CFast 2.0 card for cinema cameras

The Exascend Essential 256GB CFast 2.0 EXSC3X is built for professional video workflows. It is certified for Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K and 4.6K G2 bodies, Z CAM E2 series, and Canon Cinema EOS models including C20, C300 Mark II, C700 FF, 1D Mark II, XC10 and XC15. It also works with Atomos Ninja Star and Hasselblad H6D systems that accept CFast media.

Thermal and power profile in normal use

The card delivers sustained 400 MB/s write performance across all capacities with a VPG-130 guarantee of 130 MB/s minimum sustained write speed. Maximum read speed reaches 520 MB/s. Solid-state construction means no moving parts, silent operation and low power draw during continuous recording. Factory Data Recovery service is included under warranty for physical damage events.

Build integration and system needs

The CFast 2.0 form factor fits directly into compatible camera slots and external recorders without adapters. It frees up workflow bottlenecks by providing enough capacity for extended high-bitrate capture. No additional power or cooling provisions are required beyond the host device. Buyers who need larger capacities or different media formats should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How do I insert the CFast 2.0 card into my Blackmagic URSA Mini Pro 12K without bending the connector pins?

Align the keyed notch on the card with the slot guide, press straight in until the eject button clicks, and never force it at an angle.

Will the Exascend Essential 256GB card need reformatting or firmware updates after heavy VPG-130 recording sessions?

No firmware updates are required; reformat in-camera using the camera's own format function to restore sustained 130 MB/s write performance.

At what sustained write speed does the VPG-130 guarantee stop being met during long 12K takes?

The VPG-130 certification guarantees a minimum 130 MB/s sustained write; speeds below that indicate the card can no longer meet the guarantee.
