WARNINGS AND IMPORTANT NOTES
Warning: Do not move, sway or shake the model during the
initialization process. Moving, shaking or swaying the model during the initialization process may lead to initialization failure, which will require you to cycle the power o and then back on to repeat the process. Adjusting or modifying the GB200™ in anyway is not recommended. Prior to using the GB200™, read and under­stand the quick start guide and instruction manual completely. Always power on your transmitter rst and then power on your model and gimbal.
YUNEEC™ GB200™ gimbal is optimized for both the CGO1™ andGoPro3/3+® cameras. Please mount your camera to the GB200™ without adjusting or modifying the GB200™. Do not modify or add any other component / device (such as lters, lens, plastic case, hood, etc.) to the camera. Also, it’s important to make sure to use the original battery for your chosen camera, or the change in weight and center of gravity of the camera may de­crease performance of GB200™ or even cause internal malfunction.
Make sure your model’s autopilot system operates in the safest manner when the main power battery is connected. We strongly recommend that you remove all blades/propellers, use a suitable ight battery, and keep a safe distance from children and other people during gimbal setup. Please follow these important steps to mount and connect the GB200™ gimbal on your model, and respect the AMA’s National Model Aircraft Safety Code.

OVERVIEW
Volt Universal Power Port
Universal PWM Input
Blade® 350QX Camera Pitch Control Port
Mode Control Port for Angle or Velocity Control
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN ANGLE OR VELOCITY MODE:
Angle Mode allows the ‘pitch’ angle of the camera gimbal to be changed relative to the PWM control stick/knob/slider input. Velocity Mode controls the speed/rate of the ‘pitch’ angle of the camera according to PWM control stick/knob/slider input. For example, the more control input, the faster the rate of change will be.

HOW TO SWITCH CAMERA MOUNTS: CGO1™ to GoPro3/3+® (A)
Step 1: Rotate the CGO1™ camera mount - as shown in illustration A - until the at spot inside the setscrew hole is facing up, and loosen the setscrew using the allen wrench.
Step 2: Carefully remove the CGO1™ camera mount by sliding it outward away from the gimbal motor and remove the gyro board from the gyro board mount.
Step 3: Insert gyro board into the gyro board mount on the GoPro® camera mount, and wrap the gyro board wire harness clockwise one whole turn around the end of the camera mount toward the gimbal motor.
Page 7
Step 4: Spin the gimbal motor shaft until the ‘at spot’ is facing the setscrew hole. Insert and tighten the setscrew to secure the GoPro® mount to the GB200™.
HOW TO SWITCH CAMERA MOUNTS: GoPro3/3+® to CGO1™ (B)
Step 1: Rotate the GoPro® camera mount - as shown in illustration B - until the at spot inside the setscrew hole is facing up, and loosen the setscrew using the hex wrench.
Step 2: Carefully remove the GoPro® camera mount by sliding it outward away from the gimbal motor and remove the gyro board from the gyro board mount.
Step 3: Insert gyro board into the gyro board mount on the CGO1™ camera mount, and wrap the gyro board wire harness clockwise one whole turn around the end of the camera mount toward the gimbal motor.
Step 4: Spin the gimbal motor shaft until the ‘at spot’ is facing the setscrew hole. Insert and tighten the setscrew to secure the CGO1™ mount to the GB200™.

MOUNTING CGO1™ ON GB200 (C)
1. Remove the 5.8GHz Wi-Fi antenna from the CGO1™.
2. Install the CGO1™ into the CGO1™ camera mount.
3. Connect the 5.8GHz Wi-Fi antenna by pressing it onto the
5.8GHz antenna socket on the CGO1™ and turn it 90° to secure the antenna to the CGO1™ and camera mount.
4. Install the 3mm mounting screw to secure the CGO1™ to the mount.
MOUNTING GOPRO® ON GB200™ (D)
1. Install GoPro3/3+® in the GoPro3/3+® mount
2. use the GoPro3/3+® mounting sleeve to secure the camera to the mount. (see illustration)
MOUNTING GB200™ ON BLADE® 350QX (E,F,G and H)
1. Install the GB200™ gimbal mounting plate on the 350QX using the (4) included screws.
2. Slide the GB200™ into place with the arm side toward the back of the model.
3. Connect the Blade® 350 QX2 control cable to the camera pitch control port on the GB200™ and the corresponding port on the Blade® 350QX V2.
4. Place the Blade® 350 QX2 on a at and stable surface. Switch on the Blade® 350 QX2. Do not move, sway or shake the model during the automatic calibration process. After the automatic calibration is complete, your GB200™ is ready to use.

TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
WHAT WHY SOLUTION
The gimbal keeps vibrating after initializing.
The gimbal does not function or respond.
Camera may not be mounted securely to the camera mount.
Gimbal may have been moved during initialization.
Check and make sure camera is mounted completely and secu­rely in the camera mount. Camera needs to be pressed into the Camera mount completely; otherwise, the center of gravity will be incorrect.
Cycle the gimbal power on/o by switching model on/o.
Page 15
Gimbal will not power on.
Gimbal does not respond to control inputs and LEDs are glowing solid RED and BLUE.
Red LED on gimbal ashes slowly and gimbal is inoperable.
Gimbal control harness may not be connected into the correct port.
Gimbal may not have positive connection via control harness or satellite receiver.
The gyro board harness may have disconnected from the GB200™ control board.
If using GB200™ with Blade® 350 QX2, be sure to connect the control harness to the camera pitch control port . If using with any other model, be sure to connect PWM input to port the universal PWM input port and mode control port
Check gimbal control harness/satellite r eceiver for a solid connection. Try disconnecting and reconnecting the control harness/satellite receiver and cycling the power on/o.
Check the connection between the gyro board and the GB200™ control board.
