So are you stuck with the time stamp on the footage?

alexlyons

i have a number 3 and can't seem to edit the time stamp. The instructions are impossible to comprehend fully! alternatively and preferably, i'd like to remove the stamp?!

Not sure if you can remove it other than with with a filter after recording.

Check post #223 for instructions for setting the correct time and date on the stamp.

cheers dude, read the first version of your post saying 225ish from the email, there's a good link that gives instructions for each camera in post 289, forgot to get a link.

Abelloid

Do you get subscribed posts via email, before the ninja edit? Must remember that...

alexlyons

ye, becuase I had just posted, I get an email about the next post, the instant its posted, which in this case was your one about post 355. However every single email I get like that says I won't get another email informing me of other posts until I visit the thread again, but if I leave it subscribed, I'll get random emails about some posts but not all of them.. a pain in the a*rse if you ask me!

I got three from here and also 3 x 4gb micro SD cards from Argos for €9 each.
All working perfectly so far.

I just got a delivery of two from 2009happyseller. They're #6s, which is supposedly a slightly inferior variant of the #3. Image quality still seems good though, and the LED is a bit brighter. They came in a magnetic-lid box, too, as opposed to the bubble-wrap that my #3s from buyincoins came in.

This eBay seller has cheap and cheerful adhesive Velcro, which I've purchased:

Posh packaging!

I see a good few sellers, to keep costs down, ship the various DVRs without cables or any extra fittings, just the bare camera. No boxes either, which makes your purchase surprising.

Saw a 4GB SDHC micro card (Class 4) in Tesco Clearwater for €9 last night.

Received a #3 yesterday, good quality picture for the money. The only problem is that the image is slightly inclined, I intend to take it apart and try to put the lens in the right position.
Apart from that, I'm a happy bunny (at least for a few days).

Some of them use silicone which you can easily push down into place, but some use a hard glue.

Will know for sure later today if it's possible to straighten it.

I see a seller on eBay selling one for £33.

Having a look through the thread, it seems 2009HappySeller seems to be the best bet when buying one. Might take a chance at it, have nothing else to buy anyway.

In his defense, I'd point out that his cameras come with 4Gb memory included, but still it's way over top.

Not only that, but he sold already 7 pieces at £33!!! Crazy!

Zascar

I say fair play to him. Enterprising!

Just got mind from 365digital.
Paid £4.41 and £0.97 shipping

It has the yellow time-stamp and works perfect. I've nothing to compare it to really (I'm not a video/photo geek) but for under £6 its a damn handy toy. I'm going to bring it on my walk of the El Camino del Rey next week

Sorry, I can't remember. I definitely did see it though, and I made a point of checking it was Class 4, with the intention of posting in this thread.

Bought an 8GB class 4 Kingston card from here. Just went for an 8GB card to be on the safe side, you wouldn't want to run out of space just when trying to capture a special moment. And the price difference between a 4Gb and an 8GB is very small.

Mine was the same. Fixed it.

Got mine today from http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/2009happyseller/ do not know which version but it works perfect.

Found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWU3ec4-p4c&feature=related very helpful.:)

Behind you Joey

New to the whole mini camera and was just wondering which version I should purchase? It is said the version #3 seems to be the best. So I'm looking at either;

What would people recommend? Thanks.

I think this is the cheapest for a #3. I got 3 of them and they all work fine.
