SwellPro GC1-S Waterproof 1-Axis 4K Camera

Safety instructions

The GC1-S is a piece of precision electronics with corrosion-resistant materials that allow for use in
harsh marine environments.
As with any marine equipment, trouble-free and lasting operations depend on proper attention and maintenance of the equipment.
Dropping or crashing directly into the water from above will result in significant damage to the drone and the gimbal camera.
When taking off or landing, slowly proceed to avoid damage to the gimbal camera, which can be caused by the huge impact when contacting the surface at high speeds.
If seawater or other sediments form on the gimbal camera, soak thoroughly with fresh water and clean all sediments on the camera and motor before use.

Installation
