Pitch Yaw

 Follow Mode 

The gimbal’s orientation is aligned with the aircraft’s nose. One 

user alone can control the pitch motion of the gimbal, but a second 

operator is required to control the yaw motion using a second remote 

controller.

FPV Mode The Gimbal will lock to the movement of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-View fying experience. 

Free Mode

The Gimbal’s motion is independent of the aircraft’s orientation. One 

user alone can control the pitch motion of the gimbal, but a second 

user is required to control the yaw motion using a second remote 

controller. 

Re-alignment Re-align the yaw angle of the gimbal with that of the aircraft. The pitch 

angle remains unchanged during the re-alignment.

A gimbal motor error may occur if the gimbal is placed on an uneven ground because 

of impact with ground objects. Be sure to take off from a fat, open ground to protect the 

gimbal from impact.

Flying in heavy fog or inside clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary 

failure. The gimbal will recover when it dries out.

Gimbal Operation Modes
