Page 11: Operation Notes
OPERATION NOTES A. Before each flight, make sure the cables and mounting hardware don’t interfere with the propellers. B. The GeoSnap system, mounting hardware, and cabling adds a total of 346 grams to the drone’s weight. C. The goal is to have one GeoSnap logging session per photogrammetry project. If you have to use multiple sets of drone batteries to map your entire project, we recommend hot swapping the drone’s batteries so the GeoSnap system remains powered on and logging during the swap(s). - Page 12 F. When you need to remove the gimbal from the drone, unplug the GeoSnap control module-to- hotshoe module cable here: G.
