Unborked thanks to the trust reset button

Mine arrived today, ordered on the day of the OP. However...

The lens doesn't clear the pin hole so I've got a black band at the top of my recordings. Will try hooking something in and pulling it down.

Nice effort on comic though

My initial tests are coming in at about 10 minutes per gig. Stationery, in low light. Need me a 4 gb asap.

Paramount · 22 Mar 2010 at 21:09

Ok fixed it, wedged it open with a blade, the cam is fixed in with glue but theres a little give.

My initial darkness tests are not coming back well, in fact I'd say this is almost useless in the dark. Looks like it'll be lights on for the voyeurs.

Bah, win7 (64) isn't recognising the camera at-all (and I'd like to to mod the date/time stamp), recording fine though

(I'm using a card reader to fetch data). Tried several cables.

Got mine today and realised it a #3

Still working out how to use it though lol

Still waiting for mine to arrive - got some balloons, some helium and some long balls of string.

I am going to take on Google Maps with mine

.....well, when it arrives!

As has already been mentioned, plug the cam in and navigate to the root folder, drop the tag.txt file there, then unplug, power off and back on again.
You will know if it has worked as the tag.txt file will disappear from the root folder.

When you say 'ROOT' folder, it seems like mine doesn't have one. I just formatted the card and off I go.

Thats all mine says at the moment but its still charging so I can't properly test it yet.

What OS are you using dude?. I ask as I'm having trouble with win7 recognising the device in any capactity.

So where are you getting your Micro SDs?

Some HK suppliers on eBay are saying class 6 8GB - how true do you think this is?

Jacob (: · 22 Mar 2010 at 23:43

Depends on the seller i guess. Cheapest reputable seller price for class 4 8gb ive seen is 10.50 and 6.29 for 4gb D:

Not too hard, (on the #3)

(with USB port at the botton)

The 2 buttons on the right are fake and do nothing.
The right button you hold to turn it on (goes solid yellow)
Press the left button once to take a pic (it will flash once)
Press the left button down for a couple of seconds and it will blink 3 times, this means its started recording.
Hold the power button again to stop recording

Not too sure if you are supposed to turn it off to stop recording but it has worked every time for me

Edit - How much has the seller made from this forum do you think? I reckon at least 100 people have bought one then anyone who searches google for it will no doubt direct to this thread

If people are starting to receive these, where is all the cool experimental footage!?!
