Step by step instructions on how to replace the PPK fixation mechanism

Required Equipment

• WingtraOne
• Female push-to-release lock
• Long nose plier
• UHU POR or similar glue for expanded polystyrene (Styropor)

Step by step instructions

The instructions should be followed carefully. Deviating from the described procedure can lead to damage to the camera mount or insufficient fixation of the PPK module and hence missing or corrupt PPK data.

1. Make sure the WingtraOne is not powered

2. Lay down the WingtraOne on a flat surface and remove the top cover

3. Open the top cover

10. After 20 minutes, mount the push-to-release button. Make sure it is flush with the surface of the foam

11. Close the PPK lid - check whether it locks correctly in the new push-to-release lock
