I didnt want to gamble getting a separate adapter and then have them tell me "your product doesnt work because you bought the wrong charger! I only had to lock the strap. I was looking for a shoe that didnt have any fabric, because after getting wet several times they start to stink. The camera is absolutely horrible. For me assembly was not easy, but what made it difficult and time consuming was that I kept placing parts facing in the wrong direction, so I had to keep pulling apart peices and fitting them back together. I really cant complain about this, I have worn them DAILY since they were purchased. Oh and remember the software mentioned above? Yeah, you can adjust all settings for the mic as well, including sidetone. They are easy to move and much easier to store and easier to access than the plastic bins. They?re quite comfortable for extended use. I honestly dont know why the manufacturers do not see the need to include a kickstand in the first place.
