Step 5. Step 6. Install 6pcs Rubber Tension Damper Balls on the Top Plate. Mount the Top Plate onto the F450. Step 7. Use 3pcs carbon washers, 2pcs 6mm Nylon Rods, 3pcs M3*14mm Hex Cap Screws and M3 Self-lock Nuts. Step 8. Insert 2pcs 6mm Nylon Rods on the front position and secure with M3 Self-lock Nuts. Step 9. Connect Tilt Roll Control Cable into the RC IN port ,and the Power Cable into DC IN port. Step 10. Install the GP-25 to the 6pcs Dampers on the Top Plate which has been installed on F450 frame.
Step 11. Soldering the Power Cable of GP-25 with any soldering point on the F450. (Important: Red = Positive, Black = Negative, make sure you are using 3S lipo 11.1V for F450 as well.) Step 12. Insert the Yellow&Black Connector(used to control the Tilt axis) of the Tilt Roll Cable to the free channel of your receiver (e.g. CH Gear), and assign a potentiometer switch on your TX to control it. Step 13. Step 14. Use the closer slots when mounting with Gopro3 Cam.
5. How to connect to F550 Step 1. Install the “DJI F450 F550 Landing Gear” onto your F550. Step 2. Connect the GP-25 with the 6pcs Dampers with the Top Mounting Plate. And 2pcs 3mm holes (circled above) will be used to connect with F550 frame. Step 3. Use 2pcs M3*14 Hex Cap Screws with the Carbon Washer to mount the GP-25 Gimbal. Step 4. Install the GP-25 on the F550 frame with M3x14 screws and M3 Self-lock nuts.
Step 5. Side view. Step 6. Make sure the Top Plate are secured in the right and flat position. Step 7. Connect Tilt Roll Control Cable into the RC IN port ,and the Power Cable into DC IN port. Step 8. Soldering the Power Cable of GP-25 with any soldering point on the F550. (Important: Red = Positive, Black = Negative, make sure you are using 3S lipo 11.1V for F550 as well.
Step 9. Step 10. Insert the Yellow&Black Connector(used to control Use the closer slots when mounting with Gopro3 Cam. the Tilt axis) of the Tilt Roll Cable to the free channel of your receiver (e.g. CH Gear), and assign a potentiometer switch on your TX to control it. Step 11. Step 12. Use the outer slots when mounting with Gopro2 Cam. Mount your Gopro camera onto the Gimbal. Next you will go for the CG Adjustment section to adjust a perfect CG of the gimbal with the camera as to have stable performance.
6. How to connect to Phantom. Step 1. Step 2. We need to use the screw holes circled above to install GP-25 Assembly which is completed out of box. GP-25. Step 3. Use the 3mm holes circled above for installation. Step 4. Install GP-25 to the Phantom Frame by using 2pcs M3x14mm Round Cap Screws and 2pcs 9mm Nylon Rods. (Apply Thread Locker when securing metal to metal parts.
Step 5. Close view. Step 7. Close view. Step 7. Open the casing of your Phantom. Step 8. Prepare the Tilt and Roll Control Cable and a point tool. Step 9. Remove the Black and Yellow wires from the Connector as shown above. Step 10. Continuous of Step 9.
Step 11. Step 12. Insert the Black and Yellow wires through the landing Insert the Black and Yellow wires back to the gear hole(with the Compass cable) of the Phantom. connector and then insert to the “F2” port of NAZA inside Phantom. (The black wire is facing upward) Step 13. The white wire of the Tilt Roll Controll cable is useless so it can be just put outside of the Phantom. Step 14. Connect the Power Cable to the DC IN port of the Brushless Gimbal Controller. Step 15.
Step 17. Step 18. Use the outer slots when mounting with Gopro2 Cam. Mount your Gopro camera onto the Gimbal. Next you will go for the CG Adjustment section to adjust a perfect CG of the gimbal with the camera as to have stable performance. Step 19. Make sure your Phantom Transmitter has a Slide Lever installed so that you can control the Tilting of GP-25. Step 20.
Step 21. Turn on the Gimbal function of the software and adjust the parameters as shown above. Step 22. Recommended Gain Values for Phantom to have stable performance.
7. CG Adjustment Step 1. Step 2. After the assembly, you will need to check the balance Two axis (horizontal and vertical) can be adjusted with point of the GP-25 with camera mounted on it as to two screws. obtain the best performance. Step 3. Step 4. Use the closer slots when mounting with Gopro3 Cam. Use the outer slots when mounting with Gopro2 Cam. Step 5. With the camera mounted on the gimbal, the camera must be steady at horizontal, roll +- 45 degree, tilt +45 degree when the CG is good.
8. Power On Steps Before Power On the Gimbal: 1. Double check the polarity of the Gimbal Power Cable which is soldered to the F450/550/Phantom's power board or cable. Red = Positive, Black = Negative. (Incorrect polarity will damage the Brushless Gimbal Controller!) 2. Double check the battery polarity before plugged in. 3. Make sure the camera is mounted securely and correctly. 4. Double check the CG of the gimbal with camera mounted. 5.
9. Troubleshooting Q1: Why does the gimbal not stabilize the camera? A: Please check the battery voltage (3S lipo must be used) and if the Gimbal Controller LED is lit. Q2. Why is the captured video shaking? A: Please ensure your Aircraft is well turned with minimum vibration before mounting the Gimbal. Double check the CG of the Camera, make sure the Camera is well balanced. Refer to CG Adjustment section.
