### Gimbal Operation Modes Three Gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the Camera page of the DJI Pilot App. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote controllerfor changes to take effect. Referto thetable belowfor details:

1*1**~** Pitch

Follow Mode

FPV Mode Pan

The angle between Gimbal's orientation and aircraft's nose remains constant at all times. One user alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. The Gimbal will lock to the movements of the aircraft to provide a FirstPerson-Viewflying experience. The Gimbal's motion is independent ofthe aircraft's orientation. One user Free Mode alone can control the pitch motion of the Gimbal, but a second user is required to control the pan motion using a second remote controller. Tap to force the Gimbal orientation to re-align with aircraft's orientation**~** Re-alignment by panning from gimbal's current orientation. Pitch angle will remain unchanged during the re-alignment. 

## & • Gimbal motor error may occur in these situations: (1) Gimbal is placed on uneven ground. (2) Gimbal has received an excessive external force, e.g. a collision. Please take offfrom flat, open ground and protectthe gimbal after powering up. • Flying in heavy fog or cloud may make the gimbal wet, leading to a temporary failure. The

gimbal will recover when it driesout.

All restricted areas are listed on the DJI official website at http://www.dji.com/fly-safe/category-mc. Restricted areas are divided into category A and category B. Category A areas cover major international airport such as LAX and Heathrow, while category B areas includes smaller airports. CategoryA SafetyZone (1) The category A "safety zone" is comprised of a small "no-fly zone" and a range of "restrictedaltitude zones". Right is prevented in the "no-fly zone" but can continue with height restrictions in the restricted-altitude zone. (2) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) around a designated safety zone is a no-flyzone, inside which takeoff is prevented. (3) 1.5 miles (2.4 km) to 5 miles (8
