2. Getting started

2.1 Charging

Please fully charge the battery before powering on the gimbal for the first time. Charging with a USB-C cable supports quick charge with charging power ≤ 18W.

2.2 Adjust the gimbal to gimbal balancing position

The gimbal is folded by default. Please unlock all three axes and adjust the gimbal to the gimbal balancing position, then lock the three axes.

Diagram: Shows gimbal folded position and gimbal balancing position with numbered steps for unlocking/locking axes.

2.3 Using support stand

Users can unfold the built-in kickstand or install a tripod to place the gimbal on a flat surface.

Diagrams: Illustrate unfolding the kickstand and unfolding the tripod.

3. Mounting the Camera

Before mounting the camera, ensure the camera is ready for shooting (camera lens installed, lens cover removed, memory card and battery inserted, and battery fully charged). Complete all steps mentioned in chapter "2. Getting started" and ensure the gimbal is adjusted to the gimbal balancing position. Make sure the gimbal is powered off or in sleep mode before mounting the camera.

3.1 Attach the quick release plate and camera backing base(Optional)

Attach the quick release plate to the camera by tightening the screw. Users can choose to attach the camera backing base if needed (e.g., when using a long or heavy lens). Attach the camera backing base to the camera, then attach it to the quick release plate by tightening 2 screws.

Diagrams: Show attachment with quick release plate only, and with camera backing base and quick release plate.

3.2 Install lens holder (Optional)

Install the lens holder on the quick release plate if needed. The rubber of the lens holder must be directly under the lens. It is recommended to use the lens holder when using a long or heavy lens.

3.3 Mount camera on gimbal

Unlock [1], slide [2] into the slot, lock [1], loosen [3], slide [4] into the slot as indicated. Adjust the camera forward and backward until roughly balanced, then tighten [3].

Diagram: Illustrates the process of mounting the camera, showing numbered steps and adjustments. It is recommended to push the camera against the tilt axis. Unlock [1] to move the camera left or right according to the camera's width to adjust, then lock [1].

4. Gimbal Balancing

Please balance the gimbal before shooting. Ensure the camera and lens are ready for shooting, and the gimbal is powered off or in sleep mode before balancing. It is recommended to hold up the camera first, then move the slide arm, cross arm, and vertical arm.

4.1 Balancing the tilt axis

4.1.1 Balancing the vertical tilt

a. Unlock the tilt lock [30], and loosen the slide arm lock [22].

b. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing upward. Check the direction the lens tilts to.

c. If the lens tilts to one side, the camera is side-heavy. Move the slide arm [13] to the opposite direction until the camera is steady pointing upward.

d. Tighten the slide arm lock [22] while holding the camera.

4.1.2 Adjust depth for the tilt axis

a. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing forward. Check the direction the lens tilts to.

b. If the lens tilts to one side, the camera is side-heavy. Unlock the quick release plate lock [14] and then move the quick release plate [18] to the opposite direction until the camera is steady pointing forward.

c. Lock the quick release plate lock [14] while holding the camera.

The tilt axis is balanced when the camera is steady while tilted up or down by 45°.

Diagram: Shows adjustments for tilt axis balancing.

4.2 Balancing the roll axis

a. Unlock the roll lock [28], check the direction the camera tilts to.

b. If the camera tilts to one side, the camera is side-heavy. Loosen the cross arm lock knob [25] and then move the cross arm [26] to the opposite direction until the camera stays still and horizontal to the ground.

c. Tighten the cross arm lock knob [25].

The roll axis is balanced when the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.

Diagram: Shows adjustments for roll axis balancing.

4.3 Balancing the pan axis

a. Unlock the pan lock [40]. Hold the tripod, and tilt the gimbal forward until it is horizontal to the ground.

b. If the camera tilts to one side, the camera is side-heavy. Loosen the vertical arm lock knob [38] and then move the vertical arm [16] to the opposite direction until the camera stays still and horizontal to the ground.

c. Tighten the vertical arm lock knob [38].

The pan axis is balanced when the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.

Diagram: Shows adjustments for pan axis balancing.

4.4 Using the memory slider

The Feiyu SCORP comes with a memory slider to make balancing easier. After balancing the gimbal, move the memory slider to the hole in the axis and make the red dot on the memory slider expose from the hole to mark the current position. Next time, if the objects mounted are the same, users can just move the axis to the position where the red dot exposes from the hole to make the gimbal balanced.

Diagrams: Illustrate the memory slider and its position.
