any tips on removing from the usbc port? im finding it very difficult without using a tiny screw driver or tweezers since the magnet falls off. is there a better way?

On many cameras, you can actually pull the magnetic plug out together with the Unleashed, if you very slightly wiggle it up and down while pulling it out slowly.

Instead of a screwdriver you should use what's called a "Spudger".
this usually gets shipped with any Smartphone spare parts, so if you don't have one already, any smartphone repair shop will probably have some to give away.

Alternatively, a guitar pick works really well, or the corner of a credit card, or of course some some longer fingernails ;-)

I moved this topic to the Tips and Tricks forum, that fits a little better ;-)
