I am on a short vacation trip over a long week-end. I took the opportunity to use my geotagger again. You might remember that I bought new cables since the old one broke during my India trip. Cable-tagger connection is a design flaw on that product. It turned out that the expenditure for the new cable was futile:
When I wanted to plug that damn thing again I had yet another technology breaky-breaky experience.
The connector at the geotagger consists of a metal frame and a plastic tongue in the middle which holds the electrodes. This metal tongue seems to be loose. Look at the pictures.
This is how the connector should look like
This is how it looks like after plugging and removing the cable.
When I plug the cable and pull it out again, the plastic tongue with the electrodes is displaced by ca. 5 mm. Also there is no connection to the camera and I can’t charge it any more.
I will contact Solmeta and see if they offer some kind of warranty.
Guys, I am always very careful with my belongings, why does stuff keep breaking when I am using it. I should apply as an equipment tester. What survives me survives everything.
