Michael Hammond Posted December 4, 2019 Share Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I'm currently testing out the UMP 4.6K G2 and it looks like I can only record to one CF card or one SD card at a time. No backup, no mirrored recording. And I'm also reading (haven't had a chance to test it myself yet) that if recording to a CF card I can't also record to something like an Atomos via the 12g SDI? Are these things correct? I feel like I don't get a clearly concise answer anywhere but I'm not looking hard enough? I'm loving the picture quality of this camera but in a professional setting I need backup recordings to cover my butt should something go wrong with an in-camera card. If I can't have backup recording in this camera I'll probably go to the C300mk2 whose image I don't like nearly as much as the UMP. Thanks for any input on this!

Sustaining Member Oliver Christoph Kochs Posted January 9, 2020 Sustaining Member Share Posted January 9, 2020 No, it does neither dual slot rec nor record additionally to the USB-C. I have the Video Assist connected recording ProRes LT at all times. Saved me twice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Hammond Posted January 9, 2020 Author Share Posted January 9, 2020 Thanks Oliver - this is the conclusion I've come to myself since I posted the question. I've added a Atomos recorder to the camera as back-up. I do believe this is a significant design flaw and I know a lot of people are asking BM to update the cameras to allow dual slot recording if nothing else.
