Firestore Software Upgrade
This was posted recently on the Focus Enhancements web site:
“FS-100 Software v3.0 Upgrade Available Now
FS-100 v3.0 software adds native DVCPRO HD 720/24p, 25p and 30p recording which more than doubles record time.”I think it costs $49.

Would rather not pay the $39 bucks, sure, but I don’t have a problem with it on something like this, if, and a big if there is more then just fixes to the upgrade and on this one there is, and it is HUGE! I sure they have hours of programing on this and I want to support a company that is really aggressive in trying to make their product better. We are all trying to make a buck and I you don’t have to upgrade. Just me two cents + $39 + plus shipping and handling 🙂

[msacci] “trying to make their product better”
I do not know how the unit looked at the beginning… maybe now it is better then before but I just bought it and really surprised how such thing can cost more then 2000 euro. Yes I know that it is something which allow me to record my HD directly to disk and much longer then P2 card. I am talking about the quality of the construction and material. It looks like cheap china toy.
– screen on my FS100 is little rotated contraclockwise and shifted up that I can not see whole first line but only half of it. letters and digits on the display is like from the horror movie. even cheapest mp3 players have much better design of the menu and font.
– Front plastic panel is not presizely lying on the device body and if i look from the side it is like wave. I can imagine how much dirt and dust i will get there on the field.
– Battery compartment is like somebody made it just with knife.
– Also I heard that camera mount is horrible and glad i did not buy it.Again I would like to say that I am suttisfied with how it works but badly frustrated with the look of it and quality of construction. For more then 2000 euro i was expecting something more aesthetic.

I will say the camera mount SUCKS. The main part is a bogen piece and it will not stay put at all I have to tape it down so it does not swing around. Maybe mine is defective but I don’t know how anyone would be happy with it.I thought the unit was okay in the design and construction the price $2000 US, I guess I’m not the most critical person when it comes to stuff let this, I just want it to do what I bought it for.
