The 3-axis gimbal provides a steady platform for the attached camera, allowing you to capture clear, stable
images and video. Turn the dial to adjust the gimbal pitch angle.
Controllable range of the pitch angel is -90° to +30°. The default range is -90° to 0°. This can be adjusted in
the DJI GS RTK app.
Gimbal Operation Modes
Two gimbal operation modes are available. Switch between the different operation modes on the gimbal
settings page of the DJI GS RTK app. Refer to the table below for details:
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
rst-person perspective ying experience.
A gimbal motor error may occur in these situations:
(1) the aircraft is placed on uneven ground or the gimbal’s motion is obstructed.
(2) the gimbal has been subjected to an excessive external force, such as a collision. Please take
o from at, open ground and protect the gimbal at all times.
Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The gimbal
will recover full functionality after it dries.
It is normal for the gimbal to produce a short beeping tone upon initialization.
In the case of less exposure time (no more than 1/200 second) or ight in S-mode with full
remote controller stick movement, the aerodynamic vibration of the aircraft may increase due
to aerodynamic forces. This can make the gimbal more susceptible to wind, causing photos
to show a noticeable dynamic deformation (i.e., the “rolling shutter" eect). In such cases, it is
suggested to increase the exposure time by using the lter or reducing the lens aperture, or
reduce ying with smaller remote controller stick movement for better picture performance.
