I don't think it is officially supported tbh

Me either. But it’s a pity that you don’t find any information.

I just bought an Angelbird 512gb CFeB card - for 130€, its a steal ( amazon ) 

Card is fast enough, to dump the SL3 buffer and keeps going without hiccups.

Card is fast enough to record in 4k ( I don't do 8k, no point for me ) without problems.

While there are other more expensive options ( Lexar, Sony Tough, etc ) which offers 1gb and 1,5gb WRITE speeds ( which is what matters - read speeds are nice but don't affect the performance of the camera per se, only when reviewing and editing from the card ) , Angelbird offers up to 850mb/sec write speeds and guarantee a 800mb/sec sustained write speed.

read speeds is pretty much like the others, offering 1.4gb/sec read speed.

so far, very happy with the card and ordered two more - bear in mind again, that I use the SL3 95% of the time for photos , not video.

little correction.

the 1TB card is faster and $199 on amazon

The 1 TB card option sustains a blazing-fast sustained write speed of 1300 MB/s, capable of capturing high-definition video and images in up to 12K+ RAW.

I wish that we had that option across the pond ( Europe )

1TB Angel Card is 354€. if it was 199, I would have bought it in a heartbeat. But sure thing, they seem very good value for money - very happy with my 512gb ones.
