Introducing the PGYTECH Card storage & reader<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This is a recent addition to PGYTECHs range of memory card cases – with the added bonus that it includes a card reader, which makes the thing a whole lot more interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The storage\/reader part slides out from an alluminium housing, covered in a green (or black) rubber\/neoprene protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are 2 versions – CFExpress A and B – as the ‘A’ type cards don’t seem that popular (and as such are way more expensive) and my cameras use the ‘B’ version, we’ll concentrate on that version.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

As can be seen in this image, there are card storage slots for 2 x CFE B cards and 3 x SD cards. (Also microSD and SIM).<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The slots for the card reader are at the top, on the opposite side. A neat USB-C cable unfolds from the case and the whole thing is dust proof and protected from water (when closed) but NOT waterproof. I’ve never actually been tempted to try to download a card underwater, so this is hardly a huge concern for me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An additional USB-C slot allows to connect an externe power source (useful if, like me, you download your cards to a phone\/external disk in the field) – good move this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At around 90\u20ac this is not cheap kit – and I’m trusting it lives up to expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

UPDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s arrived and it’s a very well built\/designed bit of kit. It’s supplied with a microSD\/SD adaptor and a SIM card ‘key’ \/ screwdriver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve tested the card reader, and not surprisingly it reads my CFEexpress cards but not my XQD cards (which is of no importance to me – I have 4 or 5 which need to go…) The interface is fast (USB-C) and the cable is neatly stored in the unit itself. Recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Purchasing advice – buy this on the PGYTECH <\/strong>site and you’ll end up paying 40\u20ac less than the recommended price on Amazon – yes, it ships from China but mine arrived in 2 weeks, at no extra cost.<\/em>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
