Trash

In the past, we have used plenty of these, but the past year or so the quality has seriously divebombed. We ordered one to replace one of ours that died (several years old). The deck quickly malfunctioned on the first use. It stopped recording in the middle of a show, and then would not recognize any SD cards. We returned in for a replacement. The replacement did the same thing. We returned it for a replacement. I just received the replacement and went to plug it in so I could update the software, name the deck. Won't even power on. I hear that Blackmagic changed manufacturers or something. Horrible product right now.
