Didn't Parrot use a very similar L/R handed "keyhole" type attachment on the Bebop before Autel or DJI?

Missed this, Ow am ya mate? Other side of the Beacon in Bloxwich.

Nearly finished my cup of tea, and my underpants are over my jeans, so I'm nearly ready for round two. Ding Ding!

Yes mate, my iron is an expensive station (bought in the sale at Maplins before they went bankrupt, half price) and it's turned up to 11, and the solder itself is some I "acquired" from an electronics expert friend who only ever buys the best. I'm pretty sure it's the stuff on the cables, so...
