Some items are not shown in the photo:

  • Cable ties
  • MicroSD to SD card adapter

Some items will be slightly different to those shown:

  • Mounting hardware - the vertical "standoffs" are a different type, the kit should have 4x nylon standoffs, 4x nylon nuts, 4x short nylon bolts.
  • Battery pack - the plug is of a different type.

Please check over the items in your kit, and if you think you are missing something then let us know.
