2. During the balancing process, ensure that the camera power is turned oﬀ and the stabilizer motor is turned oﬀ. It is possible to lock each axis of the stabilizer to the installation posture to facilitate balance adjustment.

3. Tripods can be installed (refer to 20 pages for installation) for easy balance adjustment.

3.1Balance Adjustment of the Tilting Axis

Adjust the center of gravity of the camera in two steps to the axis of rotation of the tilting axis.

（1）Adjust the position of the camera's tilting axis up and down: Place the camera lens upright and keep the cross arm horizontal, as shown in Figure

6. After releasing the hand, observe the camera lens rotation state. Unscrew the locking screw of the tilt axis motor and adjust the balance by

adjusting the sliding arm left and right (see Figure 7, Figure 8). When the cross arm is kept horizontal, the camera lens is placed vertically upwards and stays in a vertical state with the ground. The sliding arm adjustment is completed, as shown in Figure 6.
