DCR-TRV140
The Sony DCR-TRV140 is an awesome video camera with excellent features for the average movie maker. Although it has somewhat intimidating components, navigating the options is moderate until you become used to what you want from it. Beware of the flashing warnings, one in particular – the C:31:23 which represents a unit malfunction. Sony lists it as moisture build up in their manual which can be true, but it is also a standard warning if moisture is not the problem. I had this very same error but without the moisture issue. A common flaw in this perpendicular tape design is a simple roller (inside where the tape goes) can come loose or completely dislodge from its placement pin which causes the error code. In this case you will receive the error code but the only function the unit will allow would be to insert/eject the tape. FIX – find the roller and with needle nose pliers, replace it gently to the pin, (it should already have a 1mm plastic tube inside it – if not get one, cut smaller than the roller and put it inside the roller) snug it in place and your unit should work. This worked for me. Please do not smack your unit with your hand like some web-sites suggest, this will only result in further damage. The Sony DCR-TRV140, with a little TLC it will give you plenty of enjoyment.

Good but not great
Using this battery on the Blade 350 QX3 Quadcopter, it is a recommended substitute to the expensive one provided. This battery is much cheaper (from eBay) and fits perfectly, however; flight time is reduced dramatically buy nearly 3-4 minutes. My flight load included the 3-axis gimbal and the CGO2 camera. Overall, it's worth it. Just buy a couple more to fly longer.

Used on my Quadcopter
My FPV set-up needed a second, lightweight battery for the mini cam. This was perfect!
