Anyone use DR-DV5000 on another brand camcoder?
like panasonic DVC100

The DR-DV5000 is simply a rebranded FS-3. Operational differences? Compatibility issues? I wonder. Sure seems like there wouldn't be any at all. Matt?

Hello,

DR-DV5000 was designed to be used with the JVC GY-DV5000, -5001 and -5100 series camcorders. It has some unique features specifically for this camcorder including camcorder viewfinder status, different control modes and cable-less operation. It can be used with any DV device however.

Hope that helps,

Matt

I own a jvc GY-dv5000 with a firestore DR-DV5000 everything powers up the drive information is sent to the camera how ever when I press record either on the camera or the firestore the tally light comes on but nothing records the counters don't move at all any suggestions on the problem? I did try the internal HDD in a different DR-5000 and it did record to it this one was attached to a gy-5100 are there any setting I need to change in the camera ?
