The SteadyGripTM is a ground handle designed to extend the GoPro® camera from 

the sky to the ground, allowing you to capture amazing action shots easier than 

ever before. The camera pitch controller allows precise camera angle control on the 

go using your mobile device as a display. The SteadyGrip's ergonomic design is 

capable of holding up to a 6.4 inch mobile device.

The GB203 is a 3-Axis brushless self-stabilizing gimbal, compatible with GoPro® 

Hero 3, Hero 3+, Hero 4 Black and Hero 4 Silver, extending the use of the GoPro® 

Camera to capture smooth and fluid photographs and video footage on the ground, 

and amazing video footage in the sky as well.

CAMERA CONTROL

Please be sure to set photo or video mode for GoPro® Camera BEFORE installing 

it into the GB203. Any operation related to camera controls should be referred to 

and downloaded according to the official website of GoPro®. GoPro® requires 

APP to take photos and record videos.

NOTICE: MK58 is for long-distance real-time image transmission when installing 

it on the aircraft.

SWITCHING THE MODE

There are two modes of Pitch Follow Mode and Angle Mode. 

Pitch Follow Mode allows the gimbal camera to track SteadyGrip in pitch 

direction. The Main Status LED indicator will be solid green.

In Angle Mode, the camera lens sticks to a fixed direction instead of following the 

movement of the SteadyGrip. The user can control the Pitch Direction through 

pitch control roller wheel.

NOTICE: The default mode of SteadyGrip is Pitch Follow Mode.

To Enter Angle Mode:

Press the Mode Switch Button on the top of the SteadyGrip to exit the Pitch 

Follow mode. The Main Status LED indicator will blink GREEN. The SteadyGrip 

will enter Angle Mode.

To Enter Pitch Follow Mode:

Press Mode Switch Button again to enter Pitch Follow Mode. The Main Status 

LED indicator will be solid green.

NOTE: When SteadyGripTM is in Pitch Follow status, the gimbal camera tracks 

SteadyGripTM in pitch direction, and the gimbal pitch control roller wheel on 

SteadyGripTM is disabled.

WARNING: procedures, which if not properly followed, create the probability of 

property damage, collateral damage and serious injury or create a high probability 

of superficial injury. 

Failure to exercise care while using this product and comply with the following 

conditions and guidance could result in product malfunction, excessive heat, fire, 

property damage, and ultimately injury. 

Lithium lon batteries are not toys. For the purpose of the document Li-lon, Li-Po, 

Li-Fe, NiCd or NiMH batteries will be described as "Batteries". 

Handling and Storage:

● Never alter, puncture or impact Batteries or related components. 

● Do not directly connect the terminals with metal objects. This will short-circuit 

Batteries, resulting in heat and electrical discharge. 

● Never store loose Batteries together, the Batteries' terminals may contact one 

another causing a short circuit. 

● Never expose Batteries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.

● Always disconnect Batteries when not in use. 

Before the First Charge:

● Ensure batteries are not damaged, as this may cause a short circuit of fire. Charging

● Always refer to your charger's manual to ensure safe operation. 

● Always charge Batteries in an open area away from flammable materials, liquids and surfaces. 

● Never charge Batteries that are hot to the touch (above 120°F) 

If at any time Batteries become damaged, hot, or begin to balloon or swell, 

discontinue charging (or discharging) immediately. Quickly and safely disconnect 

the charger. Then place the Batteries and/or charger in a safe, open area away from 

flammable materials in an approved Li-Po bag to observe. After one hour, remove 

the Batteries from service. DO NOT continue to handle, attempt to use, or ship the 

Batteries. Failure to follow these procedures can cause damage to Batteries, 

personal property or cause serious injury. 

Damaged or swollen Batteries can be unstable and very hot. DO NOT touch 

batteries until they have cooled. Dispose of batteries in the manner required by 

your city, county, state or country. Contact the appropriate Yuneec Product 

Support Office to speak to a service technician for more information. 

In the event of fire, a Class D, dry chemical fire extinguisher must be used then 

batteries must be placed inside of an approved Li-Po bag. 

Additional Guidelines and Warnings:

● In the event of a crash, always quickly and safely disconnect and remove Batteries 

from the model. Then follow the previously listed safety procedures. 

● If the internal contents of Batteries come into contact with your skin, wash the 

affected area(s) with soap and water immediately. If it comes into contact with your 

eye(s), flush them with generous amounts of water for 15 minutes and seek 

immediately medical attention.
