A couple of notes on quality:If you are going to be using the USB ports while (solely) on the battery, you will need to move the jumper from DC3V to BAT or the USB ports won't be powered.
- The front of the plastic face had a gouge on the edge. Not sure if it was done in shipping or in manufacturing.
- Couple of the screws still had metal pieces where the phillips head screw driver should fit, making the screw useless.
- There is nothing to hold the battery in place. Don't really want a battery sliding around hitting Euler bus.
- It appears the enclosure/LCD panel isn't meant to be used with the camera. Camera ribbon length is too short. No mounting bracket for camera. Even if you hold the camera sensor up to the hole on the LCD the view is to obscured. Needs to be flush mounted to the LCD glass.
- The case back is not meant to be opened and closed regularly -- closer to being closed permanently. Bad deal if you want to swap out micro SD cards.
hi, this is just a quick note on the battery; a cool trick is to use sticky velcro strips (one side stuck to the pine and one side stuck to the battery; can be easily removed, yet won't slide around in the case.
They make now a 'plastic' velcro that I use all the time (works the same way, but no fabric is involved).
