Ball-down (upside down) mounting: rotating the front cover

If you intend to mount your camera in the ball-down (upside down) mode, you must first rotate the camera’s front cover so that the drain hole is facing down when it is mounted.

Important

Use caution when attempting this procedure; there is a risk of water ingress and potential resulting damage to the camera if the cover is not reassembled correctly — the drain hole MUST be facing down when mounting the camera upside down.

  1. Unscrew the rear cover screw.
  2. Remove the rear cover.
  3. Unscrew the 4 front cover screws and spring washers.
  4. Remove the front cover and rotate it 180° so that the drain hole is facing down when the camera is mounted upside down.
  5. Reassemble the front cover with the screws and spring washers. The screws must be tightened to a torque of 0.8 N·m (0.6 lbf·ft).
    Ensure that the front cover is reassembled using the correct orientation, and that the drain hole is facing down.
  6. Screw the back cover on.
