Test STEP1. Check List Before Every Flight For safety reasons, please pay serious attention to all following items Before Every Flight. (1) Gimbal is installed firmly to aircraft, and camera mounted correctly and stably. Make sure the Lens of camera is pointing to the aircraft nose direction. (2) All cables are in correct and firm connection, without anyone in backwards. (3) Gimbal video signal cable is in good soldered condition if wireless video transmission module used.
aircraft with power-on gimbal, the inclination angle of the aircraft should not exceed 35°. Please do not land the aircraft with power-on gimbal on uneven ground (such as grass lawn or rocky roads), in which environment there may have external forces act on the gimbal or the gimbal will get shocked, then the gimbal will enter into Hibernation Mode. Hibernation Mode for gimbal protection.
