4. Setup

4.1 Attaching the Tripod

Screw the included tripod onto the 1/4-inch thread at the bottom of the gimbal handle. Ensure it is securely tightened.

4.2 Mounting the Camera

1. Attach the quick release plate to the bottom of your camera using the camera fixing screw.
2. Slide the quick release plate with the camera into the gimbal's mounting slot until it locks into place.
3. If using a long lens, attach the lens support to prevent strain on the camera mount.

4.3 Balancing the Gimbal

Proper balancing is crucial for optimal performance and battery life. Follow these steps for each axis:

1. Tilt Axis (Vertical): Unlock the tilt axis. Adjust the camera's position forward or backward on the quick release plate until the lens stays level when tilted up or down. Tighten the lock.
2. Tilt Axis (Horizontal): Unlock the tilt axis. Adjust the vertical arm up or down until the camera remains stable when tilted left or right. Tighten the lock.
3. Roll Axis: Unlock the roll axis. Adjust the horizontal arm left or right until the camera remains level without tilting to either side. Tighten the lock.
4. Pan Axis: Unlock the pan axis. Hold the gimbal horizontally and adjust the pan arm until the gimbal remains stable without rotating. Tighten the lock.

After balancing, the camera should remain in any position you place it without drifting.

4.4 Connecting the Camera

Use the appropriate camera control cable (Type-C to Type-C) to connect your camera to the gimbal. This enables camera control via the gimbal's handle and touchscreen.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Power On/Off

Press and hold the power button on the handle to turn the gimbal on or off. Ensure all axes are unlocked before powering on.

5.2 Gimbal Modes

The SCORP 3 offers various operating modes, accessible via the touchscreen or mode button:

• Pan Follow (PF): The camera pans left/right following your hand movements, while tilt and roll axes are locked.
• Tilt Lock (TL): The camera maintains its tilt angle, while pan and roll axes follow your movements.
• All Lock (AL): All three axes are locked, keeping the camera pointed in a fixed direction.
• Flash Mode (F): Quick response for fast-moving shots.
• POV Mode: All three axes follow your movements, providing a first-person perspective.

5.3 Using the AI Tracking Module

The integrated AI tracking module allows for intelligent subject tracking:

1. Activate AI tracking via the touchscreen menu.
2. Use hand gestures (e.g., 'OK' gesture to start tracking, open palm to stop) to control tracking without touching the gimbal.
3. The gimbal will automatically follow the detected subject, keeping it in the frame.

5.4 Removable Handle as Wireless Remote

Detach the handle to use it as a wireless remote control:

1. Press the release button to detach the handle.
2. The detached handle can control gimbal movements, camera settings, and AI tracking from up to 12 meters away.

5.5 Touchscreen and Multifunction Knob

• Touchscreen: Navigate menus, change shooting modes (time-lapse, panorama, portrait), adjust camera parameters (aperture, ISO, shutter speed), and configure tracking settings.
• Multifunction Knob: Provides precise control over focus, zoom, or axis movement for advanced shooting requirements.

5.6 A-B Point Trajectory Memory

This feature allows you to program precise, repeatable camera movements:

1. Set Point A by moving the gimbal to the desired starting position and saving it.
2. Set Point B by moving the gimbal to the desired end position and saving it.
3. The gimbal can then execute a smooth, automated movement between Point A and Point B.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

Regularly clean the gimbal with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials. For stubborn dirt, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by immediate drying.

6.2 Battery Care
