Well, I must have really bad luck...My 5th replacement on this camera is a bad one...Pan motor bad and the camera took on water. Not sure where to go from here...any suggestions?

Wow that is unbelievable!
How long are they going to continue having problems?
Sorry to hear that you are having so much trouble with it.
They appear to have little to no quality control anymore.

Had same types of problems. After going through 3 straight out of the box. I have up and returned for refund

What did you get to replace it?

I sill have my vexilar from a few years ago. But when I returned the pancam I bought a Aqua vu micro 5c. Love it. Hangs around my neck and so portable. I was worried about the smaller screen but seems to work. Even for my old eyes

How long have you had the Micro? I went through 3 camera head returns due to leaking in water. If you have just started using it...good luck. I do agree with what you are saying. I already miss mine just for how simple it was to setup and get going. sigh

As for the Marcum, long since gave up on that. Same thing, leaking camera head and stopped panning. I have a vexilar too and that thing has never had an issue - 5 years strong. Still prefer AquaVu though over any for cameras.
