Focus Enhancements FS-3 Overview

The Focus Enhancements FireStore FS-3 digital video disk recorder allows videographers to easily record camera video directly to a hard drive, eliminating the need to later capture the video into a computer. Once video has been shot, you can easily connect the FireStore FS-3 to a computer and, with the FireStore's "Direct to Edit" technology, have instant access to the video from within your editing system.

Note: Specifically designed for use with video camcorders that feature a PAG Battery System.

Capture Video Easily and Quickly
The FS-3 mounts directly to your digital video camera, allowing you to transfer your video right to the hard drive. The drives are swappable, and you can record hours of video with ease.
Video is "Edit Ready"
Because the FS-3 saves your video in a nonlinear editing file format, when you connect the drive to your computer, you're ready to go. No need to recapture or render video, just drag and drop or simply load the video files into your editing software directly from the drive.
Daisy-Chain Drives
Not only can you swap drives with the FS-3, but also daisy-chain up to four drives at once. This allows you to save time and add gigabytes worth of storage for your digital video shoot.
Shock Protection Buffer for Safe Capture
No need to worry about losing your video from shot to disk. The FireStore has a special shock cache and internal shock gasket specifically built to protect your video and keep it safe!
