Construction note:

Your Samurai is designed to operate in ambient temperatures up to

40°C/105°F. It features a fanless design which dissipates internal heat

through the aluminium chassis.

If you wish to extend the temperature of operation in high temperature

conditions, you can choose an SSD drive, and set the TFT brightness to

a minimum.

The top and bottom aluminium surfaces next to the tripod screws

are the heat sinks. Under warm or extended operating conditions, these

surfaces may get hot to the touch. This is normal part of the design, and

shows that your Samurai is dissipating heat successfully.

Do not be alarmed if the top and bottom surfaces seem hot to touch.

This is normal part of the design, and shows that your Samurai is

dissipating heat successfully.

SSD/HDD usage:

With spinning drives, you need to be careful in handling when recording.

The drives will generally stand light/medium occasional bumps without

problems, and the Samurai has an anti-shock buffer. However, spinning

drives are not suitable for use in high vibration or movement environments,

for example if the Samurai is strapped to the side of a motor bike.

With spinning hard drives, use a new drive, or one that has very little usage.

Do not use old drives. Do not use drives that have been dropped.

On all drives, when handling, keep ﬁngers away from the SATA connector

at all times, as static electricity can damage the electronics inside.
