I kam Extreme

well i think it cost me around 99$ bought it just for the very purpose of creating a video blog about fishing or whatever. the concept is solid and i have to say it worked fine for the first 3 or 4 times i used it. hardest part was it only had about 45min of filming and you had to remember whatever you looked at it filmed!! so needless to say it was taking a little getting used too. i made sure not to get it wet or over charge it , made sure it was  empty before the next use so it wouldn't run out of space.all well and fine then it started turning itself off. it would start fine and then shut off after 20-30 sec i ended up with a lot of very very short vids. made sure it was empty and made sure it was charged. it worked fine at home after i did that. then i got a 8gig  micro card to try and i put it in and that was it. its totally screwed now. won't turn off, completely locked up. both lights on have to reset in order for it to shut off. .website says to reformat it, thats fine but it won't even be recognized by the comp, i have tried a mac and a windows system. it just stays on and it won't connect to the computer. apparently after reading many many many reviews , this is a common problem. one that the company that makes them seems  to be satisfied to accept, i haven't tried to contact anyone but from what I've read they resolve the issue by offering another pair at a discounted price. of course who wants another piece of junk for  a few less dollars. ohhh well like i said i like the concept, guess  i will have to try a one of those go pro hd hero2 cameras. at least then i can take it out on my board and get some surfing footage too!! hell i don't even think they were uv protected anyway. had to wear em  for all day and got headaches the times i did! ill be glade to file them in the trash!!
