Find where you want your buttons & drill appropriate sized holes (there are no electrics on the left side behind the throttle, see pics. on last post) Remove all of the screws from the bottom/base of the controller and remove bottom. install your new buttons.

On the front of the controller you will see the board that holds the buttons on the left (facing you with mic input) you will see a dark purple wire by the buttons (this is the zoom). Cut the purple wire at the button board (not the main board) this will need to be redirected to a post on one of the new buttons, you will probably need to use extra wire to reach.

on the right (not mic side) you will see an orange wire cut this at the button board and redirect to a post on the other new button.

to the right of the hat switch on button board there is a line of 7 wires soldered into the board, the one closest to the center (light grey) is your ground. cut this wire in the middle strip it and twist it back together leaving it exposed. run wire from the second post on each new button to the exposed wire and twist them into it, cover with electrical tape. This wire must stay conected to the main board from the button board, we are only splicing it to the new buttons. You can splice the orange & purple in this way if you still want to use the front ones (I saw no need).

Now solder the wire connections on your new buttons. reasemble & enjoy your new reachable zoom & trim/target cam buttons!

I will post pictures of the wires tommorow when I have a better camera or at least daylight.
