In Phase 7…
• First is to prepare a stable platform to attach the S.H.O. Drive.
• Second is to arrange a place outside to run an extended duration test.
• Third is to the connect a portable power supply to run the camcorder outdoors for an extended period of time (several hours).
• Fourth is to run an outdoor extended duration test.
