FAQ
Why does the gimbal automatically power off?

The gimbal will automatically power off if no phone is installed or the phone is not properly balanced (causing motor overload). You will hear a "beep" sound as a warning before it shuts down. Make sure to install and balance the phone correctly before turning on the gimbal (see the First Use section for details).

How can I connect my phone's Bluetooth to the gimbal while the app can't find the device?

Clear the Bluetooth connection and try reconnecting:

Push the zoom lever upwards and simultaneously long-press the M button for 5s. When the Bluetooth indicator flashes green five times, it means the Bluetooth connection has been cleared. You can then follow the Bluetooth connection steps to connect again.

What are the four working modes of the gimbal?

A. Pan Follow Mode (PF)

Roll and Tilt axes are locked. The gimbal allows the phone to pan left or right smoothly following the operator's movements, while maintaining a steady tilt and roll position.

B. Pan and Tilt Follow Mode (PTF)

Roll axis is locked. This mode enables the phone to follow the operator's pan (left/right) and tilt (up/down) movements, offering more dynamic control over the framing.

C. Point of View Mode (POV)

All three axes (Roll, Pan, and Tilt) are active. This mode allows the phone to follow the operator's movements in all directions, It offers a 'first-person' perspective, capturing footage as if the viewers are seeing through the operator's eyes.

D. All Lock Mode (L)

All three axes (Roll, Tilt, and Pan) are locked. The phone's orientation remains fixed regardless of the gimbal's movements.

What should I do if the zoom slider is not working?

What should I do if the motor arm can be seen on the screen during shooting?

Ensure that the phone is attached tightly and horizontally, and you can solve the problem in the following two ways:

B. Press the trigger on the back side four times to enter ultra wide angle mode.

How do I connect the remote controller?

* The remote controller is an optional accessory and needs to be purchased separately.

Switch the remote to "OFF". Press the M button seven times to enter the remote controller pairing mode (at this point, the Bluetooth indicator will alternate between yellow and green). Switch the remote to "ON," and it will automatically connect to the gimbal. When you press buttons on the remote controller, and the gimbal's Bluetooth indicator flashes yellow, it indicates a successful pairing.
