Shooting a documentary on the HVX200, new user... Firestore question

[SaintDemure]

I will be shooting a documentary in Taiwan next month and I am new to the HVX200.
I will receive the camera in a couple weeks to familiarize myself with it.
My question is, what type of Firestore would you recommend I use?
I see different types and sizes, but I wasn't sure which ones I should consider.

Thank you!

I wouldn't use a FireStore unless P2 was absolutely not an option. With P2 64GB cards you can get about three hours of footage per card, so the need for a FireStore is pretty much long past.

With that said, if you absolutely must use a FireStore, the only one to use is the one that is made specifically for the HVX. You need the FS-100 (or FS-160). Don't try to use something like the FS-4, because that will only work in standard-def DV mode.

Barry speaks the truth. Remember he literally wrote the book on this cam.

If you can't buy P2 cards then rent them. www.p2rents.com has great service and prices.
