Bit of a setback, the nifty rechargeable battery pack is bung. The mfg has agreed to an RMA, but that's gonna take a bit, so appears I'll be tied down for a bit longer. Phooey. Tried to find a short RCA lead, or the bits to DIY one today, but all the local shops are consumer oriented. Will have to hit town tomorrow to source the needed bits from a proper geek shop, then should be able to demo something (albeit with a power lead, bleh). Guess I could just buy some AAs, but as I said that's gonna get real expensive real fast. :) Totally fine for operational use, but 18 bucks worth of AAs just to monkey about and film a video is a bit rich for a poor man like moi.
