Storage Solutions

SD Cards

We rely on multiple SD cards to ensure we never run out of space while capturing our adventures. We own five SD cards, each serving its own purpose.

  • Sandisk 128GB SD Card: We have two of these SD cards. They provide ample storage for our high-resolution photos and videos, ensuring we never miss a moment. We use one with the DJI Osmo Action 3 and the other with the Sony ZV-E1, both for recording in 4K at 30/60fps.

  • Kingston 128GB SD Card: Another high-capacity card helps us manage our extensive footage and images. This is the blue micro-SD card. We chose blue for the sky, making it easy to remember that this is our drone SD card, once again recording in 4K at 30fps.

  • Sandisk 64GB SD Card: Dedicated to our Canon EOS Rebel T2i, this card offers reliable storage for all our still photography needs. We always shoot in RAW mode, and for a 64GB card, we were pleasantly surprised by its ample capacity, allowing us to go for a while without needing to transfer pictures.

  • Gigastone UHS-II V60 256GB SD Card: We use the Gigastone UHS-II V60 256GB SD Card with the Sony ZV-E1 to capture stunning cinematic footage. Its high-speed performance ensures smooth recording and playback, allowing us to fully utilise the camera's advanced features. For recording in S&Q mode with the Sony ZV-E1, you need an SD card with a higher specification than V60. While we considered V90 cards, their high price was a significant drawback. Instead, we chose a 256GB V60 card, which performs flawlessly and allows us to capture cinematic shots without any issues. Additionally, it’s much more affordable compared to V90 cards.

External Hard Drive

Toshiba 4TB Canvio Flex Portable External Hard Drive: This versatile drive is compatible with Mac, Windows PC, and tablets, and works with most USB-C and USB-A devices, providing extensive storage capacity for all our footage and images.

I know the 4TB hard drive seems quite pricey, but we thought it's best to spend a bit more now, given all the footage we have, rather than run out of space and need to buy another one later. This approach is more cost-effective in the long run.

But if you don't require that much space, opting for lower storage options might be more affordable.
