Last year we called the GNARBOX “Filmmaking’s biggest innovation yet“, because it refined a filmmaker’s post-production process so drastically and so efficiently, you could call it textbook groundbreaking. Like, being able to edit RAW images and 4K video on your smartphone groundbreaking. The GNARBOX would store all your captured data on its disk in its original format, letting you access files from a smartphone or tablet app, sorting, editing, and creating content within the GNARBOX… from your handheld device. It would cut down the time taken in the creative process by days or even months, because you’d previously need to capture data on site, and then travel back to your studio to sort through and edit files on your desktop back in your studio.
The GNARBOX 2.0 is a refinement of that groundbreaking outlook. A 1TB SSD that’s literally the size of your phone, the GNARBOX 2.0 stores and secures all your content from phones to drones, to action cameras and heavy-duty photography and videography equipment. Built now with a handy screen and four control buttons, the GNARBOX 2.0 lets you back up all your data faster than ever before (with 75mb/s speeds over SD card and 450mb/s over USB-C) and even lets you view back your content on a large screen via the mini-HDMI port.
The idea behind the GNARBOX 2.0 is the same as its predecessor, albeit with better chops. It lets you capture heavyweight professional visual content, but access them on a lightweight go-to device, instead of waiting weeks before you have access to your desktop and the specialist software. With its set of apps that let you backup and recall, categorize, edit and manage metadata, review and edit footage on the go, letting you be on top of your creative process and transition from production to post-production in literally an instant. Built with its own set of mobile apps as well as compatibility with Lightroom CC and LumaFusion, the GNARBOX 2.0 empowers you as a creative, allowing you to work on your projects whenever inspiration strike, empowers your business and brand, by giving you the tools to speed up your workflow by eliminating the need to sit in front of a desktop (and transfer all those heavy files) before you can begin creating magic. Filmmaking’s biggest innovation yet isn’t about making better cameras, workstations, or adopting faster industry standards… It’s about rethinking, redesigning and optimizing the creative workflow to empower creatives to work faster and more efficiently.
GNARBOX 2.0 SSD is a rugged backup device for content creators who prefer to travel without a laptop. Unlike other portable hard drives, they have assembled an ecosystem of mobile applications that serve the professional workflow from the field to the studio.

Gnarbox broke new ground in portable storage with its first drive, which let pros start editing photos and videos before they've reached a PC. But what if you still want something more powerful? Don't worry, you're covered: the company is crowdfund...
The Gnarbox as a product is EXACTLY what you’d expect from the crowdfunding community. It’s an incredibly versatile product that solves a concrete consumer problem beautifully. You don’t see large companies making products like these because companies seldom see through the eyes of the consumer. The Gnarbox comes from that niche place that does, making it an absolute winner of a product, and something that potentially changes the landscape of cinematography.
So what exactly is the Gnarbox? Think of it as your all-in-one solution to pretty much every photography/videography and editing woe. This rugged device allows you to store every image and video you capture in full resolution (RAW and 4K) to a single rugged disk. DSLR? GoPro? Drone? Phone? All your media content gets integrated and sorted beautifully into one single device. However, that’s not the magical bit… because the Gnarbox isn’t a hard-drive. It’s a remote computer. With the Gnarbox, you can immediately and professionally edit photos AND videos on the go… without a laptop. The Gnarbox pairs with a mobile app to allow you to edit your content, creating slideshows and elaborate movies even, on your smartphone/tablet! Before you scoff and ask me where one would get the computing power to work with RAW images and 4K video on your phone, let me tell you that the Gnarbox comes beefed up with a quad-core GPU and RAM. This means you can edit full-resolution media on your phone or tablet, remotely, while all the magic happens within the Gnarbox. The app comes with all professional features, allowing you to make incredibly complex videos and show-reels using footage directly from your photo/video capturing device. You can even share the content in its full-resolution glory with other people, all through your phone! Think about it. We may one day be making/editing Oscar-winning movies and documentaries… completely on our phones.
An absolute god-sent for traveling photographers and filmmakers, the Gnarbox does three incredible things. It securely stores all your data from all your devices in one single place. It eliminates the need to carry your laptop with you to edit insanely heavy files. Lastly, as a creative, it allows you to instantly work on your projects, saving crucial time while also making sure you can easily begin creating content as soon as inspiration strikes!
