    Can the cables be purchased separated???? I have a chance to buy one and 50% off but it doesn't have the external microphone cables.

    I have now switched to the GoPro Hero 7 Black….My SJCAM SJ8 Pro broke within a couple of months of using it (shut off and wouldn't turn on at all). SJCAM told me to contact the seller which I did who offered to send me a new one…it never arrived. They supposedly sent a second (from Malaysia again) it never arrived again. Then the seller said they would refund me…never happened despite repeated promises. I contacted SJCAM to tell them I wanted to get a replacement and sent them video of the malfunction (like I did to the seller). They erased my help ticket like it never existed…I haven't heard back from them…I'm done with SJCAM…which is sad because I like the SJ7 STAR for cockpit audio when I fly. The only problem I've had with the two SJ7 STAR cameras is that the micro usb port has broken off in both cameras (I superglued a micro usb to usb cable on the second one before it totally broke off so I could keep using it in the plane while charging it at the same time with a USB power supply). The first SJ7 would not record sound after the micro usb port broke (while using the plug in official SJCAM microphone. The GoPro Hero 7 surpasses everything…that's all I'm saying..the only problem is that it's never going to be as cheap as SJCAM. I did all of my video reviewing with the SJ7 and SJ8 but they will be retired soon with GoPro cameras. The hypersmooth technology is what sold me and it is great. I do not have room in the plane to have a gyro.

    UPDATE: They also took down my 2nd help ticket without anything said….DO NOT BUY SJCAM!!!!….or should we call it SCAM and make the J silent?
