Rental Tips
Always format the media in your camera or recorder before shooting — not on a computer. This ensures the correct file system and directory structure for reliable recording.
Copy your footage to at least two separate drives at the end of each shoot day. Verify the copies play back correctly before formatting the card for the next day.
Pulling a card or drive while it is still writing corrupts data. Always stop recording, wait for the activity light to go idle, and then safely eject before removing.
Media fills up faster than you expect — 4K and RAW formats burn through storage quickly. Keep a spare formatted card or drive in your bag so you can swap without stopping the shoot.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What format should I use?
Format the media in your camera or recorder for the correct file system. For use with computers, exFAT works on both Mac and Windows. Check your device manual for supported formats.
How much footage can it hold?
Capacity depends on your codec and resolution. As a rough guide, 1 hour of 4K H.264 is about 45GB, while 4K ProRes can be 200GB+ per hour. RAW formats use even more.
Is the data wiped before each rental?
Yes — all media is formatted between rentals. We recommend you also format it yourself in your device before shooting to ensure clean file tables.
