Attaching DLS2 mast to a M200 series
1. Remove the left side drone leg holder. The mount should only be installed on the left
side of the aircraft.
2. Align the DLS2 mounting bracket behind the leg holder and re-attach the leg holder
and the bracket to the drone using the provided M3, 8 mm BHC Screws (Qty 3) and
applying loctite to the threads.
3. Mount the DLS 2 unit on top of the mast using the provided M2 X 8 (Qty 2) screws and

IMPORTANT: The mount should only be installed on the left side of the aircraft. Do not install
the mast on the right side of the aircraft as the propeller may pass too close to the mast
causing instability of the DLS2 or contact with the mast.

Attaching the RedEdge-MX, RedEdge-MX Blue
and the Dual Camera Mount
Note: Dual configuration requires the use of a DLS 2; a RedEdge-M can be used, but an
upgrade to the DLS 2 is required for software compatibility and support.
1. Locate the M3 x 10 mm black-oxide screws, M3 lock washers, M3 flat nylon washers,
and Dual Camera Mount.
2. Using the screw holes, attach the mount to the back of both the RedEdge-MX and the
RedEdge-MX Blue. Make sure the mount’s 8-pin camera port is located on the same
side as the cameras “PWR/TRG” ports. Add a drop of loctite to the threads of the
screws. The order of the components is:
Black-oxide screw → Lock Washer → Dual Cam Mount → Nylon Flat Washer → Camera
3. The RedEdge-MX (Red camera) should be in the front of the dual camera mount when
the system is properly installed. Also, only one WIFI dongle should be installed in the
Red camera and not in the Blue camera. The extra WIFI dongle should only be used for
advanced configurations.
