Fourth-generation CFexpress Type A cards from Angelbird target Sony Alpha and Cinema Line shooters with two tiers, Stable Stream firmware, high sustained write speeds, rugged ratings, and capacities up to 1.6 TB.
Top-end sustained write performance up to 1600 MB/s and maximum read up to 1870 MB/s, with Stable Stream tech to keep throughput consistent as cards fill.
Ruggedized construction (shock, dust, moisture, x-ray, magnet, temperature resistant), 3-year limited warranty, and in-house data recovery service.
# What this is Angelbird has released the fourth generation of its AV PRO CFexpress Type A cards aimed at Sony Alpha and Cinema Line cameras. The new family splits into two clearly defined tiers and focuses on sustained throughput for demanding video formats while offering a rugged hardware package and warranty support.
# Product tiers and who they're for
The company positions the SE model for steady photo and hybrid use and the AV PRO models for workloads that require sustained, intensive recording performance.
# Performance and technology
All cards use Angelbird's Stable Stream technology. Stable Stream is described as keeping performance consistent as the card fills across repeated sessions rather than only when new or freshly formatted. The lineup also incorporates advanced thermal management to support sustained throughput under heavy workloads.
# Durability and support The cards are rated shock, dust, moisture, x-ray, magnet and temperature proof. They come with a 3-year limited warranty, free firmware updates, and access to Angelbird's in-house data recovery service (activation requirements for recovery service were mentioned in industry coverage). These details make the cards suitable for location work where physical stress and variable environments are common.
# Pricing and availability The new cards are listed as available now with US pricing as follows:
# Practical takeaways If your workflow includes long continuous high-bitrate video recordings, multiple repeated takes, or 8K RAW/Sony X-OCN on supported Sony bodies, the AV PRO line is built to meet sustained-write demands. If you shoot stills or hybrid content and want a Type A CFexpress option without the top sustained-write ceiling, the 200 GB AV PRO SE provides a single compact SKU with VPG200 certification.
Choosing between tiers should be based on sustained write requirements rather than file type: higher VPG ratings indicate stronger guarantees for continuous recording under heavy workloads. The rugged ratings, warranty, and data recovery option are useful for production environments where media reliability and post-incident recovery matter.
# Bottom line Angelbird's v4 CFexpress Type A cards reinforce a performance-first approach for Sony camera users, offering a clear mid/high-end split, high sustained write/read numbers, thermal and firmware features to maintain throughput, and a warranty/recovery package aligned with professional use.
