If you own the BlackMagic URSA cameras or the Canon EOS-1D X Mark II then you know how expensive it is right now to get enough storage. These are some of the latest cameras that also use the latest tech in portable storage; the CFast 2.0 cards. Usually whatever is the newest is also the most expensive. But don't worry, there is a way to cheat your camera into thinking you are using expensive CFast 2.0 cards when in fact you are recording to a cheap and easy to get SSD (solid state drive). I did a video below to show you how to do it yourself for less than a $100 (plus the cost of your SSD). Also I provide the links where you can buy the necessary part to build this.
