FireStore in the HEAT

[catawampus]

What experiances has anyone had with the firestore in extreame heat? I have been shooting in the tropics (90-100 degrees, radioactive sun) with p2 cards and so far it has been fine. I would like to use the firestore but i cant imagine it can handle that kind of heat all day long. Has anyone tried? Results?

Ben Balser has shot extensively in Louisiana

Haha Louisiana.... is that verification of "tropics" lol.

I shot with it in Belize with no issues. But you still have to use some common sense. I wouldn't expose anything to direct mid day sun. Use your head and your gear won't go dead!

I shoot in Florida and have no problems. Wouldn't call it extreme heat, though.

Where I am in south Louisiana is techincally in a real tropic zone. It's a kidney bean shaped zone over the Gulf of Mexico that comes up on southeast Louisiana at one end, and into a section of Florida at the other. I shot all last summer with the FS-100. No problems. I was careful to keep it in shade as much as I could. It holds up to the humidity really well, too.

Well, on my FS-4, the lcd on my firestore gets a lot of streaks on it and becomes unreadable when it gets hot. I have to keep it out of the sun, that is for sure.
