Mounting DR-HD100 to the camera...How?
 

Hey guys, so I have an IDX battery on my 110u, and I just got the harddrive, the IDX kit came with something for the harddrive as well, a little connector so that the battery powers the harddrive. I know there is a way of attaching the harddrive to the battery but I can't figure out how. Can someone tell me please or link me to some pictures or something, it's not in any of the manuals (or is it and I am missing it?), or do I need to by something for it?? Thanks!

IDX has a bracket for it, but I personally use 3 wide strips of velcro, and that works just fine to attach the DR-HD100 to my IDX battery.

Hello
IDX has a mount for the DR-100
I got mine at B&H in NY
It cost about $105.00
Hope that this Helps

i just screwed it down on the battery mount, there's a hole inside the dr-hd100 plastic holder. With just one screw it's okay but there's a little play. Working like a charm.

Cool guys, I think I'm gonna try that velcro idea first, sounds easy, logical and cheap!

Velcro works like a charm!

Pro Visual in Brisbane, Australia make a really well designed bracket that mounts the hard drive and battery (Anton or V lock) to the back of the camera but at 90º to its traditonal position. This puts the hard drive conveniently on the same viewing plane as the camera's LCD screen and just behind it.

There's another thread on here where I posted a picture of the one I made. If you have a dremel, then the total cost is less than $10 and works great.
