From the Kingston XS1000 External SSD to the Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD, these essentials keep memories safe, accessible, and ready to share.

The XS1000 External SSD - Compact Power for On-the-Go Creators


Travel photography often means working with limited space and unpredictable conditions. The Kingston XS1000 External SSD solves both challenges with a sleek, pocket-sized design that still delivers speeds up to 1,050MB/s. With capacities up to 2TB, it is the perfect travel backup device for anyone shooting high-res images or 4K videos while exploring new places.

Its universal compatibility with USB-C and USB-A devices makes it ideal for connecting to laptops, cameras, or even expanding iPhone 15 storage. For those who want a cost-effective, high-speed storage solution that slips easily into a camera bag or pocket, the XS1000 is a dependable travel companion.

The XS2000 External SSD - Speed That Keeps Up With You


When working with massive 8K video files or shooting in ProRes, speed is everything. The Kingston XS2000 External SSD brings transfer speeds of up to 2,000MB/s, ensuring even large files move quickly. This means less time waiting and more time creating.

Its pocket-sized form factor means you can set up a mini creative studio anywhere, whether it is a cafe in Paris or a beachside spot in Siargao. With the ability to transfer up to 400 HD photos per second, it keeps your workflow smooth, whether you are working in the field or back at your hotel.

Kingston Canvas Go! Plus SD Card - Ready for the Road


For photographers who are constantly on the move, the Kingston Canvas Go! Plus SD card delivers the speed and reliability needed to capture fleeting moments. With transfer speeds of up to 170MB/s and U3 & V30 speed performance, it is built for 4K Ultra-HD video recording and burst-mode photography without dropped frames.

Whether you are shooting wildlife in Palawan or street scenes in Tokyo, the Canvas Go! Plus keeps your gear ready for the next shot, ensuring you never miss a moment.

Workflow Station - File Transfers Made Effortless


Managing massive media files can be just as demanding as capturing them. The Kingston Workflow Station helps streamline this process with USB 3.2 speeds and the ability to transfer files from up to four sources simultaneously.

Its modular design allows you to use the dock or individual readers independently, making it just as useful in a home studio as it is in a hotel room on assignment. For complex setups involving drones, action cams, and multiple cameras, it is a real time-saver.

Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD - Reliable Mobile Capture


Not all great photos come from a DSLR or mirrorless camera. For mobile photographers, the Kingston Canvas Select Plus microSD card offers dependable performance with storage options up to 512GB. Its A1-rated performance ensures faster app loading, while its durability makes it ready for rough conditions, whether that is a hike up Mount Pulag or a rainy shoot in Baguio.

Backed by a lifetime warranty, this microSD card is a smart investment for anyone using Android devices or portable video cameras to capture and store high-quality content.
