Compact, rugged and fast: The Manfrotto Professional CFexpress Type B Memory Card Reader

With the rise in popularity of CFexpress Type B cards in the photo industry, it wasn’t too surprising that Manfrotto launched their own branded CF express Type B cards back in 2020. Recently, they’ve released a complimentary product onto the market: The Professional USB 3.2, CFexpress Type B Memory Card Reader.

Now that the majority of my photography is done with the Canon EOS R5, I use CFexpress Type B memory cards almost exclusively. I shoot a lot of sports, often in burst mode, and these cards can keep up in a fast-paced environment with huge file sizes. Needless to say, I was interested in trying out this new memory card reader from Manfrotto.
