A clanking sound inside the lense area in my New HVX?

[trollSA]

Hello all this is my first time posting here long time reader.

Made the jump and bought the HVX200! When I picked it up there is a sound like the lense in side is moving and going clank when I tip the camera back and forward!!!! Freaked me out called the place where I bought it and they said it was the gyro inside the camera. Is this true or is the sales guy trying to stop me from returning it. He said "the 20 cameras they have sold have all the something its the way the camera is"

When I turn it on it doesn't make that clanking sound, but again when I shut it down and move it around there it is again!.

Please let me know if this correct or should I be worried. I'm sure you all know how long it took me to convince my wife on letting me get this camera and I don't really want to tell her it is already broken!

D.

Notice is goes away when you turn the HVX200 on.

Damn, this makes me realize I missed the opportunity to post my own 'clunk' thread when I got my HVX.

Oh well.

Other possible, but somewhat implausible threads...

Should I wait until NAB to have the clunk in my DVX fixed?

Newbie wants a camera - should I get RED or buy a Panavision?

HVX - more grain or less than Miami Beach?!

Can I stand on my REDCage instead of using an applebox?

WTF?! The sky is blue with some weird white puffy patches (one even looks like a giraffe?!) when I shoot it with my XLH1!
