This is a completely unplanned, mildly stressful, and frankly irresponsible attempt to change the battery in my DJI Pocket 2. There are no instructions. Things are bent. A heat shield is sacrificed. At least one screw escapes forever. I had some fun though - and learned a few things. Don't try - never learn!
And yet… it works!
This little camera has earned its keep for years out in the field, so rather than bin it, I thought I’d have a go. If you’re looking for a proper tutorial, take note. If you want reassurance that mistakes can still lead to success - you’re in the right place.
Consider this a cautionary tale, a backup-camera rescue mission, and proof that gaffer tape is still a valid engineering solution.
Cheers, Callum.
