At CINELUX, we don’t just design for performance — we design for survival. Ok that sounds rather dramatic. But recently, we put that claim to the ultimate test. We crushed the NEXA-MAG.
Using a 10-tonne hydraulic press, we set out to compare the durability of our NEXA-MAG against the industry-standard RED Mini-Mag. What followed was an experiment that revealed just how far we’ve come in building better, stronger camera media.
The setup was simple. Two drives. One press. And a whole lot of force.
Each mag was placed in the same position under the hydraulic press. We slowly applied pressure and recorded the point at which each drive structurally failed.
The RED Mini-Mag didn’t stand a chance. It crumpled under 216 kilograms of force— a considerable force, but something we felt we could improve on.
The aluminum body folded quickly, offering minimal structural resistance and little protection to the internal media.
Then came the NEXA-MAG. The press pushed harder. And harder. And harder. The NEXA-MAG held up to a staggering 1750 kilograms of force before it showed signs of deformation — that’s over 8 times the force it took to crush the Mini-Mag.
There are a few reasons the NEXA-MAG crushed this test (pun intended):
In high-pressure environments where media failure isn’t an option, durability matters. Whether you’re on set, or on the move, the NEXA-MAG has you covered.
Of course, no one’s out there intentionally crushing their Mini-Mags under industrial presses. We get it — this isn’t exactly a real-world use case (unless your camera rig has a run-in with a forklift). But it does show how fragile the original design is when pushed even slightly beyond normal conditions — and how much stronger the NEXA-MAG is built for peace of mind.
It’s not just a better mag. It’s a tougher one.
