I wonder if this is connect in any way.... Understanding the root issue was an outdated geo magnetic map...
I never had a single compass error until late November and in December. I wonder if the more dated the file, the more chances of an actual error is?
I have not, but, use the piece of foam pad that sits between the camera and the controller (if you have the Karma case) and stick it between controller and lid. I have used this "hack" to keep hands free durning follow me mode.
Very interesting, could you share what mods you made to work with the Karma?

I am pretty happy with the overall concept and light output. If I am to believe the specs of the flashlight, its 3000 lumens x2.
Notes on performance and handling:
Battery-life - no real scientific test except looking at the countdown timer - I would say adding the 9 OZ cost me about 15 to...
I assembled everything and soldered it together. it appears I do not need the button assembly at all to drive 2 LED's. total weight 9 and 3/8 oz. I can trim about an OZ more with shortwr screws and removing the battery cover.
