• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

Selling my Canon Vixia HV40 Mini DV camcorder. Bought it after the 2010 chase season and have only used it a handful of times since (life got a lot busier after that season apparently). It’s still in great shape and records great video. It does well in low light settings. Only downfall (and the major reason I am selling it) is that it records on mini DV tapes, not to an internal hard drive or memory card. In order to transfer the video to a computer, you need to have a FireWire port and cable. Unfortunately, FireWire ports don’t come on most computers/laptops any more so I don’t really have a way to transfer the video. There may be other ways to transfer it, but the firewire port is the way I always did it and I’m not tech savvy enough to figure out another way.

It’s still a very solid camera and if you have a way to transfer the video this could be an absolute steal. Asking for $230 for it. I’ll pay shipping. I do not have the original box or manual, but I’m sure you can find the manual online. Comes with the camera, charging cable, and one unopened mini DV tape.
