Unboxing and Getting Started

The iSteady XE does not require activation; it's ready for use right out of the box.


What's In the Box

Let's see what's in the box of iSteady M6:

① Gimbal *1

② Fill Light with AI Vision Sensor(Optional)*1

③ Tripod *1

④ USB-C to USB-C cable *1

⑤ USB-C Charging cable *1

⑥ Carrying case *1

Charging Instructions

Before using the gimbal, make sure it's fully charged.


• Charging the Gimbal

Connect a USB adapter (Not included, 5V-2A for best) to the charging port with the provided Type A-Type C charging.

The flashing battery icon on the OLED screen indicates it is in charge.


• Reverse Charging

iSteady M6 supports reverse charging allowing you to charge the mobile phone through the Type C power output port located on the tilt motor side.

Tips:

① Android devices can use the provided Type C-C charging cable, while iOS devices need to utilize the Lightning charging cable (which you need to provide separately).

② When the gimbal is powered off and your smartphone is connected via a charging cable, press the power button once to enable reverse charging for your phone.


Unlock the Motor

• Roll Motor

Hold the handle steadily and pull up the roll arm from left to right until it can rotate freely.


• Pan Motor

Unlock the pan axis latch under the pan motor.


Mounting A Phone

• Horizontal Mode

Make sure the camera direction is the same as shown in the image below and keep the phone clinging to the rubber pads.


• Vertical Mode

Rotate the clamp by 90° to the right as shown in the image below and make sure it is in the middle of the mobile phone.

Tips:

When using the vertical mode with larger-sized smartphones, it's recommended to position the phone slightly higher. This ensures there's a gap between the bottom of the phone and the horizontal motor, allowing for proper balance and stabilization.


Balancing

Unlock the roll axis arm latch and push the arm to the left or right until the phone is steady and almost at level with the ground. Then tighten the latch.
