What was the name of the guy you bought yours from?I think i may of bought from the same guy.I just bought one off there and i'm starting to think mine does the same thing. The first time i set it out it worked fine, b/c it took a few pics of me. I set it out another time and it didn't take anything not even pics of us before we left. I've got it set out again to see if it works any better.
