(update – 7/16 – I’m a big fan of silicone wire – grab 28awg and 30awg lengths from adafruit industries – and if you source wire that you like – please message me so I can update the description for the benefit of others.

This is a video response to a request that came in on the forum. Just like any other delicate task, to do a high quality job, you need time, technique and the right tools to get the job done.
In this video I cover some techniques for crimping common micro connectors for a lot of components we use in FPV, like video systems, flight controllers and component to component connections.
Let me know if that was useful or if you’d like any other details on anything discussed in this episode.
