Operating Instructions

3-Axis Professional Stabilization

The M01's 3-axis anti-shake technology ensures your footage remains incredibly smooth and stable, even during dynamic movements. This is crucial for achieving cinematic-quality results, whether you're walking, running, or capturing fast-paced action.

  • Gesture Control: Use specific hand gestures (e.g., thumbs up, peace sign) to initiate a three-second countdown shot, open/close face tracking, switch video/photo modes, or toggle horizontal/vertical screens.
  • Trigger Button: Press the trigger button to lock and follow a target.

The M01 features a built-in fill light with three color temperatures (cold, natural, warm) and nine adjustable brightness levels. This allows you to enhance your videos and photos in various lighting conditions, from low-light environments to adding ambiance.

Maintenance

  • Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the gimbal. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
  • Storage: When not in use, fold the gimbal and store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
  • Battery Care: To prolong battery life, fully charge the gimbal before long periods of storage and recharge it every three months if not in regular use.

Troubleshooting

  • Gimbal Vibrates Excessively:

    Ensure your smartphone is properly balanced in the clamp. An unbalanced phone can cause the motors to overcompensate, leading to vibrations. Adjust the phone's position until it remains level when the gimbal is off.

  • Face/Object Tracking is Inconsistent:

    Ensure adequate lighting in your environment. Tracking performance can be affected by poor lighting or complex backgrounds. Also, ensure the subject is not moving too rapidly for the gimbal to maintain lock.

  • Companion App Crashes or is Unstable:

    Check for app updates in your smartphone's app store. Ensure your phone's operating system is up to date. Try restarting the app or your phone. If issues persist, reinstall the app.

  • Phone Tilts or "Flops Over":

    This often indicates improper balancing. Re-balance your phone carefully. Ensure the phone clamp is securely tightened. If using a heavier phone, ensure it is within the gimbal's maximum weight recommendation (0.61 kg / 1.34 lbs).

  • Short Battery Life:

    Ensure the gimbal is fully charged before use (approximately 3 hours for an 8-hour battery life). Battery performance can vary based on usage intensity (e.g., continuous motor movement, fill light usage). Reduce usage of the fill light if extended battery life is needed.
