The BOX-HVR was designed for the portable Sony hard disk recorder HVR-DR60 and is the counterpart to the Box-FS. As the factory-made attachment of the hard disk recorder on the camcorder grip can detract from its ease of operation, we have positioned the hard drive recorder under the camera in the box; in a similar fashion as the Box-FS. In this position the HVR-DR60 is perfectly protected from small every-day accidents.
The recorder display remains easily visible in the back. The drawer can be locked when “in use.” All of the recorder’s buttons are easily accessible in this position. If one wants to keep everything as compact as possible, the drawer can be pushed in completely.
The drawer in the HVR-DR60 also has space for an NPF battery to provide power supply. It is mounted behind the hard disk rather than in front of it in order to reduce the overall height. If an external power source is needed (using Coco, for example) there is a 7.2 V outlet.
If you choose to work without a tripod, you will find that the Box-HVR can be used as a support surface and simultaneously offers protection for the camera.
The topside of the Box-HVR contains a pin and a ¼” screw for attaching to the bottom of the camera. Just as in the case of a tripod plate, the screw has to be tightened in order to firmly fasten the Box-HVR beneath the camera. On the bottom of the Box there are two mounting points for a tripod plate (a hole and a ¼” thread), which allows it to be attached to any type of tripod.
