The SteadyGrip™ features a camera pitch controller that allows precise camera
angle control on the go. Simply 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. Please review
these instrucons along with the
illustraons to familiarize yourself
on how to control the CGO2-GB
with your SteadyGrip™.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You cannot take sll photos while recording video. You MUST
stop recording video in order to take sll photos.
2) To start/stop recording video simply press the red buon located on the APP.
You’ll hear an audible indicaon from the APP each me the recording starts/stops.
And while video is recording the LED indicator on the front of the CGO2-GB will

stream will be lowest at 48 and 50 as compared to 60 frames per second.
The pitch control wheel, (similar to a scroll wheel on a tradional computer mouse)
located on the top of the SteadyGrip™ allows you to set the pitch/lt posion of
the CGO2-GB from approximately straight ahead (when the pitch control wheel is
rolled backward toward the user to its maximum posion) to approximately straight
down (when the pitch control wheel is rolled out away from you unl its maximum
posion). And you can easily set a posion in between by adjusng the pitch
control wheel accordingly. According to Figure 9a on page 9.
QUICK TIP: There’s an adjustable counterbalance located on the rear of the
CGO2-GB. This counterbalance has been adjusted at the factory to provide the
best balance and performance overall so typically it should NOT need to be
adjusted. However, if you find that the CGO2-GB is making any ‘buzzing’ sounds
while powered on, carefully twist the counterbalance in or out unl the sound
stops in order to achieve the best balance, performance and photo/video quality.

Lithium lon baeries are not toys. For the purpose of the document Li-lon, Li-Po,
Li-Fe, NiCd or NiMH baeries will be described as "Baeries".
Handling and Storage:
● Never alter, puncture or impact Baeries or related components.
● Do not directly connect the terminals with metal objects. This will short-circuit
Baeries, resulng in heat and electrical discharge.
● Never store loose Baeries together, the Baeries' terminals may contact one
another causing a short circuit.
● Never expose Baeries to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight.
● Always disconnect Baeries when not in use.
