Lexar Professional 64 GB CompactFlash - 2 Pack
Unlock professional-grade performance for your DSLR or camcorder with the Lexar Professional 1066x CompactFlash cards. This 2-pack delivers dependable speed, generous storage, and the reliability you need when photographing during weddings, sports, wildlife, or studio sessions. With 64 GB of capacity per card and read transfer speeds up to 160 MB/s, these CompactFlash cards are engineered to keep pace with high-end bodies and high-resolution workflows, enabling photographers and videographers to capture more with fewer interruptions. Whether you’re sprinting through a fast-paced event, building a documentary, or pushing into 4K capture, the Lexar Professional 1066x CF cards offer a robust foundation for your creative process. The 2-pack gives you immediate redundancy and plenty of headroom for long shoots, multiple cameras, or backup reserves, so you can stay focused on the moment rather than worrying about storage limits.
- Blazing 1066x read speeds up to 160 MB/s (approx. 1066x), empowering rapid offloads from card to computer and helping you review shots faster on set. This high-speed performance reduces downtime between takes and ensures you can keep shooting without delays, even when handling high-resolution RAW files or multi-media bursts. The speed headroom also helps with quick backups during field work, so you can secure your work while on location.
- High sustained write performance supports continuous shooting of RAW files and high-bitrate video, including 1080p full-HD, 3D, and 4K formats. When your camera’s buffer needs to drain quickly, these cards deliver the reliable throughput necessary to maintain a smooth workflow, minimizing the risk of dropped frames or stalled sequences during critical moments.
- Ample capacity with 64 GB per card means you can shoot more images and longer videos before swapping cards, which is especially valuable at events, weddings, nature shoots, or on location where changing media is time-consuming. With two cards in the pack, you gain a reliable backup and the ability to separate card roles (e.g., main shoot on one card and backup or parallel shoots on the other) to streamline organization and post-production.
- Rugged, professional-grade CompactFlash Type I form factor is designed for heavy use in the field. The cards are built to withstand demanding shooting environments and integrate with a broad range of professional cameras that rely on CF media for high performance. Their durable construction helps protect your data from real-world conditions like temperature shifts, dust, and frequent card insertions and removals during intensive shoots.
- Value-packed 2-pack gives you immediate redundancy and peace of mind. It’s a smart choice for backups, long shoots, and on-location projects where changing media is routine, reducing risk of data loss and downtime. The two-card bundle enables you to dedicate one card to a specific shoot or scenario and reserve the other for overflow, ensuring you stay ready for sudden lighting changes, unexpected opportunities, or extended shooting sessions without pausing to swap media.
