Fred,
I think you will find that the need for 12 volts is something more useful
to us than to the average user of the box. I think that many people will use
this for shooting images of stuff, like small items for eBay etc. Which reminds
me, I have ahd some success using a barcode app and the box to, say, roll a tin
across the bottom, slowly, and thus find the barcode! Worth playing with when
people get their new toys!
Sandy.
