+===== Technical data =====
+  * Input Voltage:		     2 - 6S
+  * IMU type:			     BMI270
+  * Max log frequency:               1.2kHz
+  * Log type: 		             Betaflight Log
+  * optional external trigger: 	     momentary switch, PWM
+  * LED indicator: 		     RGB LED
+===== LED status indicator =====
+New versions of our logger (start 05.2023) utilize a custom Betaflight Firmware to display the current BlackBox status. The following colors are used for each BlackBox State if you choose ARM State as LED function (default config):
+  * Running is **green** but can be changed via Betaflight Config
+  * Disabled, Stopped, Paused, Shutting Down is **red** but can be changed via Betaflight Config*
+  * Prepare Log File, Cache Flush, Start erase is **blue** and can't be changed
+  * Send Sysinfo, Field, GPS and Slow Headers is **yellow** and can't be changed
+  * Erasing and Start Erasing is **orange** and chan't be changed
+*To change these colors head to the Betaflight LED Config and set the colors you want under ARM State called "Armed" and "Disarmed".
+===== Mechanical setup =====
+**Naked BMPCC 4k/6k**

+  * best placement: Behind the lens
+  * Gyroflow IMU orientation: yXZ
+  * Coldshoe mount, SD card pointing forward.
+  * Gyroflow IMU orientation: XYZ
+**RED Komodo**
+  * best placement: Use ¼” screw on top of the camera / smallrig case, SD card pointing forward.
+  * Gyroflow IMU orientation:
+**Generic**
+  * best placement: use ¼” screw on top of the camera, SD card pointing forward.
+  * Gyroflow IMU orientation: depends on camera model.
+===== Operation workflow =====
+  - Power on the logger/drone/camera
+  - After powerup, the logger must initialize. This takes roughly 2 seconds of time during which is has to be steady (similar as with the drone flight controller powerup)
+  - After the initialization the logging automatically starts
+  - After landing, turn of the logger by flipping the switch
+  - Remove the SD card and transfer the logs to your computer
+  - Import the Video, Lens profile and Log file into Gyroflow
+  - Select the correct gyro orientation
+  - Estimate gyro offset by comparing liftoff time in Log and Video (Blackbox explorer helps!)
+  - Press auto sync and the video and log file should be synced
