Can't say I'm too pleased about it. i got one too, but haven't really tested it yet, guess I should oops. no, it is a koday play sport. what the difference is, dunno. Also got a new jib kit for the 31. A 23 panel modified radial cut. I love sewing, but the thing pretty much burned me out. It is, however, a work of art if I do say so

I guess yesterday they received it and saw that it was brand new, not a scratch on it, and they are going to replace the unit according to the email I got this morning.
No the button wouldn't work when the unit was outside the housing. Also the camera wouldn't switch modes unless I hit the front button like 4 times in a row to get off of video mode.

My first GoPro had some issues as well. It worked ok to start but developed issues within a week or 2. I was unable to get the unit to power up or off unless i removed the battery. And it's in there real tight. I solved this issue by losing the unit. The new unit works perfectly. Glad to hear they are going to replace it Tad. | | | Re: Christmas presents for sailors - what did you get?

As a sailmaker said, "it takes a real man to sew boat gear. The sewing is easy but cutting your own hand free and then cursing for 30 mins without repeating yourself after you sew your hand to a sail, takes a real man". I saw that once, I can confirm the cursing part but, I had to cut his hand free. I sucks to sew your hand to a sail, with your shears just out of reach.
Call me twisted but that last sentence made me laugh.
