ax53 help with memory card

[motorhomer]

Hello all

I have just bought the AX53 camcorder and wanted to get the bet SD card for recording in 4k 

I already have a Sandisk Extreme 90mb/s 64GB card which is ok in all formats except 4K

So I was told to get an extreme pro card. I bought the following

SanDisk Extreme PRO 128GB Class 10 SDXC Memory Card 4K Ultra HD 

but I get the following error when I turn on the camera

Either switch to sdxc class 10 or uhs-ii compatible memory card or change file format

I assume from this that the card I bought is not compatible with this camcorder

Can someone please recommend the best one to get so I don't waist anymore money

I actually have five or six of these cards, so yes, they definetly work.

Are you certain the card is genuine? There are many counterfeit cards around nowadays which are slower/smaller cards with a fake sticker and config file.

not sure how to see if it is genuine. Bought from an ebay supplier with 100% positive feedback and 25 sold with no problems most people found it run faster in devices.

It works ok on my Canon DSLR and in the laptop

also came in an original packaging.

I would say from what I can see this is genuine but how can you really tell

Hello @motorhomer,

here is how you find out whether the card is fake or not: https://photographylife.com/fake-memory-cards

Thanks for the link, I think you may be write. No serial number on the back which all scandisk have.

write speed 10 mb/s 

read speed 13mb/s

which is slow compared to my 90mb/s card which reached over 24 mb/s on both read and write.

I will contact ebay to report this and request a refund

Nic thank you for your help with this, least this is one problem solved.

Camcorder still going back as not happy with the volume problem. If I get a refund will be looking at possible a canon camcorder if i can get one under £500 with external mic jack and stabilization.

can you link to the post here in the community, where you describe said problem?

Maybe it is just a settings issue!?

A V30 card should allow 30MB/s writespeed (or very close to that, depending on how you have the card hooked up to the PC you are testing the writespeed with.

Having trouble posting the link so hopefully this one works.

The conversation on the audio is in this link 

I uploaded some videos to my youtube with the issues under my channel link

Dont think the link is working again, if you look under cameras > camcorders my discussion is titled near the top

AX54 audio stereo levels not constant balance
