Data Protection Features

The Angelbird CFast 2.0 Reader includes an integrated write-protect switch that allows users to lock cards during transfer. This protection prevents accidental deletion or formatting of precious data, offering peace of mind amid busy and complex shoot schedules. Additional electronic safeguards against overload and ESD enhance reliability and device longevity.
