V-Mate Video Memory Card Recorder

[#1]

Just bought a scandisk V-mate which worked very well for about one hour. Then the remote control stopped working.  The retailer has been very helpful and has offered to replace it and I am waiting for the replacement remote to arrive.  I did read one internet review which experienced a faulty remote.  The remote control is pretty flimsy, has anyone else had problems with their remote ?  Does anyone know if any other more sturdy remotes can be used with the v-mate as I now can't see the replacement lasting forever!  Thanks.

Hi. could you please tell me the retailer that gave you another remote?

Thanks.

I bought my v-mate from an ebay seller.   You should  be able to get a remote direct from sandisk ( v-mates have a 2 year manufacturers warranty )
