BOX CONTENTS
First steps:
1. Follow the instruction how to mount the camera on the Gimbal.
2. Ensure that all three axes are well balanced; refer to the video how to balance the gimbal correctly.
3. Hold the device with mounted camera straight up and power on the system (red button)
4. Initialization of the gimbal will be indicated by the beep tone sequence.
a.System is ready to use – Follow mode is active (Modes will be indicated by the LED flash light.)
i.Mode 1: Follow Mode – Green LED is flashing once
ii.Mode 2: Tilt Lock Mode – Green LED is flashing twice in a row
iii.Mode 3: Lock Mode – Green LED is flashing 3 x times in a row
.
5Make some moves with the gimbal in each direction to see whether it works or not.
If not, figure out below which problem are you facing in:
1
Roll motor is not horizontal levelled
Please make a Gyro & ACC calibration
described in the user manual.
2
The system starts vibrating while
moving the gimbal 90° forward
(brief case position)
Figure out which motor is causing the vibrations, in this case it is most likely
caused by the Pitch motor. If so decrease the D-value of the Pitch slightly or
change Motor power value of Pitch.
3
Pitch motor is suddenly missing steps
while moving up or down.
Ensure proper balancing of the camera.
Increase motor power of Pitch motor.
4
System starts vibrating while moving
Figure out which motor is causing the vibrations, and decrease the D-value of
the related axes or change Motor power value of related axes.
5
System is slightly drifting on the yaw
axis.
Poor Gyro calibration of Frame IMU.
Frame IMU needs to be re-calibrated.
Note: Frame IMU must be calibrated via SimpleBGC Software installed on
your PC, MAC or Android App (SimpleBGC32)
6
While moving forward (brief case
position) roll axis keeps not straight and
is moving slightly to left or right.
Poor ACC & Gyro calibration of Camera IMU. Please make a Gyro & ACC
calibration described on item xx
7
System is flattering in each direction.
8
System starts beeping continuously.
Check battery level. Battery might be exhausted. Charge battery or connect
the external battery.
9
System starts beeping and battery is
fully charged.
10
Roll axes hanging at one side, while
turning around 180° the Roll axis is in
level.
11
Roll and pitch not in level even after
ACC & Gyro calibration
Verify in the RC –Tab of the SimpleBGC GUI the “Initial angle” of each axes.
Initial angle need to be set to “0”.
Note: Operations like “Set tilt angles by hands”, “Swap RC Roll-Yaw” or
“Swap RC Pitch – Roll” will save their angles to this field, too.
1. Invert Mode: Turn the camera around, that handle is above the camera, place camera in position and power on
device. System will auto detect invert mode.
2. Swap RC Pitch Roll: You can use this mode as Mode 4 (Profile 4). Activate this at Service Menu Menu button
first. While pressing the Mode button 4 times you are able to switch the RC control for Pitch to Roll axes and vice
versa. Changes like this will change the initial angle in the RC tab. Please refer to item 11 in the above table.
How to reset and re-calibrate IMU sensors. How to calibrate the battery.
Video
Wrong Motor setup. Hold the gimbal steady and start
“Auto” for the Motors in the Basic Tab of SimpleBGC
GUI. Ensure that all motor poles are set to “14”. After
that perform a calibration for Camera and Frame IMU
sensors.
Check battery level in the SimpleBGC GUI on the right
bottom corner. Battery calibration might be necessary.
Please follow the instruction for battery calibration.
Camera IMU Sensor not in level. Remove IMU sensor
and add a small adhesive tape at the screw hole side.
Assemble it again to the Gimbal and perform a ACC &
Gyro calibration again as described in the user manual.
