The Thrilla in Manilla - AVC on the go

Just getting back from Manilla.

Just wanted to tell you guys how well my little set-up performed.

2x - 15 inch MBP 2.5 / ram 4g - otherwise all stock
2x - HMC150 w/hard cases
2x - Smart disk FW drives 500gigs
1x - Home made steady cam
2x - gitzo mono and 2 fluid head tripods
14x - 16gig sdhc class6

For the editing portion, i had fcs2 and clipwrap (didn't use it but once) Viewed the dailies on the cam.

I could have done anything i wanted with this set up but the FW HDD did seem a bit slow. So i use the internal to see what i could do. SMOOTH SAILING there. 720p60

I just want to tell everybody that AVC Cams, 1tb of storage and a MBP is all your gonna need in the field to edit. I didn't have any reliable external monitor but i didn't have to edit on-location either. I only off loaded 35gigs and realized that if i can see them on the cam then i could just use the sdhc as the storage. NO HICK-UPs

LOVED THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. Manilla is kinda well used but nice. Next stop South Africa in September.
