Flip the Display

In some locations, you may need to mount the HERO4™ so that it hangs upside-

down. But this doesn't mean you have to look at the SyncBac PRO display upside-

down too - by using the

Flip Display

option, you can rotate the screen display by

180°.

To flip the display:

1. Connect your SyncBac PRO to a HERO4™ (if it is not connected already). For

further details, see

Connect SyncBac PRO to a GoPro HERO4™ on page 16

.

2. If your SyncBac PRO is currently off, switch it on (see

Switch SyncBac PRO On

and Off on page 17

).

3. Press the

Select

button.

4. Use the

Up

and

Down

buttons to scroll to the

Display Settings

option.

5. Press the

Select

button.

6. Use the

Up

and

Down

buttons to scroll to the

Flip Display

option.

7. Press the

Select

button to confirm.

8. Repeat steps 3-7 inclusive to rotate the screen display to its previous

orientation.
