After connecting to the power supply, the gimbal will perform series of alignments, self tests, which last about 5 seconds and will determine the status of the gimbal, indicated by the Status LED color. During this time, don’t touch the gimbal or camera.
Always start the gimbal with a balanced camera set up otherwise after initialization the controller will return an error followed by a red color indicator.
Make sure the Hyper Quick Release is mounted to the drone and its power port is already connected to the power supply correctly. Next, let’s mount the gimbal to the Hyper Quick Release, it will be automatically powered up.
Wait about 5 seconds, do not touch the gimbal or camera.
If the status LED is blinking green, the gimbal is ready for use. By default, the gimbal is in Follow mode if the motors are turned ON by the Function Button. Pan and tilt will hold the last orientation during turning on motor in follow mode so Tilt axis can be positioned to preferred orientation by hands.
If the status LED is solid red, something is wrong with the gimbal and motors can not start. Connect to the software/apps to check details of the error message.
