power off modification vq1005

power off modification vq1005 by safoocat.
the fabricated piece of plastic is layed over the battery while the camera is inserted into its case. Since it's protruding on the positive end closing the case all the way will push
the battery enough to break the connection and power off the camera. Be sure the plastic is short enough it doesn't jam on the camera at the negative end of the battery compartment. Make sure it's narrow enough it fits in the battery compartment without
riding on the upper side of the battery compartment near the lens.

See the piece on the other side here:

Thanks to numu. for the inspiration:

The blue wood with the nut glued to the camera case is my tripod mount.

It is good.

Even if 100 hours are passed, my VQ1005 can still be
taken with one battery.
The number of sheets of taking a picture exceeded 450.

The hole for tripod is nice!!

a nice thing about this mod is that simply closing the camera turns it off, no more holding the button until it powers down.
