    It's a bit like storing "odd's and End's" in the garage thinking "one day that will be needed".?

    Well I bought this an Action Cam 3 HD 720P - please see the picture below.

    A bargain @ £55 on AMAZON but the "Daily Deal" at £35 was too tempting. I had been looking at this sort of Cam for a while.

    I read the reviews and the very negative aspects of downloading and playing the Video on PC... I am MAC so I am always wary.

    Any road up - it arrived.
    Firm strong feel not unlike a Maglite.

    Came without SD card so unable to use upon arrival. I read the destructions which stated a 32 Gig card could be used. I checked the "item description" on Amazon and the WWW for the correct size SD and they stated 16Gig. ???

    I rang the importer. Lovely Lady gave me great assistance and said "What colour Box is it"? I bit my lip... and replied Black.. she kept me hanging on and came back twice saying "SORRY" so sorry to keep you. Then "Oh you got the new one, the "Black Box" and that will take 32Gig... Teehehe I have learned something to-day.She said.
    (Me also I thought) :)

    I ordered a Sandisk Ultra 32GB Class 10 Micro SD Card with SD Adapter
    RRP: £58.12
    Price:£17.40 inc P&P... on Amazon.

    Better and better I thought...

    The Card arrived and I tested the Cam.. Video was excellent BUT NO sound.

    I sent eMail to support and the guy replied with the instructions on "new" software download within 15 minutes.
    Astounding = enthusiasts running their own Company.

    My "Black Box" 32Gig is now £99 RRP. Excluding SD card.

    It will be used for PI walks and open market shopping trips, etc., for the athmosphere.?

    Cannot recall when a purchace has exceeded expectations like this has.

    Happy boy,

    Tom

    Looks like a torch ;)

    The ones on amazon look like you are supposed to wear them on your hat, or maybe 'arrrr Jim lad' style on your shoulder :D
