VI. OPERATING POSITIONS
The Allsteady 6 can operate in many positions, allowing you to get shots from down low and up high or even
mount the gimbal to a tripod or crane. These operating positions can be changed very quickly by cycling the
gimbals power. The gimbal can operate in all five of the program modes while in any of these operating
positions.

Under-Slung Position
This is the most commonly used mode with the handles up on top and the camera down below. When the gimbal is resting
in the tuning stand, it is in the Under-Slung mode.
o
Simply power on the gimbal from the tuning stand, or while in your hands, to begin using the gimbal in the Under-
Slung Position.
o
Don’t forget to change to the correct mode for your camera size.

Inverted Position
Use this mode when you want to get the camera to sit comfortably at an elevated level. You can also hold the gimbal up
high to get shots from above.
o
To get the gimbal into the Inverted Position, start by holding the gimbal in your hands in the normal Under-Slung
position as shown in Diagram A
o
It is very important to remember to turn the gimbal powered off before changing to this new position.
o
Invert the rubber grip handles 180 degrees.
o
Rotate the pan axis 180 degrees while keeping the camera pointed forward. If done correctly, you should have the
joystick on your left side facing you.
Note: Once the gimbal is flipped into Inverted Mode the joystick will be back
in your right hand.
o
Rotate the gimbal upside down in a clockwise direction. Then rotate the camera tray along the roll axis in the
counter-clockwise direction. Pay attention to the wired connection near the roll motor and be careful not to pull
or twist this cable. If this move is done correctly, the cable will have plenty of slack to operate in the Inverted
Mode.
o
You may choose to use a piece of furniture to help you flip the gimbal without dropping it.
o
Once you’ve successfully gotten into the Inverted Position, simply power on the gimbal to begin using it.
o
Don’t forget to change to the correct mode for your camera size by using the joystick button.
o
After some practice you should be able to get the gimbal into the Inverted Position quickly and easily. Here is a
shortcut: grab the gimbal by the center top handle with your right hand and by the camera tray with your left.
Quickly flip the gimbal up into the inverted mode in one continuous movement. Be sure that the camera tray
clears the pan axis before attempting this.

Briefcase Position
Use this Position to get shots down low. In this position, you will be holding the gimbal at your side with one hand on the
rubber side handle.
o
To get the gimbal into the Briefcase Position, start by holding the gimbal in your hands in the Under-Slung
position with the gimbal powered off.
