- More than I can review. ;)
The camera is sleek, looks great and works great.
Metallic housing makes it look strong and is strong but the bottoms are screwed to weak plastic housing inside.
One side of my unit just came off with the screw thread and pieces of plastic when I tried to insert microSD card.
Looked like the screws were over tightened against the brittle plastic for it to come apart like that.
I never even touched the screws nor pushed the bottoms any harder than what's needed to click microSD on the lock.
Once that happended, the other side's bottom also came out along with the screws and screw threads when inserting HDMI cable .
Now the whole thing inside moves up and down making it useless to carry around.
Maybe it's an issue on my unit but if it's a common issue, this camera needs stronger plastic or metal on the inside where bottoms screw on.
Since there is nothing for the screws to hold on as the plastic is not there anymore, how do I fix it?
Loctite or something to glue it permanently with the metal housing?
That removes option to replace battery later.
Thanks for suggestions.
