4. Balancing the Gimbal

After mounting your smartphone, manually adjust its position within the clamp to achieve a balanced state. The phone should remain level when released, without tilting heavily to one side. Proper balancing ensures optimal performance and extends battery life.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off

• To power on: Press and hold the power button for a few seconds until the indicator light illuminates.
• To power off: Press and hold the power button again until the indicator light turns off.

2. Joystick Control

Use the integrated joystick to control the gimbal's movement. Push the joystick in different directions to pan (horizontal rotation) and tilt (vertical rotation) the smartphone smoothly. This allows for precise framing and dynamic shots.

3. Function Buttons

The gimbal features various function buttons for additional control. Refer to the markings on your specific device for their exact functions, which typically include mode switching (e.g., follow mode, lock mode), recentering, or photo/video capture (if connected via an app, though not explicitly stated for this model).

4. Stabilization Axes

The SLF-10B provides 3-axis stabilization:

• Panoramic (Pan) Axis: 330° rotation for horizontal movement.
• Tilt Axis: 330° rotation for vertical movement.
• Roll Axis: 180° rotation for maintaining a level horizon.

Maintenance

Cleaning

Wipe the gimbal with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the device. Keep the gimbal free from dust and debris.

Storage

Store the gimbal in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures (operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C). If storing for extended periods, ensure the battery is partially charged (around 50%) to prolong its lifespan.

Troubleshooting

• Gimbal not powering on: Ensure the battery is fully charged. If the issue persists, try using a different USB charging cable and power adapter.
• Gimbal not stabilizing correctly: Verify that your smartphone is properly mounted and balanced before powering on the gimbal. Ensure no obstructions are blocking the gimbal's motors.
• Unresponsive controls: Check if the gimbal is powered on. If buttons or the joystick are unresponsive, power off the gimbal, wait a few seconds, and power it back on.
• Unusual motor noise: This may indicate improper balancing or an overloaded motor. Re-balance your smartphone or ensure its weight does not exceed 458g.
