Angelbird, the Austrian manufacturer of storage and media solutions for professional creatives, just released an entire range of CFexpress memory cards and a card reader.

Angelbird is known for offering quality products at an affordable price for filmmakers and creatives in general.

These speeds are 3.5 times faster than CFast technology! So what’s the difference between Angelbird AV PRO CFX and AV PRO CFX XT cards? Here...
