    Inspire 2 Battery Button Stuck

    I just replaced the gimbal dampers a couple weeks before i did the battery compartment, i just stretched it without entirely removing. those were kind of funky to put the new set in, my i2 came with an extra set, did you replace them yet?

    yikes, stripped broken screws are the worst. wish you the best on your surgery. I know it was quite nerve racking in my case. hopefully you have better luck on the antenna wires than i did.

    X5S Lens setup

    The Olympus is fully functional, but it does NOT have a power zoom, what that means is you have to adjust the zoom before takeoff and cannot be adjusted in the air.(not an issue with the typical MFT camera you're holding in hand) this is the same for x5 and x5r.
