RESETTING THE GIMBAL GYRO
If there is a large change in temperature (extreme cold /extreme hot), then there may be some gyro drift, causing the gimbal
to slowly rotate without any signal input. If so the gyro should be reset.
Taking a FUTABA RC transmitter as an example, place the gimbal on a fully static table or on the ground, bring the throttle to
the bottom. Now move the gimbal motors and let them stop in any position. The gimbal should remain fully static. Now start
the gyro reset operation. Here we are using the Japanese stick-mode as an example (Mode 3)
Pull the rudder to the left and elevator to the bottom and the aileron to the right and throttle to the bottom as in the figure
(move the sticks in a “/
\"-shape if your stick-
mode is Japanese or American style, move the sticks in a “V”
- shape if your
stick-mode is Chinese or European style), then release the sticks after holding for a half-second. This will automatically start
to reset the gyro (keep the camera in an absolutely static state during the gyro reset process) After 3 seconds, the gyro reset
will be completed. Now manually keep the camera upright and gently push the throttle to its maximum value to initiate
stabilisation.
