Notes:
- Fully charge the NANO SE before first use. Disconnect the charger once charging is complete.
- Unlock the phone holder, install the phone, and then turn on the NANO SE.
- If the battery indicator shows only 1 bar, charge the unit promptly.
- The NANO SE is not waterproof. Avoid exposure to liquids and wet hands. Clean with a soft, dry cloth.
- For long-term storage, turn off the NANO SE and charge/discharge it every 3 months to maintain battery activity.
- If not used for over 10 days, discharge the battery to 40%-65% for storage to extend battery life. Avoid storing a fully discharged battery to prevent core damage.
- The NANO SE is a high-precision device; drops or impacts can cause damage and functional issues.
- Ensure no objects obstruct the gimbal's rotation after powering on.
Unfold and Unlock NANO SE
Unfold the NANO SE as shown in the diagrams (not provided). Adjust the angle as needed for shooting.
Turn the phone clip clockwise 90° to unlock the roll motor.
Install and Balance the Phone
With the NANO SE powered off, open the phone clip and install your phone. Position the clip near the center of the phone.
Adjust the phone's position in the clip to balance it for both portrait and landscape orientations. Maintaining balance is crucial for stabilization and battery efficiency.
Attention:
- Install the phone before powering on the gimbal. Phone balance significantly affects battery life. Slight imbalance may allow operation but reduces stabilization and increases power consumption.
- The roll axis can rotate up to 270°. Exceeding this limit may cause damage.
- If the phone is not detected, the NANO SE may vibrate slightly and enter standby mode. Short press the power button after installing the phone to resume normal operation.
- The phone clip is designed to prevent accidental clamping.
