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:
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
