    Can someone tell me if the waterproof case should have a rubber seal around the plastic?
    Mine doesn't buy thought it would do

    Managed to pick one up from Whitchurch after missing out on the one local to me. It's currently charging the battery... :)

    Looking forward to getting out on the bike now! :)

    I'm gonna be testing mine later today as I plan to ride my crf450. Will see how it handles vibration of a 4 stroke motocross bike. Can't wait.

    Right well mine has to go back due to missing the rubber seal on the case, and no stock locally left :(
    Any stock near anyone else?

    Might be worth giving Hitachi UK a call and see what they can do as that camera has come off the argos site now

    Well I spoke to hitachi uk and they refuse to have anything to do with the camera's, everything is down to Argos apparently as they are soley responsible for importing them etc. it's a bit strange and makes me wonder what happens if it goes wrong within a year as Argos only give 14days all seems a bit dodgy but they have found me a replacement I just have to wait a week to receive it
