Introduction
Go to step 1 ↓This guide will provide a step by step process to the removal and replacement of the shoulder buttons controlling the camera or video on the Yuneec ST10 Plus drone controller. The lefthand switch triggers the drone camera to take a snapshot and the righthand switch toggles the recording feature. If either of these functionalities stop working and you’ve troubleshot the problem to the physical switches, this guide can help you to replace the malfunctioning button and resume the functionality of the remote.
Good news: the two switches are connected with cable connectors, so no soldering will be required to replace them!
