Charles, a better comparison would the the FFV Field PRO at the same price. The DVR Mini has a far easier user interface. - Pull down menus for Shot and Take lists to save time finding shots, with alphanumeric shot names to match slates. - Pull down menus for setup. See the screen shots on the web site. www.synccine.com - Auto record on camera run, with camera speed sensing, for auto playback at projection speed. - No multi button pressing. Very simple to use. -Solid mounted connectors. The time saved on set add up. Glenn Thinking it through further, could do a cut down steadycam version with no hard disk option or mixer and recase it to 1.2 " high , 4" wide and 6.5 " long Glenn

Hi Charles, I'm doing another front panel at the moment with the extra buttons and a CF socket at the bottom. The carbon-fiber style front is the same as the larger DVR. The Mini is approximately 4" wide, 2" high and 6" deep. 107 * 56 * 160 mm weighing ~ 500gm , 1 pound At 4:1 compression , a 8Gbyte card gives ~ 35 minutes of recording. But 10:1 with a film camera video assist gives fine pictures, and gives ~ 1 1/2 hours recording. Both units use the FFV Recon card. We're pricing the Mini at US$5500. It has the same options and software as the larger DVR. Can I supply any further information? Glenn
