Note
1. After the tracking gimbal is power-on, the pitch will automatically reset to zero. Please mind your hand. If
you choose the magnetometer usage mode as “OnlyPwrOn / Never”, the gimbal will rotate to the desired
position after three times alarms when the gimbal is powered on.
When using the OnlyPwrOn / Never mode, please do not rotate the gimbal at random after the gimbal is
powered on.
2. The gimbal magnetometer is susceptible to interference. Please use it away from the magnetic
interference environment.
1. The power supply voltage of the gimbal is 12~15V.
2. The gimbal power supply port.
3. At the bottom of the gimbal there is a 1/4-20 standard tripod holder quick mounting plates connecting

5. Please insert it into the corresponding socket on the top of the gimbal. And connect your datalink GND
with the aviation plug #6 (black wire), the datalink TX wire with the aviation plug #5 (blue wire).
6. Through the Baud rate option of the menu to select the correct baud rate.
If the baud rate is correct, the gimbal receives the mavlink data, the main interface will display like DLink
95% indicating communication quality.
7. If the data does not work, will display 0%.
8. In addition, we will provide a video description and how to use the buttons.

Gimbal Operation Guide
Main interface:
The first row: the following three show in turn
Batt: Battery voltage
GPS: GPS satellite number
Second row:
Dist: Distance of the aircraft (unset home is shown as N/A)
The third row:
Alt: the height of the plane
The fourth row:
Dir: the direction angle of the aircraft
Archer AAT User Manual
The fifth row:
Mllink / Vlink: It will be better if the signal quality value is larger. When using data transmission tracking, it will
be displayed as Mlink. When using the image transmission, it will be displayed as Vlink.
Main interface button operation: long press-greater than or equal to 1.5s, short press-less than 1s
Left button: long press (enter menu)
Right button: long press (set the common flight direction), short press (set home)
When the common flight direction mode is used, the gimbal will limit the free rotation angle, and the range of
rotation is the set angle +-225 degrees.
Menu interface button operation:
Left button: long press (return to main menu), short press (switch menu column)
Right button: short press (select the corresponding column)
When the menu interface is opened, the default selected column of the selection box is the current value of
the relevant setting parameter. If the current interface is not parameterized interface, the default selection is
the column selected in the previous exit interface.
