I just looked it over and it's possible the case shutter button pin could just be contacting the camera shutter button when the door is closed and latched if the camera is riding high in the case. Pushing and holding the camera into the case on lower side of the back results in .011-.08clearance, pushing in on the upper side of the back gives .004, pushing in on the upper side and down on the latch area resulted in .002 with moderate pressure. If that button is making contact it could create the odd sounding resonance....??

I'll try this heavy vinyl tape shim in the top of the case and see what happens:

Pulled all the fasteners attaching the main circuit board to the body but it wasn't coming out easy so I abandon the quest...............there's something between the main board and the front of the camera that's lose and rattling.

We'll see how GoPro handles the issue................

Let me know if they blow you off -- I'll give you another one.

Just got my new remote controlled version that I ordered at SEMA... and I'll use that one and the other one will go to the bottom of some camera heap. :D
I also use my Contour+ 'cause it's so much more reliable (I can't ever remember all the crap on the Go-Pro etc).

There is a one-click on-off option that you can upload via firmware. Really easy once you do that. Without it, it certainly is a pain in the arse.

Thanks GW :thumbsup:

Here's the video I captured this morning and submitted to GoPro:



Audio is OK until movement creates any vibration. What doesn't make sense is I can't recall any impact since the last use that would have caused this.

After 20+ years of no radio I decided to make a radio delete plate for the dash.

I'll use it as a magnetic bulletin board until figure out a good use for the vacant space. :D
