I would not connect the hand controller while flashing the firware as if there is a glitch and the controller tries to talk to the mount while flashing you may have problems.
what i wondered was can i use any 12V adapter to power the hand controller on its own so that I can flash the firmware? e.g. can i use a 12V/1A adapter even though the manual says 12V/100 mA?

does your post mean that you use the jumpstart to power the controller on its own when you flash the firmware (controller disconnected fro the mount)?
