I am sure this unit might work for some people but i didn’t get any joy myself. March 23rd, I hooked the device up to my GL2 and recorded about an hour of footage – first thing I noticed is when I hit record with my GL2 with a tape in the citidiso, the citidisk did nothing – I had to manually hit the record button on the back – again a small issue that I figured was firmware which it was.
In DV mode there’s no problem. Is an added attachment needed to do this, or is the mount on the citidisk somewhat universal for these type of batteries?
How does it support the pyro drive? Or maybe I’m missing something.

I then tried this with the tape in the unit. Considering I still shoot a ton of DV. And since FireWire seems to be such a standard for video, it feels quite familiar. The company was very helpful and i got the unit in two days from payment from taiwan. And which do you like better, the pyro or the FS-4, and why? But, I find this no problem, for I anyhow convert the m2t files to Cineform avi-files, and this works out just fine.
I recorded about an hour, used the play back feature from the back of the citidisk very very lacking design and saw my clips. You have entered an incorrect email address! This mode saves you from having to convert your video in the editing stage. I checked the firmware.

Record to hard disk at the touch of button, and create video files for immediate use in your NLE. The FS-4 is otherwise citidiwk, but it’s bit large, and also, the external power has to be at least 12 V.
Maybe in a few years they will have something there – but for me it looks like its time to try out a firestore fs Second, the timecode is not transferred to the hard disk.
I originally was going to use this to save the heads of the camera and to be able to quick edit things.
Lauri, you mention that you’re using the citidisk with your Canon XLH1 batteries. By the looks of it, the movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind may have influenced some key design decisions. The dropped files were short and not playable at all.
February 21st, I lined it with a nonslip rubber so the drive fit cittidisk perfectly and the battery I made layed on top of it. I formatted the disk and again tested. I tried every file format and finally found that. The first file in the recording worked perfectly – the next one matched up perfectly and it worked seamlessly with the first, however the 2nd file showed it was 18 minutes long – when the first 9 minutes were up, the file became corrupt – it was showing more time then it actually had.

Adorama New York, NY. Packed inside this 10 ounce device is a GB shock-mounted laptop hard drive, a FireWire bus, and a rechargeable battery.
CitiDISK chops long footages into smaller parts, and each part is just fine. February 16th, I have 3 ADS pryo drives, same as the hhdv.

I actually upgraded them from the orginial 30gb drives to 80gb drives. It’s a pity that these devices have their shortcomings. Mine is the DV only model. Maybe it’s the HDV model.
Precision Camera Austin, TX. Out of the ten various length shots i took. It takes up 7. February 20th, I record about an hour of footage no problem, sync to hdb computer, copy the footage down and begin placing them on the time line and then I notice there are random clips of just mosaic noise, and then with the clips that do work, every few of them has a weird humming noise in it which I never experience.
Canon expected to release at ictidisk one more generation of DSLRs. FireWire Sustained Data Rate: The box was mounted to the camer using a thumbscrew and to the quick release by gorilla gluing I love that stuff a nut to a predrilled hole and just screwing the quick release in place – it worked well! The time now is I am glad they did or i would have been out of pocket for a fitidisk that was close to useless for myself. It was the latest.
