After an R5 II recording session ended unexpectedly, I got home and could not find an important clip. This is my personal experience with Angelbird’s recovery service and why it changed how I think about memory-card support.

What happened to the footage
The camera had stopped during a long interview after my cooling setup ran out of battery. I could not establish whether the missing recording was caused by the camera, card, or another part of the setup. Canon suggested contacting the card manufacturer.
What Angelbird recovered
After checking my purchase information, Angelbird arranged shipping to Austria. The team rebuilt the missing recording and recovered the beginning of the interview that I needed. Some sections still had playback and audio problems, so this was a valuable partial recovery rather than a perfect restoration.
Why I was impressed
In my case, shipping was covered and the card was replaced with an upgraded model. I do not know whether those terms apply to every customer or situation. The review reflects the support I personally received, which left me much more confident in choosing Angelbird again.
