1.1 Introduction
1.Product Introduction
1.
Important NoteWarning
Z30UX is a high-precision 3-axis gimbal equipped with a 30x optical
zoom SONY camera and 1080p prime lens sensor. It supports
visible optical zoom, photographing and video. OSD can display the
angle of pitch & yaw, zoom times, status of record and picture mode,
also can select to turn off the OSD. When the external GPS and time
input, GPS coordinate and shooting time can be saved in image file,
OSD can display real-time & GPS as well. The 3 axis gimbal can
achieve stabilization in yaw, roll and pitch. The integrated design of
damping system and gimbal can greatly reduce mechanical
vibration.
Z30UX is widely used in UAV industries of public security, electric
power, fire fighting, zoom aerial photography and other industrial
applications.
Congratulations on purchasing your new Viewpro product. Please

2.4 Install Mounting Part
8.
(1) Find out the arrow on the gimbal which indicating the yaw
heading of the payload (i.e. the lens direction when the camera
power on), and synchronize with the direction specified by the UAV.
(2) Fix one end of the copper cylinder on the screw hole of lower
damping board, and use M3 screw to fasten it.
(3) According to the provided screw hole dimension you can make
suitable mounting holes on the UAV mounting board, and fixes the
other end of the copper cylinder on the mounting board of the UAV
(Viewport version is the same).

2.5 Viewport Release Instruction
9.
1. Make sure the two white stripes indicated in above picture are
aligned with each other. (If the stripes are not aligned to each other,
please pinch the connector part and turn it to left manually)
×

10.
2. Align the white dot (unlock icon) to the red triangle (below unlock
button), push the gimbal into the Viewport completely and then
rotate the gimbal camera anticlockwise.
3. When you hear "click" sound (when red dot is aligned to the red
triangle) means the gimbal camera and Viewport has been locked.
4. To unlock the Viewport, you need to press on unlock button and
rotate the gimbal camera clockwise till the white dot align to the red
triangle. Then pull the gimbal out from the Viewport.

2.6 Install TF Card
2.7 Image Output Interface
11.
TF (Micro SD card): Install the TF card to the card slot (Re. 2.1
Overview). Support max 128GB. Request Class 10 (10m/s) transmis-
sion speed or higher and FAT32 or exFAT format.
HDMI: no HDMI output
AV: no AV output
Network: Ethernet output interface, support RTSP/UDP video stream-
ing. Default: RTSP output, IP address: RTSP: //192.168.2.119/554,
output resolution: 720P, frame rate: 25fps, bit rate: 4M.
Make sure device is power off when inserting the TF
card, hot plugging is not supported.

3.1 PWM Control
12.
Control the gimbal camera functions by the multiplex pulse width
modulation signal outputted by PWM channel of the remote control
receiver. The camera needs up to 6 control channels of PWM (to
expand tracking function use up to 7 PWM channels). You can choose
needed functions according to actual usage to reduce the required
number of PWM channels.
PWM Connection Diagram (Connect pitch channel as
example)
3. Signal Control
When using user interface software Viewlink for
network connection, the network of external device
(computer) should be the IP address: 192.168.2.2
(choose the last byte among 2~254, can not be 160
same as the gimbal), subnet mask: 255.255.255.0,
Default gateway: 192.168.2.1, and all firewalls of the
computer must be closed. Then enter the IP address
of the gimbal camera, Open Video, the video stream
can be outputted.

lowest speed
Position 2: Middle speed mode, control pitch / yaw with this mode at
middle speed
Position 3: High speed mode, control pitch / yaw with this mode at
highest speed

3.3 S.BUS Control
19.
Connect the camera to the upper computer by USB to TTL cable
(Adopt connection method of TX to RX, RX to TX, GNG to GND at
Dupont ends of the provided USB to TTL cable, connect to the
specified TTL of the gimbal, and the USB end of the cable connect to
computer).
Control the gimbal camera functions by one combining signals.
Connect the external S.Bus to S.Bus port on the control box, and the
external S.bus signal GND connect to the GND interface of the control
box.
Wiring Diagram (Take Futaba remote control for example):
Install Viewlink control software to test the functions directly. Users
may choose to develop their own software, please contact technical
support for TTL control protocol file.
ViewLink is a user interface developed by Viewpro for Viewpro gimbal
cameras, you can download it from Viewpro website (www.viewpro-
tech.com) or ask distributors for installation package.
Connect serial port of gimbal to pins, DO NOT connect
with power supply.
The default baud rate of serial port is 115200, which
can be changed according to the docking equipment.
