Repeating question

Where to buy in NY

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,

Yesterday BH told me they finally shipped my camera her to Brazil. Saddly they dont have USB on the go, and they are the only store I know that ships to Brazil. But a friend of mine is going to NY next month, so if anyone could please, tell me some adresses there, where he could buy that enclosure, it would be much apreciated.

advices on the best enclosures and hard drives for this purpose are also welcomed.

Thanks,

Pedro

exactly!....when they actually exist. does anyone have any more details on the focus from firestore? they keep saying end of march. i've got my fingers crossed as we are going aheaad with some shoot days in april and if the firestore isn't available, i'll just have to use a very long firewire cable gaffer taped to my laptop!

testing all this next week...firewire cable to laptop/desktop etc. the directo to computer/harddrive obviously works but probably most sensible to get a really decent harddrive....ie. firewire 800 compatible. am i right?

thanks for all the questions and answers....for a non-tech person like myself this is invaluable.

Usb on the go on ebay.

are any of you guys using this generic usb on the selling on ebay. There are some from hong kong that are really cheap. And also some from the US. The feedback from the buyers are very positive. I'm only regarding this option because the mwave can´t be shipped to Brazil and this itens can.

Any opinions are welcome.

I read somewhere that 2.5" notebook drives have like 5x the shock protection. may be worth the extra bucks to have a secure drive. I know my hd footage is worth it.

I´m not talking about the hard drive, I'm talking about the enclosure.
