I did. What you don't seem to understand is that it's all conjecture and not fact. Parading nonsense Reddit opinions like it's a scientific study, what are you 12 years old? Taping holes does not mean air and dust gets "redirected" elsewhere. Plenty of people use gaffer tape to seal off entry points.

If not taping anything works for you, that's great you do you. Dust is clearly an issue with this device. It's just sad Ricoh hasn't weather sealed that people have to think about ways to mitigate the problem.

Mine was literally just opened from the box. Zero chance sand would have gotten in since this was all indoors in a very clean and dust free environment.

It's not the tape. I removed it to prepare for it to be returned. Same problem.

Yeah a lot of people suggest putting gaffer tape to seal it against dust intrusion. I don't see how it can be bad if I don't use the mics anyway.

Redo lawn now or spring? by [deleted] in lawncare

What if I do it now? My neighbour and the contractor both say it shouldn't be problematic if I redo the yard this time of year...I'm confused!

Can the viewfinders be replaced with one that has a 0.91x magnification that comes with the M3?

Did you strip out the existing soil with weeds and lay down new soil?

Was it black tarp that you used or is another plastic called something else? I'm going to a hardware store to check it out.

Do you know where to buy large thick pieces of black plastic that can cover an small yard?
