High Mode

From Upright Mode if you invert the handles you get the High Mode. This
is useful for a range of high shots and can give some interesting faux crane
shots. Its higher centre of gravity makes it harder to control than the other
modes.

Mid Mode

Now you re-attach both modules
while swapping sides to keep the
handles in the correct orientation.
This takes you to the inverted gimbal
Mid Mode. If you’re not yet silky
smooth with Upright Mode then this
will be an easier mode to get smooth
shots as it’s almost the same height as Upright Mode.
You can get some interesting creative angles such as tilted up ‘Child's eye view’ or
moving along lower objects such as cars, railings, plants that’s great for B-roll. It’s
also a good height for capturing smaller children.
