Very fast SDXC cards for filmmakers. Max 300MB/s reed and 250MB/s write, with sustained 90MB/s write (V90 rating). Seems to be genuine and sold by the official ProGrade store.
64GB - $72.98, 128GB - $113.46, 256GB - $202.40
128GB is a pretty good deal but 256GB is what got my attention. I just covered a weekend event and ran dry a pair of 128GB cards in redundancy.
These are all-time lows. ProGrade may have trouble selling off these cards because Canon, Sony and Nikon have all adopted CFexpress in addition to SD cards. These cards are nowhere near as fast as CFexpress. They are also much more expensive than the slower SD cards that a regular camera user needs. With this in mind, ProGrade may run additional sales in the near future that are even better than this one.
If you have encountered overheating with your camera during video recording, the SD card(s) may be part of the problem. A higher spec SD card tends to manage heat better. I've read reports of A7 IV users eliminating their overheating problems once they used V90 cards despite only needing V30 spec cards.
These cards are also good for photographers who need the speed. If you use an A9/A9 II, these cards can sustain the max speed that the camera clears its buffer at (~150MB/s).
