You asked, let's listen! To provide more choice to our customers, not only BEC board for HERO6/7, BETAFPV also designed a new BEC board for GoPro HERO8. You no longer have to worry about your GoPro turning off during a flight. This BEC board weighs only about 1.5g, which makes your naked GoPro super tidy and lightweight. This BEC board has a built-in 5V 2A BEC, stock GoPro buttons, LED pluggable connectors, and remote recording!

BEC board diagram
The two buttons on the BEC board have the same functions as the GoPro stock buttons. Three actions we will use frequently.
- Power on: Press the power/mode button, the LED flashes three times and turns off.
- Start recording: Press the "Record" button once and the LED flashes slowly. If the LED flashes once and turns off, it means there is no SD card.
- Stop recording: Press "Record" button, the LED stops flashing slowly.

LED status
During normal operation, first connect the GH1.25 connector to the GoPro Lite camera, then connect it to the battery. The LED will flash once, so you need to press the power/mode button once per second to turn on. The LED on the BEC board has the same state as the original LED on the GoPro motherboard.
| Indication | Button operation | LED status |
| Power on | Press the Power/Mode button once | Flash 3 times and light off |
| Switch off | Press the Power/Mode button for 5 seconds | Flash 7 times and light off |
| Start recording | Press the record button once | Slow and continuous flashing |
| Stop recording | Press the record button once | Flashes 3 times and turns off |
| Mode switch | Press the Power/Mode button once | Check the mode on the LCD display |
How to set up remote recording
The pilot can use the switch on the radio transmitter to start/stop recording. Additional configurations are required.
For example, if you use F4FC V2.0 in the drone, such as 95X whoop drone, the connection diagram is shown below. The yellow cable (FC B12 pad pin) is for remote recording only.
We use the Pinio function in Betaflight to check the record. First, set the Pinio function of pin B12 in the FC board.
FLASH_CS resource 1 NONE
PINIO resource 1 B12
set pinio_box = 40.255.255.255
save
Next, map one of the switching channels in your radio transmitter to this Pinio (also known as USER1). As shown below, we map the AUX4 channel in the radio transmitter to USER1 Pinio. The cursor in the orange area means button released and the white area means pressed. So keep the cursor in the orange zone by default.
Third, check if the Pinio feature works. Switch the switch and move the cursor from the orange area to the white area and finally back to the orange area. Now you can check the LED status to know if recording starts. Use the same procedure to stop recording.
If you use the 12A F4 AIO FC board, such as the 85X whoop drone, you will use the LED_STRIP pin (also known as the A08 pad pin) for the Pinio function.
resource LED_STRIP 1 NONE
PINIO resource 1 A08
set pinio_box = 40.255.255.255

Under the 24-month Legal Guarantee, Drone24Hours is responsible to the consumer for any defects in conformity that cannot be detected at the time of purchase.
The lack of conformity exists when the product is not suitable for the use for which it is normally intended, does not conform to the description or does not possess the qualities promised by the seller, does not offer the qualities and performances usual for a good of the same type, is not suitable for the particular use desired by the consumer if brought to the attention of the seller at the time of purchase and accepted by the seller (art. 129 of the Consumer Code).
Any lack of conformity which becomes apparent within 24 months of the date of purchase of the goods must be reported within 2 months of the date of discovery of the defect.
Unless proven otherwise, it is presumed that any lack of conformity that becomes apparent within 6 months of delivery of the goods already existed on that date. In the event of a lack of conformity, the consumer has the right to have the conformity of the goods restored, free of charge, by repair or replacement (art. 130 of the Consumer Code).
The consumer may ask, at his choice, the seller to repair the goods or replace them, free of charge in both cases, unless the requested remedy is objectively impossible or excessively expensive compared to the other. Repairs or replacements must be carried out within a reasonable time from the request of the Consumer; the average time for returning the product to the Consumer is 20 days.
If Drone24hours is unable to return the repaired product within the maximum period of 60 days, the consumer may request one of the alternative remedies (replacement, termination of the contract, price reduction).
Drone24Hours will send the product for any repairs to the Technical Assistance Center authorized by the Manufacturer.
What happens if the Service Center does not find the lack of conformity?
If the lack of conformity is not found, Drone24Hours will communicate the estimate to the Customer, who can decide whether or not to carry out the repair at his own expense. In this case, any transport costs and diagnosis of the defect requested by the Assistance Center will be borne by the Customer.
