Troubleshooting
- Gimbal Vibration: If the gimbal vibrates, it may be due to the phone exceeding the angle limit of the three gimbal axes. This is a normal phenomenon. Reposition the gimbal and double-click the joystick to reset and use it normally.
- Phone Not Balancing: Ensure your phone is centered and securely mounted in the clip. Adjust its position left or right until it remains stable when the gimbal is off.
- Connection Issues: Verify that Bluetooth is enabled on your phone and the gimbal is powered on. Restart both devices and the AOCHUAN app if connection problems persist.
- App Features Not Working: Ensure you have the latest version of the AOCHUAN app installed. Check app permissions on your phone to ensure it has access to necessary functions like camera and Bluetooth.
