FS7: Quick removal xqd cards

Removing an xqd card from my FS7 feels like changing the fuse of a car, a lot of fiddling or using a special fuse-pincet.
Is it me (thick fingers or so) or do have more people trouble pulling the damn cards out of the card slot?

I didn't try WD40 yet and won't advice it.

Any good tricks or just get used to it?
 
Especially slot one when you have a SD-card next to it!
With two 128GB cards loaded I only have to eject them once each day so it doesn't bother me that much.
 
I presume they have some kind of catch on the cards t stop them coming out too easily? They are very tight though.
 
you know to push em in and they pop out right?

as for getting chubby fingers in the right place.. yep an issue.

another note.. check that there are no flashing lights.. you can still be writing to the card after switching the camera off.

the only issue i have is with slot A since i always have a SD card in (now that i am thinking about it, i am actually not really sure why) but in general they pop out ok and i can pull them out....
but i only have 128 cards so i don't have to do this so much during shooting.....
i remember when red made their mags smaller and people complained (not manly enough? big hands, big cards, har har)....i prefer small size cards, as long as the capacity and speed is good, smaller is better IMO....

Double check the light, don't trust your assumptions!!
 
I just push in, it pops out a little bit, then I grip the edges (toward the top of the camera and bottom of the camera, not the "face" and "back" of the card). There is more clearance on the sides of the card for your fingers.
