not needed.. just use common sticks. If you need an external sync your gonna be spending more money than your camera costs.

Jarred is absolutely right. External sync is only necessary when you use a non-digital recording source.

You can you use a laptop, DAT, CD burner, portable mindisc or any other digital source and just use sticks.

If you use an old nagra other analog device, then you will need sync...
