Action Camera - MIC modification

I've got one of those cameras, got it for just under $30. Didn't expect much but it was 1080p, small, light weight. I was going to mount it under a quadrocopter, still might get around to it. GoPro mounts work, but you have to use the waterproof case. The camera itself isn't so easy to figure a good way to mount though. Need access to the buttons on top. Buttons on the right, card slot, and I/O ports on the left, battery through the bottom. Mostly, I use it for sunset videos. Can't see paying $400 for a GoPro, when you can get that same China quality for a small fraction. Be funny to find out it's made by the same factory over there...

Yeh I wanted something small and wasn't going to spend $$$ for it , been happy with it so far except the audio which I fixed for my purposes anyway.

That's another great thing about less expensive electronics, no big deal to open up and mess around. Doesn't hurt much if you mess it up, but it's real sweet, when you make it better, or make it do just what you want, and saved a load of money.

Huge improvement!
Good job!
