• Precision elements in the gimbal may be damaged by a collision or impact,
which may cause the gimbal to function abnormally.
• Avoid getting dust or sand on the gimbal, especially in the gimbal motors.
• A gimbal motor may enter protection mode if the gimbal is obstructed by other
objects when the aircraft is put on uneven ground or on grass, or if the gimbal
experiences an excessive external force, such as during a collision. Wait for the
gimbal to return to normal or restart the device.
• DO NOT apply external force to the gimbal after the aircraft is powered on.
• DO NOT add any extra payload other than an ocial accessory to the gimbal,
as this may cause the gimbal to function abnormally or even lead to permanent
motor damage.
• Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary
failure. The gimbal will recover full functionality once it is dry.
• If there are strong winds, the gimbal may vibrate while recording.
• If the gimbal tilt angle is large during ight, and the aircraft tilts forward due
to acceleration or deceleration, the gimbal will enter limit protection mode and
automatically adjust the angle downward.
• After powering on, if the aircraft is not placed at for an extended period or if
the it is signicantly shaken, the gimbal may stop working and enter protection
mode. In this case, place the aircraft at and wait for it to recover.
Gimbal Angle
Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control the tilt of the gimbal. Alternatively,
do so through the camera view in DJI Fly. Press and hold the screen until the gimbal
adjustment bar appears. Drag the bar to control the gimbal’s angle.
Gimbal Operation Modes
Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the dierent operation
modes in > Control.
Follow Mode: The angle of the gimbal remains stable relative to the horizontal plane. This
mode is suitable for capturing stable images.
FPV Mode: When the aircraft is ying forward, the gimbal rolls in sync with the rolling
aircraft to provide a rst-person ying experience.
