Film & Production Data Recovery
Lost the footage from the shoot? It's rarely gone for good.
RED MINI-MAG, JinniMag, Longtake and KipperTie SSD storage modules recovered for film and media production companies worldwide, in our own laboratory. Stop using the module and don't run recovery software on it — get it assessed first.
The problem
Production storage doesn't fail like a laptop drive.
RED MINI-MAG, JinniMag, Longtake and KipperTie modules record straight to solid-state storage. When one stops mounting, or a camera is damaged mid-shoot, the footage sitting on it is often irreplaceable.
These modules are solid-state drives formatted with a FAT32 file system, and recovering them safely takes techniques developed specifically for that combination — the wrong approach risks overwriting or further damaging data that a general recovery tool would not handle correctly.
Data is recovered for production companies, businesses and individual clients, and even physically damaged RED cameras have had footage recovered from the module inside. Every job gets a clear, fixed quote before any recovery work begins.

JinniMag, Longtake & KipperTie
The same solid-state recovery process applied to these alternative camera storage systems.
Physically damaged cameras
Where the module has come out of a damaged RED camera body, footage is still frequently recoverable.
Process
From failed module to footage back.
- 01
Ship it in
A 24-hour worldwide UPS shipping option is available. Same-day collection can be arranged, with work typically starting the next day.
- 02
Assessment & fixed quote
The module and its FAT32 file system are examined, and a fixed quote is confirmed before recovery work starts.
- 03
Recovery
Solid-state recovery techniques developed over years of dedicated R&D on this storage type are used to retrieve the footage.
- 04
Verified return
Recovered footage is checked and returned to you securely.
Experience
An honest recovery rate, not a promised one.
No lab can promise 100% recovery, and this one won't either. Across RED MINI-MAG and related module cases, roughly 8 out of 10 clients get their footage back — a track record built on years of solid-state recovery work rather than a single case.
Clients have shipped modules in from across the UK and worldwide, including Spain, the USA, Portugal, Italy, Sweden and Germany — postage is usually the most practical option, since a specialist in this storage type is rarely local. The laboratory also has broader experience with other filming and broadcast equipment, including work carried out for the BBC in Northern Ireland on other storage types.
Ship it in — worldwide 24-hour courier options are available — for an honest assessment and a fixed quote before any recovery work begins.
