The gimbal is folded by default. Unlock all three axes to bring it to the gimbal balancing position, then re-lock the axes.

3. Mounting the Shooting Equipment

Ensure mounted equipment and accessories are within load requirements. Refer to the compatibility list at https://www.feiyu-tech.com/feiyu-scorp-c-2/down.html.

Before mounting, ensure the camera is ready (lens attached, lens cover removed, memory card and battery inserted, battery fully charged). Complete "2. Getting started" steps and ensure the gimbal is powered off or in sleep mode.

3.1 Attach the upper quick release plate

Attach the upper quick release plate to the camera by tightening the screw. If the camera lacks a 1/4-20 inch screw hole, use a mount adapter.

3.2 Mounting fixed plate

  1. Unlock the fixed plate lock.
  2. Slide the fixed plate into the slot.
  3. Lock the fixed plate lock.

3.3 Mounting quick release plate

  1. Unlock the quick release plate lock.
  2. Slide the quick release plate into the slot.
  3. Lock the quick release plate lock.

Use the balancing knob to fine-tune the position of the quick release plate.

3.4 Mount camera on gimbal

  1. Unlock the upper quick release plate lock.
  2. Slide the camera (mounted on the upper quick release plate) into the slot.
  3. Lock the upper quick release plate lock.

3.5 Install lens holder (Optional)

Install the lens holder on the quick release plate if needed, ensuring the rubber is directly under the lens. It is recommended for long or heavy lenses.

4. Gimbal Balancing

Balance the gimbal before shooting. Ensure the camera and lens are ready, and the gimbal is powered off or in sleep mode.

It is recommended to hold the camera first, then adjust the slide arm, cross arm, and vertical arm.

4.1 Balancing the tilt axis

4.1.1 Balancing the vertical tilt

Unlock motor lock A; lock motor locks B and C. Point the camera lens upward and observe its tilt direction.

  1. Unlock the fixed plate lock.
  2. Move the camera opposite its tilt until the lens remains perfectly vertically upward.
  3. Lock the fixed plate lock, supporting the camera upward from below to ensure proper fixation.

If the camera remains stationary at a tilt angle of about ±45°, the tilt axis is balanced.

4.1.2 Adjust depth for the tilt axis

Keep motor lock A unlocked; motor locks B and C locked. Place the camera lens pointing horizontally forward and observe its tilt direction.

  1. Unlock the quick release plate lock.
  2. Move the camera opposite its tilt and use the balancing knob to fine-tune until the lens remains horizontally forward.
  3. Lock the quick release plate lock, supporting the camera upward from below to ensure proper fixation.

If the camera remains stationary at a tilt angle of about ±45°, the tilt axis is balanced.

4.2 Balancing the roll axis

Unlock motor lock B; lock motor locks A and C. Observe the camera's swing direction.

  1. Unlock the cross arm lock.
  2. Move the camera opposite its swing until the cross arm remains level.
  3. Lock the cross arm lock.

If the camera remains stationary at a horizontal angle, the roll axis is balanced.

4.3 Balancing the pan axis

Unlock motor lock C; lock motor locks A and B. Hold the handle and tilt the gimbal about 45°, rotate pan axis until parallel with ground, then observe the camera's swing direction.

  1. Unlock the vertical arm lock.
  2. Move the vertical arm opposite its swing until the vertical arm remains level.
  3. Lock the vertical arm lock.

If the camera remains stationary at a horizontal angle, the pan axis is balanced.

5. Power ON/OFF

Before powering on, ensure the gimbal is balanced and all three axes are unlocked. If axes are not unlocked, the gimbal enters sleep mode for protection. Single tap the power button to wake it from sleep mode.

Important: Set motor power first after powering on the gimbal for the first time or after changing a camera/lens.

To power on/off, long press the power button and release it when you hear the beep sound.
