly increasing safe recording durations on location.
-
Advanced PCIe 3.0 & NVMe Interconnect Protocol: Next-generation data bus integration guarantees absolute data path stability and rapid application responsiveness.

(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 512GB 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: What is the exact workflow advantage of renting this 512GB model over the smaller 256GB version for an all-day commercial shoot?
A: While both cards share identical blistering performance metrics on the NVMe data bus, the 512GB model provides exactly double the storage volume. When shooting high-bitrate formats like 8K RAW or ProRes 4444 XQ, a 256GB card can fill up within minutes of continuous recording, forcing your DIT crew into tight, high-pressure copy cycles. Renting the 512GB version gives your production team much wider safe boundaries, allowing you to capture longer takes, b-roll batches, and extended interviews before needing a card swap.
-
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: 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.
