Is there a jaycar anywhere near you? They have them listed on their site. Search "camcorder" on their site and it comes up

Thanks for your reply but I am in Japan so Jaycar is not an option. Also as shown on the attached picture in my previous post the camcorder cable has a different ground. I can cut and solder but would prefer not to, especially as the ground goes to each of the 3 RCA connectors.

Well, it would seem the iP5 is suffering from shonky battery life (surprise, surprise). People are reporting 4 hours tops, but with some fettling and resetting of settings, and turning a heap of shit off, it can be extended out to possibly 8 hours.

Gee, that's not dissimilar to what I get with my Velocity. Isn't superior battery life one of the virtues of Apple products?

Not a big deal I suppose. You could just go out and buy a higher capacity battery and put it in like I can with my Velocity.....oh, wait....

I haven't actually put a different battery in yet. Haven't had a need too.

The HTC Velocity is called the Vivid in overseas markets and comes with a 1620mAh battery.

Got purple?

This iPhone 5 really is revolutionary, isn't it? Shitty battery life, crappy camera, incompatible with all the stupid non-micro USB devices one was forced to buy in the past, specs which do not better it's high end competition, the most awesome mapping on the planet, a connector plug that, after costing you another $39, doesn't do video out and, of course, there's a good chance that when you opened the box to unveil your shiny new toy, it wasn't actually that shiny and had scratches around the case already.

Just got my Galaxy S3 4G today. It's much nicer looking with the chrome edge, and Jelly Bean is a ton smoother. Google voice is awesome, even more accurate than Siri I think!

Obviously the main attraction is 4G.. this is in Perth. Not sure why the upload was so slow, every round after was faster.

Apple will have to run an ads in leading UK newspapers as well its own website stating that Samsung did not infringes its products.

LOL

A US appeals court has lifted a sales ban on Google-branded Samsung smartphones in a patent fight with Apple, saying there is no evidence sales are driven by features copied from the iPhone.

Some sense was made that day

Agreed and feeling pretty retarded/pissed off.

I don't give a f**k about the Apple vs non-Apple bullshit but to supersede a product after only 6 months is a joke.

i saw a headline for a story about the ipad mini and had a laugh. just made me think that they have put a sticker on the iphone 5 (or ipod) saying "ipad mini" so they will just sell the apple fans a second iphone/ipod

    • I have too much trauma from every skyline I've ever seen having crushed jack points/pinch welds lol.    Yep, works 100%, it's what I use when I'm using the quick jack. Don't know why I can't also bring myself to do the same thing when I'm using a jack. I blame the skyline PTSD. 
    • The pinchweld is fine, even with a trolley jack, so long as you're not actually pushing on the pinchweld itself. More to the point, we shouldn't talk about lifting or supporting on the pinchweld, we should talk about using the sill "jacking points", which just happen to be adjacent to the pinchweld. I just have dense rubber blocks with grooves in them for each of the chassis stands and the trolley jack, that I use at the sill jacking points if/when I have to lift/support there. They put all the load onto the steel pad of the jacking point and not the pinchweld. As intended.
    • Makes sense.  I would do something different if I felt like there was a better option. Generally the only other area I'm happy to jack on is where I want to put the stand. The pinch weld is not an option for me for either the jack or stands, so very limited options overall.  Plus never having had an issue with doing this, has kinda reinforced in my mind that it's fine. I'd do it on any car without a second thought these days lol. 
    • I know on some cars it's explicitly endorsed in the service manual but a lot of them it isn't which is what gives me pause. I know a lot of cars also have you jack up the car by the radiator core support which is a lot easier to get to than some crazy deep section of the front subframe. I'm just reluctant to find out if any of that is really safe to do if not listed in the service manual. The FK8 has even the R-chassis beat in this regard, the front subframe jack point is almost fully behind the front tires and is surprisingly recessed into the car.
    • I've been doing it for longer then I can remember and on pretty much every car I've owned without any issues.  Jack on a tow point (or under the rear diff), jack stands under control arms/other beefy suspension component is my go to if I'm not using the quick jack.
