Gday,
I know this topic has aged a little, I just picked up the VX-5000 from Harvey Norman's.(Half price sale for $45 for everyone's information)
By the way I hope you don't mine me posting this here Rob

and if its ok ill add some images the VX-5000 produces. Seems silly to start a new topic on the same thing.....all good to go just waiting for clear skys now.
I have attached a pic of the cam modified.
Dan.
