ProGrade Digital announced the PGM0.5 mobile card reader, a dual-slot card reader for SDXC and microSDXC memory cards. The PGM0.5 reader has comparable performance when transferring data to full-size readers but is more portable.

The PGM0.5 is equipped with a USB 3.2 Gen 1 interface. The PGM0.5 allows users to download content to your mobile devices with a Type-C connector, such as an iPad or Android-based tablet, edit it and get back to creating all while in a highly mobile environment.

“A new wave of content creators has emerged over the last couple of years, driven strongly by
sharing platforms such as YouTube and TikTok,” ”, said Wes Brewer, CEO, and founder of ProGrade Digital. ” A large portion of these creators are operating in a highly mobile environment, utilizing a variety of devices such as smartphones, tablets, and
lightweight laptops for video editing along with powerful new editing software applications. Content capture devices, utilized by these creators, include high-resolution action
cameras, drones, and mirrorless cameras. The majority of the content captured on these
devices is stored on SD and microSD memory cards.”

“The Creator Community, at its heart, is a community of storytellers. And not a day goes by that the team at LumaTouch doesn’t marvel at the stories created by this community. This is what inspired us to design LumaFusion the way we did, and to create a visceral, enjoyable, fluid
editing experience for our customers,” said Chris Demiris, Co-Founder and Director of
Engineering for LumaTouch. “The development team at LumaTouch has been testing the new
ProGrade Digital PGMO.5 mobile card reader, and it’s clear to us they share the same
inspiration. ProGrade Digital has created an effective camera-to-timeline workflow for mobile
devices that works in perfect harmony with LumaFusion. We’re excited to see how LumaFusion
customers who shoot on DSLRs, drones, or GoPro’s react to this seamless mobile workflow.”
