In the process of getting my hands on my HVX
(looking at financing as an option).
Anyway I'm really look at the HVX as an SLR Camera
in that you remove ya media and dump. I know the memory
cards are cheaper for the SLR as well as the card reader.
***Now correct me if I'm wrong***
But IMHO the same rules would apply. What I have discovered
one can get the following:
An adapter from duel systems - http://www.duel-systemsadapters.com/?productid=DP-0001,
A $70 drive enclosure (that handles firewire 400) - http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Other%20World%20Computing/MOTGFW400/
Or A firelite drive - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/492714-REG/SmartDisk_FWFL160_160GB_FireLite_FireWire_400_Port able.html
With the hardrive you can either have several laptop drives to swap out for traveling (enclosure), or you can bill a firelite per project and just use it to dump
A 160gig drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148184
and I should be good as gold.
Lastly an additional laptop battery would be helpful
**Now keep in mind this setup is just to empty p2 cards... similar to when I'm shooting stills and my SD cards are full, I need a place to just dump the content captured. When I go home I would then transfer the footage else where for editing.
