1. With your device mounted, hold the gimbal horizontally.
2. Adjust the position of the device within the clamp until it remains level without assistance.
3. If using a large or heavy smartphone, you may need to attach the provided counterweights to achieve proper balance. Experiment with the placement of the counterweights until the device is stable in all axes (tilt, roll, pan) when the gimbal is off.
4. Once balanced, the device should not tilt or roll on its own.

5. Istruzioni per l'uso

5.1. Accensione/Spegnimento

• Per accendere: Press and hold the power button (usually located on the handle) for a few seconds until the indicator light illuminates and the motors activate.
• Per spegnere: Press and hold the power button again until the indicator light turns off and the motors cease operation.

Importante: Always ensure your device is properly mounted and balanced before powering on the gimbal.

5.2. Funzionamento di base

Once powered on, the gimbal will automatically stabilize your device. The 3-axis stabilization system will keep your camera level and smooth out movements as you walk, run, or move.

• Pan Following Mode: The gimbal typically defaults to a pan-following mode, where the camera smoothly follows your horizontal (pan) movements while keeping the tilt and roll axes stable.
• Inclinazione e rollio: The gimbal's motors actively counteract unwanted tilt and roll movements, ensuring your footage remains level.
• Controllo del movimento: Gently move the gimbal handle to control the direction of your camera. Avoid sudden, jerky movements.

Refer to the specific button layout on your gimbal for any additional modes or controls (e.g., joystick for manual pan/tilt, mode switch). These functions vary by specific model revisions.
