Mounting in portrait mode:
Rotate the clamp by 90° to the right as
shown in the image on the right and
make sure it is in the middle of the mobile
phone.
Balancing the Phone
Unlock the roll axis arm latch and push
the arm to the left or right until the
mobile is steady and almost at level with
the ground. Then tighten the latch.
For balancing in the portrait mode, keep
the phone balanced centrally in the
phone clamp.

Installing Magnetic AI Vision Sensor
Note: Magnetic AI Vision Sensor is sold separately.
Enabling AI Tracking
Note: Magnetic AI Vision Sensor is sold separately.
•Enable the AI vision sensor by switching it to “on” position.
•Gesture control: Show gestures to the AI vision sensor from the distance between
0,5 to 1,5 metres.
•Gesture the “okay” sign to start the AI tracking (indicator light turns green).
•Wave your hand to stop the AI tracking (indicator light turns red).
•AI tracking for front/rear camera: For front camera tracking, align the magnetic AI

Note: It is completely normal for the magnetic alignment to become hot when the fill
light is in use and hence, it is advisable NOT to make a direct contact with the hot
alignment, especially the metallic part.
How to make AI vision positioning adjustments?
If the framed subject cannot be centred on the phone screen, or you want to customize
the AI vision position to be tracked:
•Make sure the gimbal and AI vision sensors are on.
•Make the “ ” gestures towards the AI vision sensor and the indicator light will
quickly blink in green colour.
•Move in front of the screen until you find the preferred position to be tracked.
•Make the “ ” gesture to lock the position and create the ideal composition
(the indicator will stop flashing).
