    Random thoughts and questions!

    Thanks for sharing that. Not sure if it's just me, but the footage using the ND8 filter seems so much more clear than the others, even when panning. What are your thoughts? How often do you use it and in what circumstances?

    Maybe it doesnt apply to your situation but toward the top of this link where I and others comment on what seems a similar concern to yours, there is a picture that shows what I was talking about https://3drpilots.com/threads/gitup-git2-camera-live-view.6910/#post-98925

    Accessory Port - Burned Solder Points

    I am not sure where I got the info that the non ribbon cable wires to the accessory bay were the power, but it now appears wires 1 & 2 of the ribbon cable "are" power? There may be other wires that carry power. I have no idea what the other wires are for, but I tried my polar pro LED lights...

    Accessory Port - Burned Solder Points

    The alcohol helped a little. The ribbon cable pulled off while cleaning contacts, bummer! I ordered a new board with the accessory bay attached to it via the ribbon cable. Not sure why the bay wouldn't have simply powered the polar pro lights, but I have new board coming and if it fixes it...

    Accessory Port - Burned Solder Points

    I will clean up the solder points with some alcahol and see if i can determine where the break is. Anybody know if the power that is supplied to the accessory port is through the ribbon cable or the other set of wires between the accessory port and the main board?

    Accessory Port - Burned Solder Points

    So I finally got around to opening my main solo up again to upgrade to the green cube and while doing so I looked around for any bad connection points on the accessory port which has not worked. This particular picture is not of the ribbon cable solder connection points, but a picture of...
