Blufin XR520 Microphone Problems

4 posts
  1. Dear Blufin Users,

     

    More Problems shows up with my XR520 Blufin Housing. I was in Polynesia to filming Humpack Whales. For sure it was great, but my Housing makes again Problems. Now with the Microphone.

     

    Always when i dive down it shows me" Please click in the Microphone to record Audio." I was short before coming Crazy. I tried everything without any good result. Click in click out .... It is always the same, even during a Scuba Dive. The Result in Audio Records is that I loose temporaly Seconds of Audio when this Problems shows up. It looks like with a undefinied Pressure, the Microphone doesnt work.

     

    Again I have 3 older Blufin Housing with me the last Years and I never got the Problem.

     

    The Answear from L&M was that a few Users have this Problems when they Dive in big Currents....

     

    So what I want to know is, is ther anybody who have the Same Problem..

     

    Best regards

  2. Never heard of this issue. What did L & M say was causing the problem and what were their suggestions for a fix?

    They told me just that they heard this same Problem from a few other users. It shows up when they dive in Big Currents. They have no Idea how they fix, but I will send it in and hoep they replace it.

    I have the same microphone issue. Cuts in and out "randomly". Quite disappointing at the Sardine Run as my dolphin and whale song were regularly interupted, not to mention the big box error message blocking the entire monitor while you are shooting...

     

    My Bluefin is currently at L&M with a repair/work order for this..

     

    Will keep you posted..
