SmallRig SSD Holder for Filmmakers to Integrate SSD Onto Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera

Camera accessory specialist SmallRig cooperated with LaCie, brand from Seagate Technology LLC, to provide an external recording solution for Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K.

Fortunately, the firm designed a SSD holder for filmmakers to integrate the SSD onto Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K.

SSD holder for filmmakers
One thing that Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K users are currently trying to overcome is how quickly the camera uses up storage space – a 256GB Cfast card only supports 20min recording. For commercial shooting, the camera 4K/6K will use 700G of space a day, which may not be enough even if filmmakers bring several T SSDs.

Frequent card change interrupts the shooting, which can potentially add unnecessary costs, and specialized memory cards are not cheap. Additional recording options outside the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K’s built-in card slot, such as recording to an external SSD would be a more efficient method, since the price per gigabyte of SSD is more affordable while providing longer shooting time.

LaCie’s rugged SSD is recognized for fast editing, backups, transfers and large storage of high-resolution source files, images, and videos. Filmmakers can even directly edit from the SSD when they are back at the office.

The SSD holder designed by the company attaches to the camera cage using two captive 1/4 -20 screws, securing both the SSD and its connected USB Type-C cable by ratcheting thumbscrew. The mount’s offset attachment on the top left corner of the cage helps avoid interference with an attached top handle, side handle, or other accessories. This time, the firm and LaCie together aim to boost the recording capacity and shooting efficiency of the Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4K/6K to the greatest extend.

Package includes:

• One SSD Mount

• One Allen Wrench

• Material(s): Aluminum alloy
