• 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.

Ever wonder about all those places that sell the expensive equipment we use? The NY Hack shops...

Here is some enlightening information for all to see.

My reccomendation and the safe names in the circles of video producers etc. B&H and EVSonline in Ca. I have personally done thousands of dollars worth of business with both without a hitch.

Check out this link.

Yeah -- according to Consumerist, PriceRitePhoto, the Brooklyn outfit that folded last year after someone "outed" them (including the New York Times), has opened up AGAIN under "BarclaysPhoto":

and unfortunately Yahoo Shopping, PriceGrabber, and MSN Shopping are merrily carrying their new listing.

I think it was said best by a commenter there: They could just as well call the place Zombie Photo for as many times as they rise from the dead. Even if you put these guys in prison, their remaining cousins and whatnot would just open up across town under another name.

Screw New York City -- I'm never buying any electronics from there, even on eBay. The state and city regulators have demonstrated an astounding degree of corruption by allowing these outfits a climate in which to thrive over the past 20+ years, and I don't trust any of them anymore.

What amazing work you did to expose the flaky operations. Oh yea their web sites and ebay sites are always very plumped up to look important and reliable and imperssive. B and H is undoubtedly ok and Im sure there are many others. But wow look at these pics you are showing us. Unbelievable!
