Anyone have experience with this video field recorder? Looks to be more stable than either Firestore or CityDisk.

Thanks for any information.

Edit: DN60, not "DV60." My bad!

I use it with the Sony A1u and it has performed flawlessly right out of the box. Suggest you stick with Sandisk cards. Others seem to corrupt after a while.

Thanks for the quick response. I'll be using it with a Sony PD-150. Sounds like a winner based on your experiences.

If you mean their DN60 I've had some problems but they blame it on the card I'm using...I would definitely take Kent's advice and get a Sandisk brand card or they will not support it.

Thanks for the heads-up, Randy. Other than the card compatibility, no issues?

No sir, other than that I've been pretty happy with it. I use it with a Canon XHA1 and it will even record it's progressive mode.
I might also suggest Energizer rechargeable batteries...for me they last a lot longer than the dozen Pearstone I bought from B&H.
