Just got an a7 IV for a wedding shoot in two weeks. I read that Sony Tough cards are the best but theyre so expensive and Im confused if I really need v90s for stills.
Also keep seeing people suggest a SmallRig cage but is that overkill if I dont do video? What are the absolute essentials I actually need?

Unfortunately, I had issues with the value of the Sony Tough SF-G Series V90 128GB. It isnt as good as expected for the price. The Kingston Canvas React Plus 128GB V90 UHS-II offers identical 300MB/s speeds for much less. While V90 is technically overkill for wedding stills, the ProGrade Digital SDXC UHS-II V60 Gold 128GB felt sluggish during buffer clearing. Skip the cage, honestly.

Ngl, i spent hours geeking out over bitrates when I got mine. V90 is totally overkill for stills unless you're spraying and praying at 10fps lol! Use these instead:
- Lexar Professional 1667x 128GB SDXC UHS-II V60 cards work great. Buffer clears fast enough for wedding moments
- Forget the cage! Get a Peak Design Slide Camera Strap Black. It saved my neck during a 10-hour shoot last summer Check the Alpha Shooters site for speed charts!

In my experience, skip the cage, its just dead weight for stills tho. Honestly, my biggest warning is never skip the dual slot setup. Always write to both cards so a failure doesnt ruin everything.
