I have the SpyTec A119 V2 and I am getting a rattling when going over bumps, even small ones. I even got a replacement Spytec model and it does the same thing.

If i hold the camera in hand and shake, I can also hear rattling. I was thinking it was something inside but the second replacement does the same. I tried holding the buttons down and shaking and still hear it.

Is this a common thing with the Spytec models vs official Viofo?

Please check out from :35 - :50 for example
Would prefer a better solution than ugly tape over the buttons, if that would be a fix. Looking to hear what you guys did to remedy this, I can't be the only one!

Tape over the buttons won't help if you still hear it in hand while holding buttons. It's only 4 small Phillips screws to open it - may be worth investigating.
 
It seems to have something to do with the buttons. Sitting at my desk, I can press a button. let go, and then hear something inside hit as I rotate the A119. After it hits, I have to shake the unit pretty hard to get the noise to happen again. Not very scientific, I know...
