You have to be a moron to put it in at an angle.

[FranksTechHelp]

@Comp1337e You gotta put it in at an angle if you wanna get the "G" spot homie! ;)

[Biotektan]

Oh wow, you are such a pro, you magnetised the tip of your knife to get the screws out..

[C9Zazzle]

you said its supposed to make a click sound when it goes in? Mine doesnt really have a point of resistance, the card stays put, but I dont know how far its supposed to be in

hmm

thanks for all the md80 vids!

[milmacrose]

@C9Zazzle It should go in all the way: if the card sticks out AT ALL beyond the case, it's not in far enough.

[andrewwright99999]

Many thanks for that video as I will make sure I watch for that when mine arrives .

What about the battery? It is suppost to run 2 hours on a charge. One year later and it only runs 35 minutes. Think there is any way to find a replacement?

[PharaoRamsesII]

@Digitalmanne you could assemble another 1s Lipo by soldering it to the contacts where the original battery is.

hi i got a prolblem i have an micro sd card and a adabter but my laptop cant read it do you know some (free :P) software for a micro sd card driver or something not hardware but software?

[FranksTechHelp]

@fineststyles Does your card show up at all when you plug it into your laptop? This sounds like a hardware issue instead of software. Your card should show up when you plug it in. Let me know.

[fineststyles]

@FranksTechHelp yes it shows up but f i click on it, i got an 2 gb version, it shows only the adabter if i click it says i got 0.0 gb on the disk

[FranksTechHelp]

@fineststyles Okay so to clarify here. You remove the card from the camera, put it into the adapter and plug it into your computer and then you get the error where you can see the adapter but not the 2GB card, right? If this is the case then it sounds like a bad SD Card. BUT, If you are leaving the card in the camera and plugging the usb cable into your computer and it doesn't show up then it's the cable and you should use a different cable. Let me know which is true here.

[fineststyles]

@FranksTechHelp ok it helped a lot

[stickfiguresmaster]

@FranksTechHelp how to remove screws like its magic follow these steps 1 counter 1 glue stick (not a glue bottle) 1 piece of tape (duct tape) 1 device with any type screw such as what you showed in the video 1 red and and blue square sided magnet like a horseshoe rub the stick of glue on a table surface place the item that has screws on the glue have the duct tape placed over the item with screws keeping it shut now use the red and blue magnet and hold it anti clockwise and screws are magnitized

[Thejapsrcoming]

Damn Rambo...didn`t have an eyeglass screwdriver?haha

[FranksTechHelp]

@Thejapsrcoming Konnichiwa, I prefer MacGyver but yeah, out of all that crap, not one tiny screwdriver. lol

[LigerZero1985]

how is the sound quality of the builtin microphone?

is it possible to hot wire it to a better microphone?

[FranksTechHelp]

@LigerZero1985 The sound quality is pretty good but horrible in windy weather. I'm sure you could hot wire a new mic or input jack but haven't dug that deep yet. Planning on some new mod videos for this unit in the nearby future.

[blade83336]

what type of cam r u usin to record your youtube videos frank?

[FranksTechHelp]

@blade83336 I'm using a Canon HG10 HD, you can see a review of it on my channel. I picked it up as a refurb for around $400 and love it.

[FranksTechHelp]

@latinflavor081 The picture quality mainly depends on the quality of the SD card you are using. Name brand cards work much better for quality then cheap off brand sd cards.

[ashley118118]

i had the same problem 1st day with mine

[daverkl]

Hi. Thanks for the videos. I got my mini camera yesterday. It's been charging now for over 10 hours but the blue light is still flashing. IF the battery is no good (I'll find out soon), does it look easy to replace the battery?

Thanks,

daverkl

[FranksTechHelp]

@daverkl If you can get your hands on the battery then yes it looks easy, just need to match it.

[daverkl]

@FranksTechHelp Thanks for the help.

[SQT81R]

@daverkl try to recharge it with another cable, it happen the same with me , the cable that cames with the camera dosn´t recharge the camera , by using another cable it takes two hours to fully recharge the camera and then the lights will stop flashing and turn red ;)

[daverkl]

@SQT81R Thanks. I'll give it a go.

[maller121]

Thanks!

[vent25kn]

Just received mine. The power button does not work, i have to connect it to USB to turn it on and the image is a lot too much blurry when i move the camera. So bad because i wanted to use it as a sport camera, i think it's not going to be possible.

[FranksTechHelp]

@vent25kn Make sure you charge it for at least 8 hours the first few times. The power button may not work if the battery is not charged. Otherwise you may have a bad battery, or defective unit.

[vent25kn]

@FranksTechHelp i charged it for 2 hours at the first time. I just plugged it back and i'll wait until the light stops flashing. Thanks for the advice.

[SQT81R]

@vent25kn hello, to recharge the camera use another cable insted of the original, about the blur my camera makes the blur only in weak light conditions.

[gloomilyeuphoric]

@vent25kn I'm pretty sure that the blurry picture when moving the camera is because of the SD card. What size do you have in it? I had the same issue because I used the SD card that was sold with it, which was a nameless brand 1gig. I put a 2 gig SanDisk in and had no problems at all with the picture or frame-rate.

[Moey2007]

Hi, great vid...! I've just ordered one of these too, so i'll remember this for reference... just one question, does this cam have an option to record High Speed Video? Thanks!

[FranksTechHelp]

@Moey2007 There is no high speed but you get better quality with a name brand sd card, so I would go that route.

[E5D7S]

Thanks for the video. I've just bought this thing and now I've found some of your videos. I'm going to watch them before I start using my cam :)

[xanterone]

Thank you.

[kristiaand]
