BATTERY CHARGING AND INSTALLATION: 

 

1.

 

Plug charger into a working 110V AC power source. 

2.

 

Connect charger to the battery. 

3.

 

Charger has an LED indicator on front, LED will be red while battery is charging and 
automatically changes to green once charge is complete. 

4.

 

Locate the battery compartment which is in the top pan boom (the top pan boom is located on 
top of the gimbal and below the pan motor). 

5.

 

Insert the battery in compartment and hook up the connectors.  

6.

 

Turn on the power and you are ready to operate. 

7.

 

There is an optional auxiliary power out connector located on the camera tray. By connecting an 
optional battery meter/indicator you can monitor the power level. On some models, a battery 
alarm will sound when the voltage is low and the battery must be charged. Another indication of 
low power is when the gimbal is unable to hold its balance.

We strongly recommend that you

 turn on your gimbal 

if your camera is not mounted.
