    V7.1.1 working great on my Type C, no longer hangs (stalls) at 0:17, Quicktime .MP4 shows 18fps and ~22Mbit/s, picture looks very good. Can't wait for my lens to arrive! Have boxes and boxes of old film that still needs to see the light. Thank you @0dan0 and everyone else here making all this...

    Here's V6.1 on my newest Type C purchased a couple months ago ... looks like correct data, same SD card, no stalled frames or captures issues. 10 sec clips plays all frames finally the correct screenshot

    ok, new capture on V7.1a on Type C – also I am getting consistent data failure around the 17 sec. mark. Unit continues moving film, capture continues, movie hangs at ~17 sec and repeats same frame for the rest of the movie, in my case 51 sec mark. I am using SanDisk 280mbs SDXC II U3.

    Opps, do I load both? FWDV280.BIN AND FWDV280-C-71a-Odan0.rbn ... to the root or just the .BIN file?

    @0dan0 Just flashed my Type C w/ 6.1 but the screen is still showing v.6.0 - the unit did go through the update process - :20 delay and all so maybe it worked and its just the screen graphic that is incorrect. not complaining – just feedback 😎

    @fishgee Tried firmware C, same result. Reels unit just boots as normal. Takes only a couple seconds. Wondering if Kodak changed something in these newer ones? Should I return this and find an 'A' or 'B' version?

    Hello everyone, Just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. I have been curating my grand-father and father's old film collections for many years. It has been amazing to find so many shots of far off places and experiences. I started about 8 years ago with Wolverine 720, and using a Wolverine...
