- Thick design is currently NOT ed (DJI production batch 2025/01 )
See photos for how to identify the thin vs. thick design. You can check the production batch on the O4 Pro packaging next to the serial number. Please let us know which design and batch you have as we're trying to understand this better.
ASSEMBLY VIDEO ON YOUTUBE
Detailed assembly and coating video guide available on YouTube
Assembly instructions for Camera
1. Disassemble the O4 Pro Camera - see video
2. Insert M2 nuts into the Camera Mount holes (2-4 nuts)
3. Bend the Camera Mount open and put it carefully around the middle section of the O4 Pro lens. Be careful not to break the small locator pins (even though they are not required for the O4 Pro standard case)
4. Push the Camera Mount together so that it is fully closed
5. Fix the ND Filter Ring onto the Camera Mount with the four small screws included in the O4 Pro Lens
6. Insert the coaxial cable
7. Snap the Back Cover on (optional for O3 Upgrade)
8. Fix the Camera to your frame with 2-4 M2 screws (use the screws included with the DIJ O4 Pro Air Unit or with your frame)
Assembly instructions for VTX
1. Disassemble the O4 Pro VTX - see video
2. Insert the SD-Card/USB-PCB into the VTX Mount and fix it with the 4 original small screws
3. IMPORTANT: Put the two original thermal tapes onto the VTX chipsets against overheating (see pictures)
3. Put the VTX on top of the VTX Mount and fix it with the 2 original small screws
4. Connect the ribbon connector of the SD-Card/USB-PCB to the VTX
5. Mount the naked VTX to your frame onto an 25.5x25.5mm stack by fixing it with M2x14 screws (for Light) or M2x10 screws (for Ultra Light)
6. Fix the Connector-PCB to the Connector Locker by using the original 2 small screws. You can leave the original scotch on as additional spacer for the Coax Connector
7. Connect the ribbon connector of the Connector-PCB to the VTX
8. Add the Connector Locker on top of the VTX Mount by further tightening the M2 screws
9. Fix the two antennas to the VTX
10. Add the Antenna Locker on top by further tightening the screws
Overheating performance
- IMPORTANT: The 2 original thermal tapes need to be placed onto the hottest chipsets (see pictures) and the VTX needs to be exposed to sufficient airflow from the propellers
- Flying and 4K recording: No overheating
- Low-power mode (5-9 mbps): ca. 4min until overheating
- High-power mode (50-60 mbps): ca. 1min until overheating
Coating (optional)
- O4 Pro already has some coating on the PCBs from DJI
- Possible to add a second coating for additional water protection while using this naked kit
- Waterproofing by Dread_FPV recommended: light (<0.5g) and holds better over time than MG 422C
- Do not coat the chipsets to allow for cooling. Similar overheating performance measured with coating
- See our YouTube video for coating instructions
Making an O4 Pro naked requires handling small and sensitive electronics. Be extra careful to not accidentally damage your air unit. We are not liable for any damages.
ND Filter Test for O4 Pro
