PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

More and more cinema cameras are enabled to record directly via USB-C to an SSD, unlocking faster workflows and longer takes. We worked closely with SanDisk Professional and Panasonic to optimize performance when using the SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE SSD Mag (up to 2TB). These drives deliver blazing-fast read and write speeds up to 1,000 MB/s with the Kondor Blue Pro-Blade SSD Handle.

Every feature of the Pro-Blade SSD Handle for SanDisk USB-C recording has been meticulously considered and optimized. Not only does the handle perform as an incredible top handle, but it can also be used as a side handle. The NATO rail that runs along the base serves as a great platform for dialing in balance and positioning for either orientation. The NATO features an integrated safety stop giving you confidence that the handle won’t slip free. 

The drive slides smoothly into the handle and has a recessed cutout on top for users to be able to grab the pull tab of the drive to remove. The USB-C interface on the front of the grip is nested into a vertical NATO rail which provides great protection without any extra fuss. The vertical NATO also pairs perfectly with our NATO to NATO Swivel Tilt Monitor Mount.

The KONDOR BLUE Pro-Blade SSD Handle also features a cold shoe with a spring-loaded safety stop and 2x ¼ 20 ARRI style mounts. The mounting NATO clamp can also be oriented in parallel or perpendicular modes and is held in place with two captive M4 bolts and anti-twist pins. The NATO clamp stem can also be removed altogether to work with KONDOR BLUE’s NATO Clamp to ARRI Rosette and Quick-Release Rosette Module. 

Best of all, the KONDOR BLUE Pro-Blade SSD Recording Handle is also comfortable! The combination of the side cross hatchings, diamond plate style G10, and finger cutouts make this grip an ergonomic dream. This handle is built like a tank but lights like a plane to be a workhorse for years to come.

* Ships with a 12" right-angle KONDOR BLUE USB-C to USB-C cable

  * For select cameras, 4 TB Drives may encounter delays between recording clips as the higher capacity drive requires more power to operate. You may see the drive go offline after a clip has been recorded, and it may take a few seconds before it is ready to record again. This does not occur with 2 TB or 1 TB drives.
