On-site duplication

only if u can use a one button remote.

also removing the lcd and evf, by connecting the laptop, will make a lighter smaller camera with a remote monitor(other than the laptop one).

If you desire redundancy and speed then my solution is pretty good if I say so myself.

BTW you are right about raid 5 rebuild times, they are quite long, but you can still use the raid while it's rebuilding, oh and your data is still there. That's a good thing.

Seems to be a pretty solid solution for a full crew and if AC is available.

¿Quanta costa?

AC should not be an issue but if for some reason there is not power then the laptop is perfect for transferring your data for archiving and transporting to Editorial/DI/Post.

I completely agree that you should have at least 2 backups minimum. Especially if you have limited media. one on a RAID1 for onset storage and another for transport (Firewire drive - Gaid mini's are great).

For the nothing men i had 4 cf cards per camera(2), 8 total, shooting 30-40 mags per camera (cf cards suck if your shooting 2-3min takes), 380gig as the biggest day but averaging an easy 100gig/day per camera.

My advice is make copies and check them. And maybe even check that last good take that takes 5 hrs to setup and 5 mins to break down.
