For those of you (like myself) who often struggle to locate the smooth, low-profile video and photo buttons on your Phantom 4 Pro controller (and possibly other models) with your fingers, here's a tip. Go out and purchase some small stick-on "Felt Bumpers" and apply one to each button. It will make it much easier to find those elusive buttons and never miss that perfect shot.

@MapMaker53 What is the original use for the Felt Bumpers?

You would typically stick them onto the bottom of an item that you wouldn't want to scratch a surface they were on -- such as a lamp on a table, the bottom of chair legs, etc. They come in multiple sizes. I found the 3/8" size matched the buttons perfectly. You should be able to find them at any Home Depot, Lowes, or Ace Hardware stores.

They come in a few colors. I had a pack of gray ones. They also come in oatmeal, brown, and white that I have seen.

Outstanding. I've seen them before in stores but didn't recall seeing the smaller ones. Great idea :)
