🎥 Filming in 8K: Do you need a V60?

Many people are wondering if the V60 is mandatory for filming in 8K on the A1.
The answer is no : the V30 is sufficient for the required writing speed.

A V60 card can be useful if:

• You film continuously for a very long time.
• You want to maximize the safety margin on the data rates.

But in 99% of cases, a good V30 is more than enough.

Symptoms of an incompatible card:

• the recording stops by itself
• micro-cuts appear
• Error message “card too slow”
• corrupted files
