When the aircraft is not in use, especially when the aircraft is being transferred or stored,
be sure to use the protective cover of the gimbal to fix the gimbal, so as to avoid damage
to the gimbal camera due to accidental rotation or bumping.
Please remove the protective cover of the gimbal before turning on the gimbal, otherwise,
it may cause damage to the gimbal motor and circuit.
When turning on the power switch of the aircraft, the gimbal will automatically rotate to
perform self-check and calibration, please make sure there is no object near the gimbal to
Replacing The Gimbal
The Autel Alpha aircraft has a removable gimbal design, allowing you to easily replace the gimbal
to meet your flight needs in various scenarios.
Please follow the instructions below to replace the gimbal, as improper replacement may
cause damage to the gimbal or poor contact with the gimbal interface.
Do not replace the gimbal frequently. The gimbal connector is a precision element, and
frequent plugging and unplugging may result in poor contact between the aircraft and the
gimbal.
Please use the gimbal model specified by Autel Robotics for replacement. Incompatible
gimbals may cause damage to the aircraft.
Do not attempt to remove or mount the gimbal when it is powered on. Wait for 15 seconds
after powering off the aircraft (the internal capacitor is fully discharged) before removing
