Charging Instructions
Before using the gimbal, make sure it's fully charged.
• Charging the Gimbal

The flashing Mode (Power) indicator indicates it is in charge.
• Check the Battery Level

Getting Started
• Mount a Tripod
Align the tripod with the bottomb 1/4 inch screw port and securely attach it by turning it clockwise.
• Unfold the Gimbal
Expand the gimbal. Tighten the knob by turning it clockwise.
Tips:
The gimbal would not function properly if the knob was not tightened.
Mounting A Phone
Rotate the phone clamp to make the "hohem" logo facing upward.
Position the phone with the camera facing left, slide one side of the phone clamp against the phone, and pull the other side of the clamp to secure the phone in place.
Ensure the phone is centered approximately before powering on.
