AOCHUAN Smart P2 Magnetic Gimbal Stabilizer Instruction Manual

Introduction

The AOCHUAN Smart P2 is a versatile magnetic gimbal stabilizer designed for smartphones, including iPhones. It features a 2-in-1 fill light and an AI tracking sensor for hands-free operation. With its 3-axis stabilization and built-in extension rod, it enhances video recording for various scenarios. The device offers multiple mounting options and intelligent tracking capabilities without requiring an app for basic face tracking.

1. Installation et utilisation initiale

1.1 Déploiement du cardan

Upon receiving the device, install the included tripod onto the base of the gimbal. Place the gimbal on a flat surface. Hold the device with both hands and unfold the arm upwards until it forms a "7" shape facing you. Rotate the phone clamp counter-clockwise to unlock it. Ensure the camera logo on the clamp is in the top-left corner.

1.2 Phone Mounting Methods

The Smart P2 supports three methods for mounting your smartphone:

1. Support magnétique : If your phone supports MagSafe, attach it directly to the gimbal's magnetic mount.
2. Magnetic Ring Mount: For non-MagSafe phones, use the included magnetic ring kit. Measure your phone's center using the guide card (total width ÷ 2). Clean the back of the phone with the alcohol pad, then apply the magnetic ring to the measured center. After attaching the ring, mount the phone magnetically to the gimbal.
3. Téléphone Clamp Monter: Tirez le clamp open and place the phone at the center. Adjust left or right for balance if needed. Ensure the phone back rests flush against the clamp.

Remarque importante sur la sécurité :

• For heavy phones or intense movements, use the magnetic ring or clamp pour éviter les chutes accidentelles.
• Do not use ring holders or non-standard magnetic mounts/cases. For safety, remove the phone case, apply the official magnetic ring, or use the clamp.

  Note:

  • Body tracking is suitable for long-distance tracking.
  • When using this mode, do not stand too close to the phone to avoid interference with recognition, which may cause the device to rotate improperly.
• Suivi d'objet : Select Object Tracking mode, then use your finger to draw a frame around the object you want to track on the phone screen. The device will then automatically track the selected object.
• Other APP Tracking: For third-party app tracking, you can choose to use either the front or rear camera. Tap to select the tracking platform (e.g., TikTok, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram). If you want to use the native camera or any other app for tracking, select "Other." Click "Start Live," and this will open the phone's home screen, allowing you to launch any app for intelligent tracking. Once inside, triple-click the stabilizer's shooting button to enable tracking. Triple-click again to disable tracking.

3. Stockage

To store the gimbal, first power off the device and remove your phone. Adjust the gimbal so the arm is rotated to the left and the power button faces yourself. Lock the phone clamp by turning it clockwise. Fold the tilt arm down so the tilt axis notch clicks into the pan axis notch. This compacts the gimbal for easy storage.
