I pealed off the rubber pad on the bottom revealing the screws that secure the bottom plate. I'm making a metal plate to replace the rubber pad to be held on with slightly longer screws, compensate for it's additional thickness. The new bottom plate will feature a center mounted female quarter twenty.

Sounds perfect in my book Mark.

I just received my brand new Blackmagic Hyperdeck Studio 10-bit 4:2:2 uncompressed recorder. I connected it up to my FS100 HDMI output port to see the quality of video I could get. Sadly, the Hyperdeck won't recognize the HDMI out of the NEX cams. I called BMD customer support and they're looking into the problem.
If anyone else has this issue, I would hope you call Blackmagic. They won't address the problem until the next firmware update. The more people that call, the faster they will respond, I hope anyway.
edit: sorry for the confusion, but, this is with a Hyperdeck Shuttle...not a Hyperdeck Studio
Would the problem be 8-bit vs 10-bit?
I'm using HXR-NX5, have problem when connected to HDMI port but SDI work fine

Absolutely no! My nanoflash, which is 8-bit only, reads the signal just fine. The problem seems to be the hanshaking that is not happening between the FS100 and the Hyperdeck....a software problem.

Here is my rig in the moment. The solution for the Hypershuttle is not optimal yet, but I figured, when I shoot uncompressed, it´s unlikely that I need to go run & gun, so on a tripod it´s fine.
It´s pretty much a Frank-n-Stein (pun intended) rig - baseplate with v-lock for tripod plate is from Bescor - it "transformers" into a shoulder rig. I modified it, so I have the main wight balanced on the shoulder, like a proper ENG camera. Cage is from India (Cinecity) and the arm and monitor combination makes it possible to see what you get, while on the shoulder.

Following the experience of someone else who mounted the Hyperdeck, I peeled away the rubber pad and removed the four Hyperdeck baseplate screws. This allowed removal of the baseplate, which is nothing more than a thin aluminum plate. Using this plate as a template, I manufactured an identical plate out of 1/4 inch aluminum. Since it sits on the Hyperdeck in a recess, the apparent replacement plate is only 1/8 inch thick. This allowed me to incorporate some 3/16 x 20 tapped holes for mounting a rail block. I can now mount the Hyperdeck, either horizontally or vertically in the rails. Works great.

Funny how were spending time and money custom rigging a device we are not 100 percent sure will ever work with our FS100.

Exactly why I mounted it to my EX1. The thing about 15mm rail mounting systems is that once you've mounted it to a rail, it'll work on ANY 15mm rail. :beer:
>>> batt life - internal batt = ? hours power up
Around one hour when fully charge
>>> 12v external = what are you using ( if using anything atall)?
AC power supply included or 12V-18V DC input
>>> drive choices?
I'm using OCZ Vertex 3 240GB, it is work fine
Considering buy one Crucial C300 256GB for test
