Setup

1. Charging the Gimbal

Before first use, fully charge the gimbal. Connect the provided Type-C charging cable to the gimbal's charging port and a 5V 2A power adapter (not included). The battery indicator will show charging status. A full charge provides approximately 6 hours of runtime.

2. Attaching the Mini Tripod

Screw the mini tripod onto the 1/4-inch screw hole at the bottom of the gimbal handle. Ensure it is securely fastened for stable placement on flat surfaces.

3. Mounting Your Smartphone

1. Unfold the gimbal to its operational position.
2. Extend the phone clamp and carefully place your smartphone into the clamp.
3. Ensure the phone is centered and balanced within the clamp to prevent strain on the motors. The mounting clamp supports phones with a range of 50mm-90mm width and thickness less than 11mm.
4. For optimal performance, balance the phone manually before powering on the gimbal.

3. Gimbal Modes

The M02 gimbal supports seven distinct modes to cater to various shooting scenarios:

• Semi Follow Mode: The gimbal follows your pan movements while keeping the tilt and roll axes locked.
• Full Follow Mode: The gimbal follows both your pan and tilt movements.
• Fully Locked Mode: All three axes are locked, maintaining the camera's orientation regardless of gimbal movement.
• POV Mode (Point of View): All three axes follow your movements, providing a dynamic first-person perspective.
• Inception Space Mode: Allows for a 360° rotation along the roll axis, creating a spinning effect.
• Semi-Follow Go Mode: A faster semi-follow mode for quick transitions.
• Full Follow Go Mode: A faster full-follow mode for dynamic shots.

Refer to the specific app instructions for how to switch between these modes.

4. Detachable Remote Control

The detachable remote control allows for convenient remote operation of the gimbal, attaching magnetically to the handle.

The M02 features a detachable remote control for convenient one-handed operation from a distance of up to 10 meters. To use, ensure the remote is charged and paired with the gimbal (refer to the app's pairing instructions). The remote mirrors the main controls on the gimbal handle.

Maintenance
