The main reason is that the drive come formatted from the factory with a non standard sector size of 520B or 528B, and windows refused to initialized drive other than the normal 512B or 4Kb. What do you think of the DriveMount SSD mounting solution? Do you use SSD recording with the BMPCC 4K? Let us know in the comments underneath the article.For those of you who have purchased OEM rebranded HDD or SSD from major storage vendor such as NetApp, EMC, or even HP, you might find out that the drive that you've purchased will not initialized in windows. Links:  | DriveMount Kickstarter campaign You simply support the manufacturer with your money and as a benefit – if everything goes smoothly – you’ll get the final product at a discount. Please remember: Kickstarter is not a shop and you don’t buy things there. There is still time until the end of 2018 to back this project and get the DriveMount. Once again, the Kickstarter campaign can be found here. And finally, the DriveMount SSD Bundle with a 500GB SSD will set you back $175,. The DriveMount Rail Bundle with a 15mm rods adapter costs $150,. The DriveMount Shoe Bundle including a cold shoe adapter costs $130,. When this offer (25 pieces) runs out, the price for a basic package will be $120,. When taking advantage of the “early backer discount”, the DriveMount case (with the cable) costs $100,- and there are still a couple of those available. The enclosed cable features the SATA connector on one end and USB-C on the other. The enclosure of a USB-C cable raises the cost of an SSD, yet with DriveMount you won’t need to worry about any of that. As an example: a 500GB 2.5″ internal SSD costs around $100,- whereas 512GB CFast 2.0 cards start at more than $500,. The advantage I see here is using standard external 2.5″ SSDs, as they are the cheapest option given the capacity. It features sliding rails for the mounting point, so the case itself can be repositioned if necessary. The DriveMount is made out of black aluminum. It can, of course, nicely complement any BMPCC 4K cage too, as these always have plenty of 1/4″-20 mounting points. Because the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K happens to have one 1/4″-20 mounting point on top, this is a convenient way to mount an SSD right there, without any cage.

There is a new product on Kickstarter from SoulCow (two independent filmmakers Ethan Soule and Ben Cowper), called DriveMount and it allows mounting a standard 2.5″ SSD to any 1/4″-20 screw hole. I particularly like Tilta’s approach with their screws-secured USB-C cable. Important is that some of the cage manufacturers already considered the SSD mounting option and offer solutions for that. This is not a comprehensive list, as there are probably even more options by now.

Now, there are a lot of options when it comes to rigging the BMPCC 4K. Other cage manufacturers introduced their versions shortly after. One question arose: “How to conveniently and securely attach SSDs to the camera?”īy the time the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k has started shipping, there have already been a few cages available. Please note that we are comparing prices-per-GB here. Last but not least, SSDs are fast enough and they are significantly cheaper than CFast 2.0 memory cards. CFast 2.0 cards are fast enough for whatever the BMPCC 4K sends their way, but they are quite expensive. SD cards are relatively cheap, but their write speed does not allow for highest quality (Cinema DNG RAW 270MBps) recording. The new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k can record to either SD cards, CFast 2.0 cards or SSDs. Many filmmakers were really thrilled when this feature was first announced, because SSDs are a great speed-size-price package. The one feature of the new BMPCC 4K that is relevant for this article right now, is the ability to record to an external SSD via USB-C port. For more information about the BMPCC 4K, you can check out the comprehensive review that my colleague Nino did in October. The Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k has already been on the market for a couple of months now. Depending on the pledge you choose, the bundle will come with a USB-C cable, s tandard 1/4″-20 threaded mount, standard Shoe Mount, 15mm Rail or even a 500GB SSD. The DriveMount is a new Kickstarter project – an aluminum case, which allows you to attach a standard 2.5″ SSD to a 1/4″-20 screw hole (like the one on top of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K).
