Quick answer
The Promaster USB-C Multi Card Reader accepts SD, microSD, CompactFlash, and CFast cards, making it a versatile tool for photographers who work with multiple camera formats.
Why card compatibility matters
Different cameras use different memory card formats. A single reader that handles SD, microSD, CompactFlash, and CFast cards saves you from carrying multiple readers or adapters. The Promaster USB-C Multi Card Reader covers the most common formats used in modern DSLRs, mirrorless cameras, and cinema cameras.
What about older or less common formats?
This reader does not support XQD, CFexpress, or Memory Stick formats. If you use those cards, you will need a dedicated reader or a different multi-card model. The trade-off is that the Promaster reader keeps the price lower and the size compact by focusing on the most widely used card types.
