No, I dont think that its a static problem in the strict sense. I have been going over each case of the two incidents to try and understand what I did.
I have a suspicion that it may be to do with an interupt of the usb cable to the camera itself. Usually Im anal about getting permission from the PC to eject a device but on the last occasion I think ( not absolutely sure ) that the cable came loose. Not fully disconnected but may have given a quick on-off-on jolt to the camera. The only thing which is common to both incidents is the USB cable as the rest was exchanged with the camera. You'll excuse me if I dont try and replicate it though. Ill have a good look at this connection and make sure its secure. I was only running my PC and the camera with no other electronics on the first occasion and just the camera, laptop and mount on the second.
The bottom line is Im not completely surre but at least I know what to do in the future.
