  • Use the TX10 Torx screwdriver to unscrew the four screws in each corner of the payload area.
💡 The screws are attached to the camera mount. You do not need to worry about losing them inside.
  • Lift out the camera mount assembly by pushing it from the lens side and slightly tilting it.

Step 3 Insert the new camera

  • Insert the RedEdge camera with the mount.
  • Tighten the screws in the four corners using the TX10 Torx screwdriver. Make sure you don't overtighten them as they might damage the hole on the mount (maximum torque 0.4 Nm - use two fingers tightness).
