Hi Folks, Ok, so I installed a better carbon microphone on my "Patriot" DR32 unit and it completely fixed the sound issue. I just stole the microphone from an old XBOX360 headset I had lying around. I'll post some videos tomorrow once I have both my units for side-by-side audio comparison. It...

It's unfortunate they didn't mention that when they shipped the unit. Transparency with consumers goes a long way. Not sure I will be purchasing from powerdigital898 again as they seem to just randomly ship different units with no way for the end consumer to tell which one they have!

I had the corrupt menu system as well with the CORRECT firmware posted in this thread. The only thing that fixed it was to use the Patriot firmware. It does work fine, but the audio issue is there. It looks like the audio issue is half hardware (crappy microphone part) and half firmware...

Yes, I did try that and still the same unfortunately. Anyone have access to the older firmware file?

Firmware update gone wrong Hi folks, long time lurker here. I recently took the plunge and purchased a DR32 from powerdigital898. I noticed I had the audio distortion issue on my video files so decided to update the firmware via the instructions in this thread. Now my menu is a complete mess of...

Wow! Thanks for the fast response! Looks like a great setup.

How large are the cameras on this unit? They look pretty big on the pictures.
