INTRODUCTION

The CGO4 is an independent high end professional all in one gimbal camera module, 

specially developed for professional users who require ultra-high aerial imaging quality 

and resolution. The dream of a ight adjustable, 3-axis stabilized, m4/3 inch sensor, aerial 

capturing system is now a reality.

CGO4 incorporates a true Panasonic GH4 camera with a 3x optical zoom lens and an 

integrated 5.8GHz video link module all housed in purpose designed casing. It can be 

installed on both the TORNADO H920 copter and the ProActionTM ground SteadyGrip 

system. All the regular Panasonic GH4 camera settings can be freely and remotely adjusted 

through Yuneec ST24 transmitter which totally transforms and reshapes the boundaries of 

aerial imaging creation. Through the user friendly control app interface in the ST24, the 

CGO4 becomes an incredible tool to realize the highest level of aerial photographic and 

video graphic imagery.

camera lens will trim itself down. If K1 is 

rotated to the right, the camera lens will 

trim itself to the right. If K1 is rotated to the

GIMBAL CONTROL ON PROACTIONTM

There are two modes to control the gimbal through ProActionTM: Follow Mode and Global 

Mode.

Switch on the ProActionTM on a at and stable surface. Do not move, sway or shake the 

ProActionTM during initialization. After initialization, the gimbal will boot up normally in 

either Follow or Global Mode, depending on user settings on the left-hand switches of the 

ProActionTM. Once the gimbal is on, it begins an automatic self-check by rotating about 

the yaw axis. At this time, the power indicator will be on as well. At the same time the 

control status LED will blink green and blue alternately. 

( SINGLE MODE )
When the self-check (start-up) process has been completed, the Control Cue Light will 

grow solid blue. The user can switch freely between Follow Mode and Global Mode 

without powering off the gimbal. 

In Follow Mode, the camera lens moves in the direction of ProActionTM. The user can only 

manipulate the pitch direction through Gimbal Control Stick on the right.

If the Gimbal Control Stick moves upward, the camera lens will trim itself up. If the Gimbal 

Control Stick moves downward, the camera lens will trim itself down.

NOTICE: In Follow Mode, the camera lens will move in the direction of the gimbal. At this 

time, the gimbal will take control of itself in the Yaw direction and the user can only 

control the gimbal in the Pitch direction.

NOTICE: The yaw axis inside the gimbal will rotate in the direction of ProActionTM Frame. 

Any manipulation in the yaw direction is invalid, in other words, the user can only control 

the Pitch direction.

GLOBAL MODE

In Global Mode, the camera lens sticks to a xed direction instead of following the movement of the ProActionTM Frame. The user can control the Yaw and Pitch direction through 

Gimbal Control Stick.

If the Gimbal Control Stick moves upward, the camera lens will trim itself up. If the Gimbal 

Control Stick moves downward, the camera lens will trim itself down. If the Gimbal Control 

Stick turns right, the camera lens will trim itself to the right. If the Gimbal Control Stick 

turns left, the camera lens will trim itself to the left.

FOLLOW MODE

Grip the left and right handles of the ProActionTM with both hands. The Power and Mode 

Selection Switch is on the left side, while the Gimbal Control Stick is on the right side.

NOTICE: Once the ProActionTM is started up, no matter which mode it is in, the default 

mode is Double Hands Operating. The Control Status Indicator on center carrying handle 

will be solid red. The user can ONLY take control of the gimbal through Gimbal Control 

Stick on the right side.

DOUBLE HANDS OPERATING METHOD

In the Follow Mode, the camera lens tracks the ProActionTM in Yaw axis. The user can only 

control the Pitch direction through Gimbal Control Stick on the right. Move the Gimbal 

Control Stick upward to trim the camera lens up. Move the Gimbal Control Stick downward to trim the camera lens down.

In the Global Mode, the camera lens does not move in the direction of the ProActionTM 

Frame but sticks to a xed direction. The user can control both the Yaw and Pitch directions

through Gimbal Control Stick. Move the Gimbal Control Stick upward/downward to trim

the camera lens up/down. Move the Gimbal Control Stick to the left/right to trim the 

camera lens left/right.

DOUBLE HANDS OPERATING
NOTICE: When in the Follow Mode,the Gimbal Control Stick can't control the CGO4 in 

Yaw axis. When in the Global Mode, the Gimbal Control Stick can control the CGO4 in

Pitch and Yaw axes.

SINGLE HAND OPERATING

Lift the center carrying handle with one hand. When holding the ProActionTM with singlehand,press and hold the Function Switch Button in the rear of the Pitch Control Wheel. 

The Control Status Indicator will glow solid blue when successfully switched.The control 

has been switched to the Pitch Control Wheel on the center carrying handle. The Gimbal 

Control Stick on the right side of the ProActionTM is disabled in Pitch direction.

NOTICE: When the user holds the ProActionTM with single hand in the Global Mode, the 

user can control the camera in the Yaw direction through the Gimbal Control Stick.

SINGLE HAND OPERATING METHOD

Roll the Pitch Control Wheel forward to move the camera pitch/angle downward, and roll

the Pitch Control Wheel backward to move the camera pitch/angle upward.

ANGLE LIMITS

When operating the ProActionTM, it is suggested to hold it horizontally for better photography experience, or at least to make sure the roll angle is less than 40 degree.
