[QUOTE="Wedgy, post: 1103195, member: 64108"] Here is one of the three VX-6's I had to return because the zoom was louder than a zipper when I turned it. This was recorded with my cell phone which does not have a very good microphone. It was LOUD. [url=http://s21.photobucket.com/user/rwedgy/media/Mobile%20Uploads/20150225_203216_zps6ueibrdi.mp4.html?sort=3&o=52]20150225_203216_zps6ueibrdi.mp4 Video by rwedgy | Photobucket[/url] Here was another that had issues with the side parallax adjustment. Two of them had issues with that. I could here what sounded like a spring clicking and getting higher pitched as I would turn the knob. The other was sticking out about 1/16th of on inch and loose.
