Matters Needing Attention
For safety reasons, please pay serious attention to all of the following items:
Ensure nothing blocks the servo drive module’s total range of movement, to avoid motor damage.
Before powering on, spin the gimbal by hand through the complete rotational axes to ensure nothing is
blocking the mechanical movement of the gimbal.
Be sure to mount the side of servo drive module1 with ports facing towards the aircraft’s tail.
The gimbal’s center of gravity balance has been preset from the factory. The gimbal balance is
directly correlated with the gimbal performance. Please do not adjust the gimbal’s center of gravity
by yourself.
The gimbal is a sophisticated, highly technological device. Do not remove any other screws in the
gimbal which would result in poor performance or even damage.
Do not unplug any cables attached to the gimbal ports or change the mechanical structure.
Make sure all wiring is correct, otherwise it may lead to abnormal operation or the gimbal may start to
operate out of control.
Make sure to connect the wireless video transmission module to the GCU prior to powering on the
system.
The camera’s HDMI resolution should be set to 1080i, otherwise the HDMI-AV/HD module may not
work normally.
The factory gimbal video power cable is recommended.
Make sure you solder the gimbal video power cable to the wireless video transmission module
correctly. Ensure the cables are insulated and protected to prevent and type of short circuit.
Pay close attention to the S800 EVO’s voltage and be sure it is within the defined limits (6S) when
using one battery for both the S800 EVO and power supply for the gimbal.
Prevent the gimbal from ever touching the contact points of a power cable; otherwise it may lead to a
short circuit of the gimbal and cause complete failure.
Make sure to adjust the roll axis of the gimbal to be level when the camera is attached before
powering on.
