Risk-takers in countries other than Russia may still be willing to buy and hack the clock - it is a smashing idea to make an intelligent clapboard out of it! My daughter who is a video editor likes it just as it is.

Chinavasion ripped me off on shipping costs - I paid for UPS delivery, they sent with an inferior mail service which took forever to deliver and had me running all around town with paperwork for customs clearing. UPS would have done all the legwork for me and delivered to door. Besides, Chinavasion is a broker which means they get a substantial cut (this is why the clock is so expensive) and take time to ship your order. Wish I knew the manufacturer's address - hacking the clock that you buy direct from factory is much more rewarding than that bought from a reseller. Great clock, just be careful with the vendor.
