    For anyone about to make videos – PRACTICE on the ground multiple times to get the pushbutton sequence memorized. I have a “great” funny video of two pilots trying to get a go-pro to activate in flight – but clearly it was taking away from flying the plane! Understand when it is “running” and when it is just ready to run. As for remote cameras activated by blue-tooth – here too, practice on the ground and confirm that all the bits are running on the same update of software. A software update in flight is a non-starter. Yes it happens.
