Einleitung

This guide will help you replace the camera on the DROCON Ninja DC-014. The drone’s camera provides live video to the user while in flight. If you’re unable to see the live video consider replacing the camera. To determine if the camera needs replacement check out the troubleshooting guide linked here. Remember to remove the battery before beginning any work on the drone. An opening tool and a Phillips 00 screwdriver are required for this repair.

    • Make sure the drone is powered off before beginning the battery replacement.

    • To turn the drone off, press and hold the black button on the top of the drone until all lights are off.

    • Firmly grasp the battery tab between your thumb and index finger.

    • Pull the battery away from the drone's body

    Great work with the action shot and writing clearly here, but notice that you’re taking the shots as if you’re watching, not from first-person perspective.

    • Using a Phillips #00 Screwdriver remove the eight 4mm screws on the bottom of the drone.

    Add screw length measurements to all guides.

    Also, be sure to use a red bullet to coincide with red markup.

    • Gently pull white casing away from the black bottom casing

    It looks like you’re kind of wedging your fingers between the two pieces. Is that correct? If so, add that detail here. If it’s just really gently pulling, then keep as is.

    • Insert the opening tool under one of the black plastic connector slots that connects the circuit-board to the casing.

    • Gently pull the opening tool toward you to disconnect the circuit-board from the plastic casing.

    What is the red markup for? Note that circular markup is only for screws. Also, for the wires, how can they tell if they are in the appropriate slots?

    • Use a Phillips #00 screwdriver to remove the 5mm screws connecting the front two motor arms to the drone's body.

    • Use your fingers to gently pull the white plastic discs out of the motor arms.

    Can you add markup for the two screws? Also, I think a wider shot of the drone with the piece marked up would be helpful, as it’s not clear where this is from the previous picture. If possible, consider retaking the picture on your hand, as it’s a bit blurry. How should I pull the disc out—with my fingers? Does it require force?

    • Grasp the motor arm and pull up and away from the drone's body.

    • Repeat this step for the other front motor arm.

    Make sure to include end punctuation on all steps.

    • Using the Phillips #00 screwdriver, remove the two 3mm screws on the control board.

    Be sure to use markup. Where on the device is this in relation to the previous step? I feel like a top down shot with markup could replace either the first or second shot.

    • Using the opening tool flip up the black plastic clamp that holds the camera wire to the circuit board.

    • Gently pull the camera out from the control board.

    How did you flip up the clamp? With your fingers or a tool? Should the last picture be in the middle?
