Angelbird PKT CFexpress 2.0 Type B Card Reader

High-Speed, Professional-Grade Offloading for CFexpress Type B Media

When working with massive 4K/8K video files or RAW photo bursts, slow card readers can grind your workflow to a halt. For professionals using cameras like the Canon EOS R5, Nikon Z9, or Sony A7S III, every second counts—especially during high-pressure post-production timelines.
