    Remote control buttons not working

    On last couple of MM flights the video and stills buttons on the remote have not worked. I had to use the fly app to stop/start video and take stills. Has this happened to anyone else? I believe I am up to date on versions of everything. Regards.

    Fixing a strobe to the Mini. I found an efficient solution.

    I used superglue with an accelerator spray to speed it up. UV glue may be another option. If I reposition my strobe I'm going to try UV glue.

    Video too sharp

    I think the 'sharpness' being referred to is the tendancy of the MM to apply a sharpness algorithm to the video captured by the camera. It is most noticable on straight edges which are dark against light. The algorithm adds a thin contrasting line to fool the eye into thinking the edge is sharp...

    Very hard to say. But as I have the flymore combo, if the usb on the drone wears out I would not know as I charge batteries using the 3 battery pack. Also I transfer the data by putting sd card in a reader, so the usb port is redundant for me anyway. Happy flying.

    Fixing a strobe to the Mini. I found an efficient solution.

    I think it would be possible to glue it in such a way that the door is still openable. I didn't consider that initially. I may reposition it. Its not been a big problem, I have only used the strobe at dusk, not every flight.

    Fixing a strobe to the Mini. I found an efficient solution.

    Using a Flytron Strobon strobe, I super-glued one of those micro usb tips that comes with the quick attach cables for android phones etc. It does not seem to affect compass. Can calibrate as normal. The bonus is its lightweight and can be removed without leaving anything on the drone like...

    Mini not recording video after firmware update

    Don't know if this is same but.... (on. 003 firmware) Today i took some footage and accidentally switched off the mini without stopping the recording.
