Blackmagic Design HyperDeck Studio HD Mini

A nice little recorder/player for my portable video rigg. The audio and video quality is good and in line with my cheap consumer cameras. I'm running it in 1080p with no problems. The cooling fan inside is a little bit loud but not as noisy as many other BMD products. Be aware that this product is tricky to use when it comes to play content created on other platforms. The quality of the internal software is not in line with my expectations, especially when it comes to playback mp4. I cannot make it work. Control functions on the panel are rather rudimentary. Remote control via LAN is a good feature. Despite the software issues I'm happy with the product, but this is not a real plug n' play solution. You probably need to find a couple of work arounds regarding video formats to be happy.
