There’s a much easier way. Just go to my computer.. scanners and cameras…iPhone and you will see only your movies and photos – just drag onto your computer and delete from the iPhone and you are done.

Comment on Fanatec Clubsport Pedal Brake Problems by Rodrigo Strassacappa

Sad but is true.

I´m from Brazil and I recently bought a GT3 RS V2 and a Clubsport Pedals, unfortunately I didn´t read this threat about Fanatec products because if I did I would never buy this pedals. Just out of the box I’m going through the same issues. I´m trying to contact Fanatec Support and I hope they can help me out with the problem but so far I´m very disappointed.
Best Regards 4 all.

FYI this works for macs too. I am a PC guy, but I was helping a friend. I just did a search for the “apple computer” folder and under that was the mobile sync folder, with the backup there. Then I sorted by file size, and used the open with function to open a few and found the video I wanted. Copied it to the desktop, added .mov to end and voila. Thanks for the help!

Sad to say, I’m going through pretty much the exact same issues as what you all are describing. I originally bought a set of the standard pedals, then after about 5 months of use, noticed that I was getting jittery, “phantom” input on the brake pedal, when my foot was nowhere near it. Fanatec was all too happy to have me “upgrade” to the CSPs for an extra $150, which I happily did because I thought I was getting a good deal and a quality product, and would have something trouble-free which I could enjoy.

The CSPs lasted right about the same amount of time as the standard ones…and then started exhibiting the exact same behavior. If I brake hard and release quickly, it tends to be ok. But when I feather the brake, and slowly release it, it tends to register that there’s still a small amount of pressure being applied when I take my foot off.

I’ve contacted Fanatec support and they’ve offered to send me a replacement load cell, but I’m not convinced that that’s actually the root of the problem. Considering I had nearly identical issues with the standard pedals, which as far as I know, share no mechanical similarities in construction with the CSPs and don’t use a load cell at all, makes me believe that the problem is more likely something electronic…maybe faulty wiring or bad software/firmware? I don’t know.

What I do know is this is frustrating as hell, and if it happens again, I’m seriously considering ditching the CSPs and buying a G27 just for its pedals. (Logitech really needs to offer the pedals for sale by themselves…sounds to me like there’d definitely be a market for them). Oddly enough, I’ve had zero issues with my Fanatec GT2 wheel…why they can’t make a set of pedals with similar reliability is beyond me.)
