Sony DCR-TRV900 problem?	Can't Post

I was wondering if you have anyone has a TRV900, either as a main camera or back-up, and how you like it?
I've heard about this problem with the front housing breaking off when using the Century .3 fisheye, because of the weight?
Can anyone tell me about their experiences with this, or any other things I might need to know about it?
The feedback would be greatly appreciated!
Matt

Yeah, in the Baker2G video a guys front end of his trv900 falls off after getting hit with a skateboard. that's the first i ever heard of the problem though. never knew about it before that. I'd imagine it doesn't happen that often.

The TRV900 lens mount could be improved, but I don't know if this is specifically a TRV900 problem. I think few cameras are really designed to be hit by skateboards.
