FAQ
Which camera do the Removu S1 Supports?

also supports YI 4K/4K+ and Garmin Virb Ultra (mount housing are sold separately).
Can I charge the S1 while operating it?
The S1 cannot be charged while in use.
What is the USB port on the S1 used for?
The USB port is only used for firmware updates, not for charging unfortunately.
What are the 3 modes on the gimbal and what do they do?
Pan Mode – Tilt and roll are locked; camera can pan left and right
Follow Mode – Camera can pan left, right, up, down
Lock Mode – Pan/tilt/roll axis are all locked
When do I use the Balance Weight Cap?
You should install the balance weight cap when using a GoPro BacPac or a GoPro HERO 5 Black, HERO 6, HERO
(2018), HERO 7 camera. When the balance weight cap is installed, the gimbal should be in BacPac mode. Press and
hold the ‘M’ button for 3 second to enable/disable BacPac mode.
Do I need to calibrate regularly?
Calibration is not regularly needed. However, if the gimbal seems unbalanced while in use, proceed to calibrate the
gimbal.
Why does my camera slowly drift to the left in “Lock” Mode?
At this point, every gimbal out in the market using gyro-sensor and 3-axis motors are having the same occurrences.
To balance out the gimbal, please restart the S1, or switch to other modes and go back to Lock Mode again. In
addition, performing user calibrations for several times may also help.
