Xcellon CR-M5 USB-C SD UHS-II Card Reader
The Xcellon CR-M5 USB-C SD UHS-II Card Reader is a high-speed, ultra-portable workflow solution designed for photographers, videographers, and content creators needing fast file offloads on location or in the studio. Equipped with a high-performance UHS-II SD card slot and an integrated 7.9-inch (20 cm) USB-C cable, this reader allows you to quickly ingest high-resolution RAW photos, 4K footage, and audio tracks straight to your USB-C equipped laptop, tablet, or smartphone. Its lightweight, bus-powered design ensures complete mobility without needing external power adapters.
High-Speed Offloading & Backward Compatibility
Engineered to leverage high-speed UHS-II SD/SDHC/SDXC media cards, the CR-M5 delivers rapid data transfer performance over its USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface (up to 5 Gbps). It cuts down post-production waiting times significantly when moving large media libraries. The reader is also fully backward compatible with UHS-I and legacy non-UHS SD cards, providing seamless usability across all your camera media.
Rugged Aluminum Construction & Cool Operation
Housed in a durable, heat-dissipating aluminum enclosure, the CR-M5 is built to withstand the demands of field production while keeping operating temperatures low during continuous, heavy file transfers. Its compact, pocket-sized footprint easily slides into camera bags, while the integrated USB-C cable prevents cable loss and reduces port strain on your host device.
