#NoFilter … as they say. Just as it fell off the DSLR.

Not shooting through a very dirty window in my “storeroom” (aka front bedroom) might have improved the result. LOL

I may leave it like this.

Some big elastic bands to hold the body top and battery on - video cable dangling - video cable covers off.

But ….

… and no errors!

GIN AND TONIC TIME!!!

Still got to finish the reassembly and fly it … but they shouldn’t be an issue. #FamousLastWords

However, this “angle of dangle”, the reason I went on my little £££ adventure, persists … and it continues to annoy me.

So - it’s just started raining (first in almost 3 weeks), thunder and lightning, and tonight will be 100% cloud and no sunset or blood moon.

I’m jinxed!

That last sentence came back to haunt me! :confused:

Well - not sure how much you followed of this rambling thread - but, in summary - my plan didn’t fix the “angle of dangle”.

I’ll be doing a summary post of pointers for anyone planning to replace either cable, though, since I learnt quite a lot over the last couple of weeks.

Yup! LOL

This looked very painful… :exploding_head:

A few hiccups … more worrying at the time than anything.

Learnt a lot - which I must make into a “How To” with all the warnings that come from my mistakes.

I’m going to partly dismantle again to take relevant pics for the post … so I’m quite happy with it now. :+1:

The “angle of dangle” was never resolved, though. :frowning:
