Re: HDX900 and firewire

I agree with Ernie on the flakiness of the firewire connection with the firestore...it's a royal pain. However, we've been using it since last July. My camera assistant/audio checks it frequently during shoots to be sure it's running, (silly that we have to do that). We also always record to tape. We did lose a shot in the firestore once on a commercial shoot, but the tape saved us. One place I would never use the firestore is for "run and gun"/documentary stuff. There's no way to constantly check it, so for those type of shoots we record tape only. For controlled situations it's fine and makes the post process so much easier. I do use the double right angle firewire cable and also gaff tape it on both ends...proof that we live in a world of advanced technology.
