Optional 128-GB Flash Memory Unit, HXR-FMU128

Sony proudly introduces the HXR-FMU128, an optional 128-GB flash memory unit exclusively designed for the HXR-NX5U camcorder. This enables hybrid recording of video footage – another world first for an AVCHD professional camcorder.

uploaded directly. This allows fast file transfer to popular NLE systems, and saves valuable time.
