How do I zoom/focus/adjust camera settings while flying? How do I start and stop recording?
For now, various stand-alone zoom/focus/pause controls are available on the market. Panasonic made (and discontinued) a particularly small and light version which, if you can find one on e-bay, can be velcro’d to the Merlin handle. If you master one-handed operation, you can also control these functions with the other hand by means of the infrared remotes supplied with many camcorders.
