ProGrade Digital has introduced SDXC/microSDXC UHS-II Dual-Slot Mobile Card PGM0.5), an entirely new memory card reader designed to provide active content creators the freedom to edit on the go.
The PGM0.5 gives content creators the power to download footage from a DSLR or mirrorless camera that uses an SDXC card and a drone or action camera that uses a microSDXC card directly to a mobile device that has a USB Type C connector such as a tablet or smartphone.
With breakthrough data transfer speed, the capability to copy from two memory cards, and a travel-friendly form factor –– the PGM0.5 delivers even more flexibility to content creators looking to expand the limits of their creativity.
State-of-the-Art Memory Card Reader for All Content Creators
Content is everywhere. The witty copy on the side of your plant-based milk carton, the catchy slogan on the back of your jacket, the newsletter in your inbox, even the very article you’re reading right now. It’s all content. And then there’s video. By far the most engaging type of content.
Fueled by the ever-decreasing prices of high-quality cameras and the ever-increasing popularity of social media platforms like YouTube and Tiktok, video content is here to stay. After all, we are hardwired to retain visual content better than an article packed with words.
Who makes all that content? Well, we all do. Social media platforms merely provide the medium that we, in turn, and pretty much voluntarily, fill with engaging mukbangs, tutorials, cat videos, and our epic fails. Not to mention us taking things out of boxes and putting things back into boxes.
So in a sense, we’re all content creators. Some of us have just figured out how to make a living out of it. Hence, producing content on a much bigger scale and in much faster-paced environments, constantly looking for shortcut tools that help speed up the process.
Challenges Content Creators Face
Content creation is challenging. You need to make something out of nothing. And sometimes you need to make it over and over and over again. Consistency is the key to success. Your library of amazing videos is what eventually determines whether you can build a group of dedicated followers and make it in this competitive field or not.
You can’t allow burdening your mind with all sorts of technical stuff; the creative side is demanding enough. Coping with technical failures or working around the limits of your equipment will not get you very far. At least not in the long run.
It goes without saying that when committed to tight content schedules and facing multiple deadlines, you need equipment you can rely on. A camera capable of recording a 4K video is practically useless if it constantly fails on you.
Devil is In the Details
More and more content creators are starting to realize that little details matter. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link. There’s no point in investing in the best camera and the fastest computer only to hinder their capabilities with consumer-grade memory cards.
Most content creators know by now that not all memory cards are created equal, and day by day, more and more of them opt for professional-grade memory cards used in high-end TV and movie productions to squeeze the most out of their cameras.
That said, many still tend to overlook the importance of memory card readers in their workflow. Instead, card readers are often seen merely as dongles meant to connect things and compensate for the missing internal readers. In reality, they’re much more than that.
Cheap card readers are not only slow but also account for most of the card failures and data losses in creators’ workflows.
