Hook up your iPod as a recording device for DV or HDV cameras with the
Bella Catapult. The sub-$300 Catapult, slated to ship later this year,
connects to the camera via FireWire, and to a disk drive such as the
iPod (or some other 2.5-inch HDD) via USB 2.0. It’s unclear how
economical this really is — can’t a shooter of even modest means do
better than a $400 60 GB MP3 player for raw storage? — but there’s no
denying the cool factor of anything that touches the iPod. Features
include time-lapse recording, remote-triggering via a switch or motion
detector, and a pre-record feature that records continuously to the
disk so you get some time to hit that record button without missing an
action shot.
