Prograde Digital PGM12 Single-slot Mobile CFexpress Type A USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C Card Reader

ProGrade Digital, Inc. announces its PGM12 mobile card reader, a single-slot CFexpress Type A card reader.

The PGM12 reader offers the same performance when transferring data as our full-size USB 3.2 Gen 2 readers, but is more portable due to its compact size.

The PGM12 is an essential tool for filmmakers and content creators who want to utilize the full potential of their mobile devices, particularly for the iPhone 15 and 16, especially when capturing 4K ProRes 120fps. With the flexibility to choose the card capacity that fits user creative demands, you’ll never have to worry about running out of space mid-shoot. Designed for versatility, the PGM12 features a patented magnetic base, metal mounting plates, and a flexible cable, providing multiple mounting options to integrate with any rig setup. With its mounting versatility, user can also use a MagSafe charger, so user device doesn’t run out of battery while shooting. Designed to streamline your workflow, the PGM12 enables fast, direct transfers from your phone to laptops or other Type-C devices – helping you move quickly from capture to post, so user can stay focused on what matters most – creating.

“Our new PGM12, CFexpress Type A mobile card reader is designed to ensure content creators can reliably utilize the full capability of their iPhone 15 or 16 Pro/Pro Max, which requires external storage for up to 120 frames/second, ProRes video recording. Our customers can now record video onto low-power, CFexpress Type A memory cards, at the highest possible quality, and not have to worry about running out of storage space, that might be experienced with a fixed capacity storage device. As a key differentiator, the PGM12 reader is designed to utilize our patented magnetic base mounting system and is small enough to be affixed to an iPhone without impeding the use of MagSafe™ charging while recording”, said Wes Brewer, CEO and founder, ProGrade Digital.

It is available now for pre-order and will be shipping at the end of April.
