Gimbal and Camera
Gimbal
The Mavic Air’s 3-axis gimbal provides stabilization for the camera, allowing you to capture clear, stable
images and video. The gimbal has a tilt range of -90˚ to +17˚. The tilt range is set to -90˚ to 0˚ by default
and can be adjusted in DJI GO 4 (tap and select “Advanced Settings” > “Extend Gimbal Tilt Limit”).
Other gimbal settings such as Gimbal Mode and Gimbal Auto Calibration can also be selecting by
tapping .
Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control camera tilt. Alternatively, in DJI GO 4, go to
Camera View, press and hold on the screen until a blue circle appears, and drag the circle up and down
to control camera tilt. Dragging the circle left and right will control the aircraft’s orientation.

Gimbal Operation Modes
Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the
camera settings page of the DJI GO 4 app.
Follow Mode: The angle between the gimbal’s orientation and aircraft’s nose remains constant at all
times.
FPV Mode: The gimbal will synchronize with the movement of the aircraft to provide a first-person
perspective ying experience.
Do not tap or knock the gimbal when the aircraft is powered on. To protect the gimbal during
takeo, always take o from at, open ground.
A gimbal motor error may occur in these situations:
a. The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or the gimbal’s motion is obstructed.
b. The gimbal has been subjected to excessive external force, such as during a collision.
Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The
gimbal will recover full functionality once it dries.
