2.1.6 After the successful binding
place lhe aircraft on a slable surface.

2.1.3 Put ali function switches

IMPORTANT: Make sure ali TRIMs are in the center position, the trim value should be "O", and that the motors are locked.

The aircraft should NOT be f1ashing RED. By default, the motors will automatically be locked after the ID binding processo

3.3 CLOCKWISE rotation. Rotáte
the aircraft around the roll axis rotate
smaothly in 90 deg increments.

Pausing 1 second for each 90 deg.
(O/ 90 / 1801270 / 360)

3.4 HORISONTAL rotation. Rotate
the aircraft araund the YAW axis
ratate smaothly in 90 deg increments.
Pausing 1 second for each 90 deg.
(O /90 /180 /270 /360)

3.1 Enter the calibration mode
Do this by moving both sticks
DOWN and to the middle position
at the same time. The aircraft will
start a blinking fast RED.

3.2 FORWARD rotation. Rotate
tilting the aircraft forward rotate
smoothly in 90 deg increments.

Pausing 1 second for each 90
deg.(O /90 /180 /270 /360)

• IMPORTANT: The first couple of flights, you may expereince the
aircraft drifting,
This is normal, please continue to fly the aircraft manually, while the
system inprave lhe calibration, after 5-10 minutes land, lock lhe motors,
this will save the improved settings.
Notice: The slight drifting may continue for a couple of batteries, you

will notice significant improvement in the GPShold & stability
after 4-5 batteries.

Nolice: Always perform lhe calibration away from eletric fields and

metal surfaces.

Trivia: Different brands have different calibration processes, lhe

process is lypically refered to as "lhe Calibralion Dance".

3.5 NOSE DOWN rotation. Rotate

the aircraft facing the nose down.

rotate smoothly in 90 deg increments.
Pausing 1 second for each 90 deg.
(O/90 /180 1270 /360)

3.6 Place the aircraft in normal
position The rapid RED blinking will
stop This indicate that the calibration
is finished Disconnect lhe battery to
save the settings.

4.0 G-3D 3-axis brushless Gimbal installation

IMPORTANT: REMOVE the battery from the X4 while you install the gimbal

The gimbal is a high-performance eletromechanical design and should be handled with great care. AVOID using force when installing.

4.4 Connect the 9pin white data
cable to the "complex data port"
on the bottom of the X4, then
connect the cable to the back of
the G-3D gimbaL

4.1 Prepare the G-3D gimbal,
M3x12 screw, spring.

4.2 Slide the gimbal unto the quik
mount rail, the gimbal shouldslide

from the front of the aircraft towards
the rear, gently moveitas far back
as possible.

4.3 Install the springloaded
M3x12mm "finger screw" at the

front of the gimbal, this will

secure the gimbaL
