Firestore

Anybody actually using the Firestore with the 900? Pluses/Minuses?

It works fine. No issues at all other then the less then rugged design of the firestore and the worry of the cables falling out. Its also rather awkward to find a place to put the thing a lot of the time.

Is it too heavy to velco on say… the back of a battery?

Does the Firestore FS-100 record from the HDX900 at the same 50 mbps DVCPRO HD LP bitrate as recorded to tape? I downloaded the manual for the FS-100, but it doesn’t mention anything about DVCPRO HD LP, just the 100 mbps DVCPRO HD and the 50 mbps DVCPRO 50 (plus the lower bitrates). Just curious how you set the Firestore to record from the HDX900…we’re considering buying one.

Thanks!
