have any details on the external mic mod you did?
The clone tested out pretty well. Just wish they would have advertised it as a "Clone of SJcam4000 without WiFi", and there would have been no issues. Otherwise the software works better than SJCam's, and the picture looks every bit as good. I paid $40, but at $25, it's a no-brainer... cheap and effective camera.

Here's the YouTube video on how to do the external microphone mod. At $25 (or even $40) for the camera, I'd be less shy about trying. But note that you'll want soft/flexible wires as the points to solder are small, and thicker gauge wires will break off the copper wiring on the circuit board. (ask me how I know...)
