An external Hard Disk Recording Unit with a 60GB capacity and 4.5 hours of recording time for HDV, DVCAM and DV.(battery is not supplied)

Lightweight and portable hard disk drive (HDD) recording unit. The HVR-DR60 is also easily connected to a compatible camcorder via its i.LINK interface, and offers videographers the ability to record onto both tape and the hard disk drive simultaneously - an ideal hybrid recording solution for your customers providing approximately 4.5 hours of continuous HDV, DVCAM, or DV stream recording. Utilizing a 14 second cache recording function, the HVR-DR60 can help prevent the loss of important scenes or events that occur 14 seconds before the camera's REC start button is pressed - a true life saver in stake-out and surveillance applications. Additionally, long operating hours are offered using the same camcorder batteries Sony HDV operators already have at hand. The HVR-DR60 uses the same infoLITHIUM L Series batteries as the HVR-V1U, HVR-Z1U, HVR-Z7U as well as the standard definition DSR-PD170 DVCAM camcorders. With the smallest capacity NP-F570 battery, the HVR-DR60 can run continuously up to 5.5 hours (330 min), and with the largest capacity NP-F970, this increases up to 18 hours (1080 min). Weighing a mere 8 ounces (without battery), the HVR-DR60 adds little weight for the cameraman to bear, while adding considerable functionality to his complement of high quality, Sony HDV acquisition tools.

•Uni-directional (Super Cardiod) Electret Condenser Shotgun Microphone,
Battery or Phantom Powered

The SGM-1X Professional Shotgun Microphone is designed to provide quality audio
for the videographer. It is ideal for today’s smaller, digital video cameras
where longer models would appear in the frame when camera mounted. The
hyper-directional super-cardioid shotgun microphone has a wide frequency response,
exhibits low noise and accepts up to 110dB SPL input levels. The 11.8" long microphone
uses a single “AAA” battery that will last over 1000 hours due to the mic’s extremely
low current drain. The low-impedance, XLR connectored SGM-1X ships complete with a
windscreen and Azden’s proprietary shock-mount holder that isolates camera motor
noise from the mic. The holder has provisions for both camera-shoe and mic-stand
mounting. Please click for more info
