Installing the Payload

The Nighthawk2 can be installed in a single payload configuration or together with the auxiliary battery payload.

Single payload configuration
Dual payload configuration with auxiliary battery

Each payload box features two arrows on top of each handle, corresponding to arrows on each side of the DeltaQuad Evo's payload bay. The arrows on the payload boxes must align with those in the payload bay, always pointing toward the front (nose) of the vehicle.

Removing a Payload Box

Each payload box has handles with two locking pins positioned opposite each other. To remove the payload box, grasp the handles with both hands, press the locking pins inward, and pull the payload box out.

Trip 2

The payload box contains the camera and its onboard computer, the Trip 2. On top of the Trip 2, there is a micro SD card slot that accommodates cards of up to 32GB for onboard storage.
