MAKE BETTER SWITCHES! All of these worked so well until the weakest link ... their cheap a** switches fail. Ironically because it's always ONE that has to be hit 2-4 times simply to turn the F-on (sorry. really annoying). Oh, not due to fumbling but DESIGN. "Must power up. Light will flash. Press again for 3 seconds to begin recording. Press again for 3 seconds to stop recording. Note: THREE SECONDS, Mo-Fo! We ain't kidding! 2.8, 2.90009, 3.0000001, 2 or 4 and the whole thing will pause, letting you stand there wondering WTF before blanking out. Repeat."

Each one of these were still functioning technology, cut off at the knees due to POOR SWITCHES. Race cars w/retreads. What's the point with such a failure ticking time bomb? Could I rewire them? Perhaps. But I refuse to go back fixing the failures of others ... all were cheap models, not worth the muttering curses and Get What You Pay For lesson.

Disclaimers: Remote protected area. Firearms trained. Memory cards, batteries removed x #3 which escaped the main damage. Disposed of properly or stored for remaining pieces including lenses ... which is really a shame, too. We're smart monkeys and those are good tools but akin to hammers with cheap weak handles.

huff, huff.
