I have the Duel Adapter for my MacBookPro and it works well. It’s a little quirky with Leopard – It was hot-swappable under Tiger but sometimes I have to restart the computer in Leopard in order for it to recognize the adapter. It has been flawless though in reading the info on the cards in order to backup to a raid or hard drive.

Try P2 Content Management Software.

You can also just drag and drop but that doesn’t allow you to preview your footage.

Amen to the Marshall monitor. It is small and gives you a really good idea what you really are seeing. You can also modify the battery connection to match the batteries for your HVX-200. I haven’t seen the others so I can’t comment on them but for the price the Marshall is a good value.

Thanks for the heads up on this Lars. I’ve been in the buying mood to get more gadgets for my packages. I’ll hold off for now.

It does a great job transferring but I have had to restart the Mac before I insert the DA. I can transfer as many cards as I want but once I eject the DA, it will not recognize it unless I reboot. I did not have this problem in the last OS. It truly was hot-swappable. Does anyone know what the fix is for this?

You may have tried this already but if you have not deleted the data from the original P2 cards, try re-transferring them and seeing if that works. ESPECIALLY if you only transferred the contents folder and not the entire NO NAME P2 card. Copy the entire card over the the hard drive and then rename it to whatever fits your project.
Other than a glitch that happened in the transfer process, I’m not sure what you are running into.Best of luck

It looks like this works for the G4 with the PC slot. Does this work with a MacBook Pro and a Duel Adapter?

I have scrutinized all the documents I could find on it and it appears that the limit of two is for the much larger batteries. I think the HVX batteries are small enough to take a handful and still be under the limit in grams. I think we should just use common sense and bring bags for them so there is not threat of them shorting. As far as any damage to data on the P2 cards and raids are concerned – there is nothing to worry about. I’ve never heard of anyone losing data to the x-ray machines. I can remember when we used to have to do hand inspections with the changing tent and 30 rolls of film. Life has improved a little since then!

It seems pretty clear that they will not allow any Lithium Ion batteries in checked luggage but it is vague what the limit is for carry-on luggage. My understanding was the the limit of 2 was for the larger batteries. The HVX batteries I thought were considered small. I am getting ready for some travel soon so I guess I will find out for sure. I normally carry 4 batteries with each HVX-200 and then I carry 2 for my laptop and 2 for my still package plus 1 in my phone. That makes 9! Do they count the total or do they allow for each item? It is just not clear where they draw the line at this point. I’m not sure we will fully understand until we get some hard experience. I guess if you travel with enough people you can split them up. Any stories out there from folks who are fresh from a trip?

I have traveled all over the US and the world with this gear and not had any problems. It is a requirement to take the cameras out of the cases to go through security but that is no big deal. All the gear should be no problem. I used to get a lot of weird looks carrying multiple hard drives but I think they are getting used to it in this digital age. The biggest problem now is the batteries.

Keep in mind the London is among the worst airports. They hold to the single carry-on while most others don’t mind if you have a computer bag and another carry-on.
Best of luck and safe travels!
