What I want to do

settle on the best default configuration for shipping Mobius ActionCam cameras for use in aerial photography.

My attempt and results

SYSCFG.TXT

basic decisions:

Questions and next steps

Gather thoughts from folks who do this a lot. What do you think? What would you do differently if selling these to general population?

Why I'm interested

Ready to start selling these cameras in the store, as standalone and as part of kite kits. Want to settle on the best way to make them functional as aerial rigs without requiring someone to edit a config file.

Sounds good to me.

If there are other configurations that people will want without learning how to edit the config file, they could go on the SD card in a folder of alternate settings.

Thanks Tony. I like Mathews idea. I used the config file PL shipped for the infragram. For the stock one, I used the software GUI. I've not edited the text file directly.
