Hey everyone! I'm currently traveling Bali and tend to carry only a minimal bag with the Movi and some other stuff on a daily basis. Problem is the powerbutton get's easily pressed by some other item in the bag, which led to a drained battery several times - just when you want to get the shot you can't... What about using a little sequence to turn the power on - like on DJI drones? Short press followed by long press. This could probably be done with a firmware update. And maybe add two tiny noses above and below the powerbutton on version 2 of Movi Cheers!!
Chris: I realize does not implement your suggestion, but I just pull out one of the batteries and put a Post-It between one terminal and the spring contact in Movi, then re-install the battery. You just pop the case off and pull the Post-It out when you're ready to shoot and it's ready to go.

Thanks Andy! That's a good hack for now!! Will go with that one from now on, but it would be nice to see some improvement from Freefly on this to make this a no-brainer
