Has anyone settled on a carrying case for the HV10 that can hold it, a few tapes, a couple of batteries, and the charger?
BTW, speaking of the charger, I just received a charger I bought online for $25.95 incl. shipping: http://www.batterybarn.com/bp308.htm
The whole charger (it has no separate power transformer and plugs directly into a power outlet) is almost exactly the same size as the CA-570 charger that comes with the HV10, but since it is a standalone charger, it does not have to be plugged into the HV10. It also comes with a cigarette lighter adaptor and a European plug adaptor. It took about 2 hrs to charge a BP-315. This charger (or other, very similar looking chargers) is available from other sources, but I was very happy with BatteryBarn's service when I purchased their replacement for the BP-315.
The charger is made by CTA Digital Accessories (www.ctadigital.com)
