3. Connect the BEC Module: The BEC module connects to the camera's main board using the provided FPC flexible cable. Ensure a secure and stable connection to prevent poor contact.

   

   For non-visual users: This image shows the compact BEC module with its various connection points, including the SH 1.0 3P connector.

   

   For non-visual users: This image displays the thin, flat FPC cable with connectors at each end, designed for internal component connections.

4. Install the Cooling Fan: Attach the micro-fan to the designated area within the case to aid in heat dissipation.

   

   For non-visual users: This image shows a small, square cooling fan with two wires for power connection.

5. Secure the Rear Case: Close the case with the #ABS rear cover, ensuring all components are properly seated and secured with the provided screws.
6. Attach Mounting Base: Secure the mounting base to the assembled camera case. The base has an installation spacing of 24.5mm, compatible with various GEPRC drone series (Cinebot, CineLog, Crocodile, Rocket, Crown).

   

   For non-visual users: This image shows a black, rectangular camera mounting base with screw holes for attachment.

7. Connect Power: Use the power cable to connect the BEC module to a 2S-6S LiPo battery. The BEC output is 5V-2.5A and 3.3V-500mA via an SH 1.0 3P connector.

   

   For non-visual users: This image shows a black power cable with white connectors at each end, used to supply power to the BEC module.

8. Install Filters: If desired, install the included ND16 filter or the UV protective glasses onto the camera lens. The kit is also compatible with GEPRC ND8 and ND32 filters (sold separately).

6. Operating Instructions

Once assembled and mounted on your drone, the GEPRC Naked Camera Parts kit facilitates the operation of your Naked Camera GP9/GP10/GP11. The kit itself does not alter the camera's core functionality but provides a protective and power-efficient housing.

• Powering On/Off: The BEC module provides power to your Naked Camera. Ensure your LiPo battery is connected to the BEC module. The camera's power state will typically be controlled via your drone's power system or the camera's native controls.
• Recording: Use the native controls of your Naked Camera GP9/GP10/GP11 to start and stop recording. The front screen (if applicable to your camera model) allows for easy monitoring of status and settings.

  

  For non-visual users: This image shows the GEPRC Naked Camera GP10, highlighting its front display screen which shows recording status and battery level.

• Cooling Fan Operation: The integrated cooling fan automatically helps dissipate heat from the camera's CPU during operation, especially during intensive recording sessions.
• Filter Usage: The installed ND (Neutral Density) or UV filters help manage light exposure and protect the lens. ND filters are particularly useful in bright conditions to reduce shutter speed and achieve cinematic motion blur.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your GEPRC Naked Camera Parts.

• Cleaning the Case: Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe down the aluminum and ABS case components. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish.
• Cleaning Filters: Gently clean ND and UV filters with a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth. Avoid touching the filter surface with bare hands to prevent smudges.
• FPC Cable Inspection: Periodically inspect the FPC flexible cable for any signs of wear, kinks, or damage. Ensure it remains securely connected to both the BEC module and the camera motherboard.
• Cooling Fan: Ensure the cooling fan is free from dust and debris. A small brush or compressed air can be used to carefully clean the fan blades if necessary.
• Screw Tightness: Regularly check that all assembly screws are tight to prevent components from loosening during flight.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your GEPRC Naked Camera Parts, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• Camera Not Powering On:
  • Verify that the LiPo battery is fully charged and correctly connected to the BEC module.
  • Check the FPC cable connection between the BEC and the camera motherboard for any disconnections or damage.
  • Ensure the BEC module is receiving power from the battery (2S-6S LiPo).
• Overheating Issues:
  • Confirm the cooling fan is properly installed and operating.
  • Ensure there are no obstructions blocking the airflow to the fan or the case's ventilation slots.
  • Check that the camera's CPU is making proper contact with the heat-dissipating elements of the aluminum front case.
• Poor Video Quality (related to filters):
  • Ensure the correct filter (ND or UV) is installed for the current lighting conditions.
  • Check filters for smudges, dust, or scratches and clean them carefully if needed.
• Loose Components:
  • If any part of the case or mounting feels loose, gently tighten the corresponding screws. Do not overtighten.

9. User Tips

• The composite material construction and assemblage attributes of this kit contribute to its overall performance and ease of integration.
• Always double-check all connections before powering on your drone to prevent electrical issues.
• Consider carrying spare FPC cables and screws, as these small components can be easily lost or damaged during field repairs.
