I. Quick Start Guide

WARNING BEFORE USE

1) Remove the gimbal from the box.

2) Make sure power is turned off at the back of the gimbal. The power switch is located at the back of the gimbal

on top of the battery indicator. Pressing the "0" down will power the unit off.

3) Charge the battery by following the instruction on Section II. Remove the battery cap located in front of the pan

motor at the end of the carbon tube. Insert the battery into the tube and plug in the battery connector. Replace
the battery cap to the battery compartment tube.

4) Before setting the gimbal on the balancing stand, please follow the balancing stand setup on Section IV.

5) All gimbal requires balancing to establish center of gravity for each camera. When balance is not obtained, the

gimbal will vibrate during operation. When that happens, please set gimbal on the stand and follow the
balancing procedure on Section III.

6) Turn on the gimbal by pressing down the "I" on the power switch. Gimbal must be stationary during

initialization. Gimbal cannot be moved during initialization. Before turning on the power, please set the gimbal
down on the ground or on the balancing stand and prevent it from moving until the motors are initialized.
When you see the motors twitch, initialization then been completed. You are now ready to use the gimbal.

7) When gimbal is initialized, it starts in mode #4. Please follow Section VI for detail on how these

preprogrammed modes work.

8) The AllSteady 7 can be used in right side up or down configuration. Please see Section VII for detail.
