I've been thinking about another one of those what if''s - not like those from i1Tesla :)
What if I could re-use an old GearVR - you have to love Samsung for forcing new ones as the phones change, so I still have an old one hanging around from my Note 7 days.
What if I could re-use an old GearVR with the drone for FPV instead of indulging in some of those lovely Epson Moverio BT-300FPV Smart Glasses...
Stumbled across this video and looks like there are a few of them, to basically drill out one side of the Gear VR clamps....
Was thinking, what if we could hack one of the modular connectors on the other side, keep the clean un-drilled out look?
As it happened I had a spare connector, so out came the multimeter to determine pinouts and the handy soldering usb pen....

Oops! D- and D+ round the wrong way first try - great use of a multimeter :(
Swapped round - Green / D+ on the top row next to the 5V
Some good ol' hot melt glue
Couple of layers of heatshrink moulded to nicely bend round
