        Recommendations       

   

  

After   adjusting   the   camera   installation,   check   that   each   knob   is   fully   tightened.

   

  

Do   not   overtighten   the   screw   wrench   to   avoid   stripping   the   screw.   

  

For   very   small   cameras   and   lenses,   if   you   cannot   reach   the   balance   as   per   the   steps   above,   replace   
the   camera   or   lens.

   

        TIP       

   

  

Before   starting   the   gimbal,   make   sure   the   camera   is   properly   mounted   on   the   stabilizer   and   
perfectly   balanced.

   

  

Beholder   MS-­‐PRO   uses   the   latest   32-­‐bit   systems,   a   multi-­‐processor   technology   and   inductive   motor   
technology,   with   greatly   improved   torque.   Therefore,   it's   able   to   start   and   level   the   camera   if   it   is   out   
of   balance,   but   for   shot   stability,   battery   life   and   power   saving,   we   strongly   recommend   you   find   the   
best   balance   first   and   then   power   the   gimbal   on   and   shoot   the   video.
