Just curious....

Has anyone had problems with their CX 100?

It seems since there are no moving parts that problems would be few and far between. (PC's, HC's- tape carriages, focus, telephoto wouldn't work etc.)

I'm not talking about settings, or things that you did to break them.

i.e. Buttons stop working, touch screen doesn't work etc.

The hinge on mine is getting a tiny bit wobbly. That's not to bad for 100+ tandem videos on it and dozens of freefly jumps since April on a camera not in a box and just exposed.

I have around 100 tandem videos and a bunch of other wing suit, belly, free fly stuff on mine since May and like Free also don't have it in a box. So far the only thing that I've noticed is a few dings on my wide angle lens housing where it's been bumped on the door a time or two. My screen seems to be tight still. I do notice that the half moon plug where the hype eye D plugs in does seem a little loose now though. So far that is the only thing that I'm really keeping an eye on though.

Are you having any issues with yours?

I have about a hundred jumps on mine, top mounted naked as a new born baby. It has several 'scars' where I've banged it on the door, but other than that, it's performed pretty much without a problem.

I download video via the USB interface to my laptop for my 4 way team, and try to leave that fragile looking 'D' connector plugged in as much as possible...

No problems. Just the door a little lose.

I usually try to keep a back up camera if possible, but with these it seems like the only problem would be my fucking it up. Doing something stupid (dropping it, hitting it etc) or losing a helmet.

So I will hold off on a back up.

I can tell you from personal experience early on that provided the fall is not to far, a drop won't kill it either. I dropped mine onto the dinning room table, it then bounced off and hit the hardwood floor. When I first turned it on the focus was all wacky. I took the wide angle off, reset the manual and auto focus and put the wide angle on and have not had one single issue with it. I've been having the spare or no spare debate too.

One of our other video flyers just had to send his back because he broke out the attachment point on the bottom of the camera. However his was caused by using a camera condom on every jump and he was always having to tighten it down to keep it from moving. As a result over about 3-4 months it broke that nut loose and finally gave out completely. I have a condom for mine too, but only use it when it's actually raining and I know that I'll probably have use of it.

Had the imager stop working in high humidity conditions. Fixed itself a few days later when the humidity dropped. This was after a pretty good impact several weeks prior.

Had that problem when i first got it. took the plate off and used epoxy to fix it. havent had a problem since! 7 screws hold on that plate, super easy to fix.

He actually pulled the nut through the plastic. I had read about you doing that and was going to try and fix it for him, until I saw that.

i dont think an impact wrench should be used for that!
