I am using 2 EgoDisk 256gb CF cards, and they both performed flawlessly in my first test at 4.6k full frame lossless in dual card mode. Having the same problem here on my first night with the new cam, and I might have something for ya! I'm also using a maxoak battery and was worried my cheap power source might be the cause (it's not). These type issues rarely cure themselves-contact support and get 'er fixed. I did have difficulty reaching them on subsequent phone calls but in fairness this was on a Friday afternoon so I can't hold that against them-particularly because I was able to satisfy all questions/needs with them via e-mail. I have to say I appreciate BM's response both in timing and result because I'm pulling out of here on Saturday morning with a thousand mile drive in front of me before a shoot next week.

spent some time carefully evaluating it and found it to be without issues (I'd also requested they install the rainbow flare solution when I sent my cam in). My replacement UMP arrived yesterday afternoon. So now I'm suspecting the video circuit or some near catastrophic failure with no way to test it.Ĭontacted BM Support in Fremont, CA by phone, got an RMA and FedEx'd out the next day. While it may be obvious I should state the menu was not available during my 'blackout.' Just for the heck of it I tried different lenses (you never know), reversed my cfast2.0 cards, went to SD cards, still no go. Hmmm, okay let's eliminate the power source question (I use the BlackMagic v-mount), pulled the battery off and went A/C. Suspected a power problem, changed to a fresh battery, turned the camera on, picture showed for about a second and a half, flickered then went black. Dan- the problem you describe sounds like what I experienced with my UMP last week.Ĭamera had probably one or two hours testing on it-worked great, and then.
