battery powered USB O-T-G drive ?

[4mat]

I'm looking for a reasonably priced battery powered USB O-T-G drive preferably retailed in the UK or europe.
Any suggestions ?

I have found this at £149 www.amazon.co.uk/iRiver-PMP-120-Dis...1_8/202-6780776-1926267?ie=UTF8&s=electronics

Don't know about UK availability, but this model works well and is inexpensive... perhaps they have a UK distributor?

Cheers jim,
I found a similar caddy in the uk www.figlabs.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/56

Also found a 2.5 firewire drive caddy all I need now is portable 5v power supply www.allcam.biz/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=131

Perhaps I can take the recargable battery from the usb drive on use it with the firewire drive hhhmmm I spot a gap in the market.

I have used mine for about 9 months and it works a treat. Includes a hard drive as well in the price.

Recommended.

It's just a bit invisible, but is very versitile.

Cheers for the recommendations guys
Can you tell me step by step what you need to do to dump using OTG ?
I've never used it before and can't find anything in the instructions for the HVX.
Cheers.

Put the HVX in USB Device mode (change the menu item to USB Device, then go to MCR mode, then hold the button down).

Plug in the USB-On-The-Go drive using the appropriate mini-A to mini-B cable.

Press the button on the drive. It will automatically start transferring footage.

Also to add to Barrys comments, it takes 7mins 45 secs to copy across a 4 gig card, so time it from when you press the button on the OTG. That way after 8 mns you know the job is done and you won't spend nearly 8 minutes watching the green flashing light next to the P2 card on the HVX.

but make sure the light has stopped flashing before you disconnect, because there is no way of checking the content is there until you go to transfer it off.

OK, so I've posted this link a few times before but here it is again. A 5V power supply for 2.5 external hard disks. I use a firewire external drive as its faster and you have the option to verify as well.

Not very elegant but does the job cheaply.
