Yes I can give you the answer. The Hydra head is a machanical/electrical unreliable turd. I had these at my previous job and saw minimally 4 Hydra heads get replaced under warranty. I wont even go into the "Midas" head or the linescan cameras or th

Hello all Has anyone ever upgraded their machine from the Hydra camera to the linescan camera? I was wondering what your cost was. I recently requested a quote and almost fell out of my chair when I recieved it. Thank Ron
