Gates HVX200 and firestore.

Hi all,

Does anyone have any experience of trying to fit a firestore fs-100 into a Gates HVX200?

Is there any (enough) space?

Does the wiring fit?

Many thanks

Adam

No chance mate, I have that housing and there is no room left for anything once you stick the camera in there. Get yourself a couple of 64GB cards.

Cheers

Gates designed a mount for the citidisk for the HVX housings. It mounts the citidisk under the handle of the camera.

Looking at the size difference between them, it "might" work. I have emailed Gates to get a definite answer.

1.59" x 5.6" x 3.74" (40mm x 142mm x 95mm) for the firestore

3 x 5.6 x 1" (7.7 x 13.6 x 2.5cm) for the citidisk

Thanks guys-look forward to finding out!

I emailed John Ellerbrock, over at Gates, and he's not positive it will fit.

The citidisk is a pretty tight fit and the FS-100 is a little larger, which could cause issues.

Are you in the U.S.?

Gates is great about checking stuff out like this for customers. If there's a way you could send the unit to Gates, they could do some testing to see if it would actually fit.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your help. No, I'm in the UK!

I guess I'll find one and try it and see!

I'll let everyone know for information purposes.

Right guys!

I've tried it and it won't fit! Unless anyone has any good ideas on how to squeeze it in I think it is no go!

Anyone got a citidisk they aren't using?! It seems that 2x64gb p2 cards would cost more?

The HVX200 top handle comes off pretty easily, and I'd expect it will fit when removed. I'd build a shelf for it, though.
