Runcam doesn't have one for the original version. Haven't been able to locate one elsewhere. Two of the four screw holes are stripped. I thought about packing the holes with epoxy, drilling and threading into the epoxy....not sure it'll work though....would rather replace the case. Thanks. "Damn the torpedoes!!!

I have two of those that are essentially unused, you can have one if you think it will work.

That first run of the Night Eagle looked a lot like the other cases, but the PCB wont fit in any of the other cases. Thanks anyway!! I have a Night Eagle Pro 2 I could use, but I hate to throw this one away....it works great and I would like to keep using it. "Damn the torpedoes!!! Full speed ahead!!!"

Unless you are referring to the silver case.

On the Runcam Eagle Pro 2 the thickness of the case where the screws go in is 3mm (the Eagle Pro 2 actually has brass inserts in the case from the factory). You can get M2 x 3mm brass inserts from Amazon for not a lot of money... https://www.amazon.com/REFURBISHHOUSE-M2...+x+3+brass Posts: 12,099 Threads: 125 Likes Received: 3,739 in 2,836 posts Likes Given: 99 Joined: Feb 2017 Reputation: 388 13-Jan-2019, 07:40 PM (This post was last modified: 13-Jan-2019, 07:40 PM by voodoo614.) If the eagle 2 case doesn't fit. Can't you epoxy the screw holes and retap? Edit: snow beat me to it. • Posts: 1,290 Threads: 67 Likes Received: 713 in 473 posts Likes Given: 1,216 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 23 (13-Jan-2019, 07:26 PM)voodoo614 Wrote: https://shop.runcam.com/cases-for-runcam-eagle-2/ Same case. Unless you are referring to the silver case. Yeah it's the silver one...it's deeper then the Eagle 2 and the holes are not in the same position. "Damn the torpedoes!!!

Thanks for the link to the inserts...headed that way now. "Damn the torpedoes!!!

I think this is it. Because the original Eagle has a double pcb, it should be the same as the night eagle. But I am just assuming. http://www.securitycamera2000.com/produc...Eagle.html Posts: 1,290 Threads: 67 Likes Received: 713 in 473 posts Likes Given: 1,216 Joined: Mar 2016 Reputation: 23 (13-Jan-2019, 10:45 PM)voodoo614 Wrote: I think this is it.

Good to know.....they are out of stock at the moment, but I'm on the list to be notified when they get some. In the mean time I'll attempt to fix the old one. Thanks a bunch Voodoo!
