Charging and Battery

The SMOOTH-XS uses built-in batteries. Before using the SMOOTH-XS for the first
time, please charge it fully to activate the batteries and ensure the appropriate use of
the product.
Charging method: Connect the Type-C cable provided in the package with the
adapter (5V/2A recommended, not included) to the port on the stabilizer’s vertical
arm. Charging completes when the four indicator lights turn white (when the stabilizer
is powered off).

Installation and Balance Adjustment

1. Rotate the handle 180° counterclockwise.

2. To ensure good contact with the contact points, pull the pan axis motor to the
bottom of the vertical arm while holding the roll and pan axes motors, until you
hear a “click” sound.

Before each use, make sure to unfold the SMOOTH-XS and ensure good
contact with the contact points before powering the device on.
