Unleash the Full Power of iPhone ProRes Recording

For filmmakers, documentarians, and mobile content creators, the iPhone 15 Pro's ProRes 4K/60p capabilities are a breakthrough—until internal storage becomes the bottleneck.

1. Which cameras and devices are compatible with this recording module?
The Angelbird Kondor Blue CFexpress Recording Module is primarily designed for iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone 16 Pro Max models equipped with USB-C ports. It also supports any device with USB-C recording capabilities, including select Android devices, and can connect to computers via Thunderbolt 3/4 ports for data transfer, though it operates at USB speeds rather than full Thunderbolt bandwidth.

2. What warranty coverage and support does Angelbird provide?
Angelbird offers a 3-year limited warranty that must be activated within 30 days of purchase through their warranty portal. The warranty includes repair or replacement of malfunctioning units, plus complimentary data recovery services if hardware failure occurs. Warranty processing typically takes 2-4 business days, with replacement shipping within 2-7 business days depending on location.

3. How does this compare to built-in iPhone storage for video recording?
Unlike fixed iPhone storage, the CFexpress module enables unlimited recording capacity by accepting cards up to 4TB. Internal iPhone storage typically fills within 10-15 minutes when recording ProRes 4K/60p, while CFexpress cards provide hours of continuous recording. The module also offers superior data transfer speeds at 20 Gb/s compared to standard iPhone backup methods, significantly reducing post-production workflow times.

4. What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
The aluminum housing requires minimal maintenance due to its shock and temperature resistance. However, CFexpress cards should be formatted regularly using the camera's format function rather than computer-based formatting. Angelbird provides free SSD Manager software for macOS that monitors card health, performs optimization, and tracks warranty status. The recessed USB-C connection reduces wear, but cables should be inspected periodically for damage.

5. What distinguishes Angelbird from competing CFexpress accessories?
Angelbird's collaboration with Kondor Blue resulted in unique features including MagSafe magnetic mounting, Solid Connect™ recessed ports, and ARRI-standard mounting points. Unlike generic adapters, this module undergoes extreme temperature and shock testing, carries comprehensive warranty coverage, and includes professional-grade accessories. The space gray and raven black color options match professional cinematography equipment aesthetics.
