Sound Devices knows about this and there is no workaround. I therefore pop the card out and put it into a FireWire 800 CF card reader. Fast and easy! @Michael: As a photographer, I've got tripods to spare, plus I find adjustable-length legs way more stable in uneven terrain. Plus, they can be way lighter than mic stands! @Sam: Those are Garfield Softies. They rock. Bought em atB&H, but you can find em at plenty of places! @Lawrence: I had no problems plugging my 702 directly to my computer until MacOS X 10.6, which causes the CF card to not mount.

I have the MDR-V6's and am thinking of getting the pearstone earpads. Those look different - a little more plush. What are those pads on the headphones?

Curious, why do some many folks prefer tripods instead of mic stands? Just more stability? M. Hey,

I am surprised how you managed to obtain such a clean recording, especially given the number of other members present with their gear and vehicles seen in your video. As an aside: considering the frailness of the 702 firewire port (I've recently had to return mine for a blown firewire controller IC under warranty), I am interested in the file storage and transfer method you use with your 702. Do you use the rear CF card and later removal, a permanently plugged firewire CF card reader/writer, a permanently plugged external RAM drive, or just post-record firewire cable link between 702 and computer? Best regards Hi Nathan, That is a lovely recording.
