Hey newschoolers, just a quick question, i have a Gopro and so far i've been hauling my laptop with me every trip i do or everywhere i film,

now this summer i'm doing some trekking in the alps and i need something lightweight, preferably battery powered, card-reader thingy where i can put all my footage on, clear my card and maybe even preview the footage on a small display...

can anyone tell me what i am exactly looking for or maybe even advice me one of these devices ?

thanx alot!

Sparknotes:

i need a mobile storage device
enough for like 2weeks filming 200gig or something ?
preferably with a small preview display
and battery powered or if this doesn't exists net-powered

what am i looking for ?

why don't you just get more SD cards and dump them when you get back home? probably your easiest and cheapest solution...

sort of like an external hd that u can dump cards onto?

only that way you have no way of knowing if it works and everything

id say netbook, 160 gb harddrive is standard, and they are like under $300

i use one for school fb and ns

i'm going to bump this, i will be in a similar situation soon
it seems like a bunch of sd cards might be the way to go though
