Alongside this speed upgrade also comes the new MobileLite Plus UHS-II card readers.

Kingston’s new MobleLite Plus card reader is made to complement the high-speed Canvas Plus cards. It supports USB 3.2 Gen 1 speeds for even higher transfer speeds – which is essential for many of us who are working on the field. It is also especially useful since higher-quality videos tend to have higher bitrate which means larger file size, despite having the same frame rate and resolution.
The new Canvas Plus series of flash storage cards are backed by a lifetime warranty, free technical support, and are made with the legendary Kingston level of reliability. For more information visit kingston.com.
