Any success - H1 with Firestore FS-4 HD (60i & 24F modes)? at DVinfo.net

Has anyone used the H1 with the Firestore FS-4 with the HDV upgrade?

I've used it somewhat successfully with the Z1 and the HD100 (24p & 30p) - varied success with the clips/playback (some are fine, some are sketchy, some are corrupt) - has been bulletproof with DV (PD150, DV500, DV550, etc). Using a Canopus Edius SP system.

I'm just asking, because it sounds like the 24F might throw a wrench at things with/without an external playback deck. Would like to see if anyone has tossed 1080 60i and the 24F footage into one of these.

I'm really leaning towards picking up an H1 now as well - just want to anticipate any/all pitfalls. If nothing else, I guess the camera becomes a deck (for a while). Also looking for backup (with tape as the ideal backup, and a hard drive filled with your shoot as foreup).

Thanks.
