Hi all, I know these topics have been posted about before but wanted to see what the most recent thoughts on these are:

I'm wondering what the preferred brand of CFast cards is, and if non-Canon approved brands like Angelbird are reliable? Much of the content I'm shooting for my current documentary is of the nature that it cannot ever be captured again, so reliability is key — but if there's no substantial difference, I'd prefer to save money where I can, as Angelbird 256gig is a bit cheaper.

Also, which bags or cases do people use to carry their C300? I do a lot of walking in the city from one location to the other so I'm looking for something with wheels preferably, but also carry on size. Any recommendations?

Any info on either point would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
 
the angelbird 256 GB cards are reliable .I have 6 of them for my c200 and they work without problems.
 
I just bought a Silicon Power 256 GB based on suggestions from folks here.

I use a lowerpro backpack. But that feels f***ing heavy. So I would love to hear what others use for similar situations.
 
Timely post, have a potential shoot with a C300 II and trying to sort out if my Cfast cards will work. Anyone successfully use Angelbird 512 GB cards with the C300 II? I vaguely recall hearing the camera is particularly picky about 512 GB capacities.
 
I should add that I'm only shooting at 160mps, so would that relatively low bit rate make these cards that much less likely to malfunction?
