Good guide! Quick question: do I really need to power off the camera before removing it, or is it safe to do it while it's still on?
It's highly recommended to power off the camera before removal to avoid any potential electrical hazards. It's a simple precaution to ensure safety.
I disagree with the need to completely disconnect the power. I’ve removed mine without turning it off multiple times and never had an issue. Just be careful when handling it.
