| PROBLEM |
POSSIBLE CAUSES |
SOLUTION |
| Status LED is blinking red |
Low battery |
Recharge battery |
| Status LED is solid red during startup |
Camera is not balanced well or not installed |
Check camera balancing |
| IMU cable is loose |
Check in software for IMU sensor error, re-seat IMU sensor connector |
| Tilt motor cable or encoder cable is loose |
Check in software for Tilt error, re-seat tilt motor connector and encoder connector |
| Roll motor cable or encoder cable is loose |
Check in software for Roll error, re-connect roll motor connector and encoder cable |
| Pan motor cable or encoder cable is loose |
Check in software for Pan error, re-connect pan motor connector and encoder cable |
| Status LED is solid red during operation |
IMU sensor cable is loose |
Re-seat IMU sensor connector |
| Status LED is solid white after start up |
Excessive gyro drift |
Re-calibrate |
| Gremsy S1 has oscillation in one or more axes |
Stiffness setting is too high |
Reduce stiffness |
| Thumbscrew/top bar nut is not tightened |
Check tightening |
| Camera mounting is not stiff enough |
Check camera mounting |
| Filters settings are incorrect: Gyro and output filter should only be changed if other methods of reducing oscillation have failed |
Please read more in manual about Gyro filter and output filter (Advanced settings) |
| Gremsy gimbal seems to be drifting |
Gyro sensor is drifting too much |
Re-calibrate gyro |
| Motors seem to be weak |
Stiffness is too low |
Increase stiffness |
| Auto-power adjustment is not enabled |
Check in Expert menu if Auto-power adjustment is enabled or not |
| Footage appears to wobble side to side or up and down |
Camera is not properly balanced |
Check camera balance |
| Stiffness setting is low |
Increase stiffness settings, start with the axis which is poorly stabilized. Higher Stiffness will achieve better stabilization. The tuning process is described in the user manual. |
