Yesterday I had my wife pick up some more of the industrial strength Velcro, as I wanted to try mounting the camera on the brim of my hat. She did, a four foot pack cost almost $15, ouch, That's almost as much as the camera plus memory cost me.
If there is anyone out there who just needs a few inches of this stuff, and doesn't want to spend that much, just to have a bunch left over, send me a stamped, self addressed envelope, with a $1 in it (yes, Canadian's fine) and I'll cut off a 3 inch piece for you and mail it to you, in the envelope you sent,
cheers,

just got mine in the mail today, very vague instructions that reads like a japanese did write it ....the picture is so dark i can't tell what buttons are what ....it looks like only two buttons even though there are 4 spots buttons can be with only 2 working....i'm sure all who have these they are the same, which button is the on/off button....the bigger of the 2 or smaller one....i still need to pick up a micro SD card yet, plus i noticed at least the one i have takes pictures also....the case on mine has what feels like teflon coating on it that seems to me glue/sticky take won't stick to it very well....also it says 3.7 volt battery so i'm thinking a small watch type battery but can't/don't see if case comes apart for battery replacement, i know it was only 7 bucks and seems to me it is a toss away when battery dies ....i'm thinking if case comes apart that i might try a screw through the bottom case into some sort of bracket mounted to my dovetail front sight on my exocet .........bob

I think all these cameras work the same way, so the instructions I posted back on page one should, I hope, work for you.
When I tried to stick my camera to my bow, with hot glue, I first roughened the surface of the camera, it helped some, but this method didn't work well.
The industrial Velcro works better. What made another real difference though, I think, is that after I removed all I could of the remaining hot glue, I cleaned the roughened surface with a small amount of Acetone. This dissolved a thin surface layer and left the surface feeling almost "tacky". I wiped the surface dry right after applying the acetone, but those few seconds, if that, was long enough to give me a surface that, it seemed, the Velcro stuck to much better than the original slick surface. Nail polish remover is basically acetone. Don't be breathing those fumes for too long,
cheers,

P.S. last week I tried to stick a piece of the industrial Velcro directly to my bow, first try it fell off. I cleaned that surface with acetone and now it's firmly stuck. So apparently being clean and not greasy makes all the difference; now if only our politicians could learn that.................

how do you find out what number cam ya have.........bob

....

You can only tell the # of the cam by the date stamp color ,location etc. My #3 cams on single picture have a black box with yellow letters/numbers but in video mode the letters/numbers are still yellow but without the black box. This site show how to know what cam you have. http://www.chucklohr.com/808/

i sent a message to who i bought it from and got an answer that i have the #8 cam....i just need a card now to use it, plus look up any info from daves you tube video link he gave........bob
