Shining Uaer llanual Getting Started 18650 Li-ion Battery Zhiyun 18650 Li-ion battery was specially designed for the Shining. Before you start using your Shinning, be sure to charge the battery with Zhiyun approved charger. When the 18650 Li-ion batteries are fully charged, the Shining has a maximum run-time of six hours. (When installing the batteries, please note the cathode and anode.) Power Protection Over-Discharge Protection Discharging stops automatically when the battery voltage reaches 3.
Shining User Manual Getting Started Assembling the Handle Bar l.Adjust the handle bar to the angle you need, then tighten the screw. If a re-adjustment of the angle is needed, loosen the screw and pull the handle in radial direction, when the angle is proper, tighten the screw again. 2.Attach the handle bars to both sides of the top handle and tighten the grip screws. 3.Attach the grips to the handle bar and lock them in the preferred position.
Getting Started Shining User Manual Installing Handle Bar onto the Gimbal 1.Piace the handle bar in position as shown below, then slide it horizontally into the gimbal and tighten the lock-knob. 2.Hold the gimbal by the grips, make sure that the gimbal is not obstructed during a 360 degrees pan. The installation is complete. Mounting the Camera The Shining uses an adjustable camera mounting plate that allows you to easily balance, install and remove the camera.
Shining User Manual Getting Started Why do you need a lens support? Certain cameras have a very tight lens securing system, and some cameras such as the Canon 50 MK II and MK Ill have very loose lens securing systems. The Shining balances the camera as one solid unit. If the mounted camera has a loose lens securing system, the lens support must be used.
GeHing Started Shining User Manual 2.Remove the grips from the handle bar. 3.You can remove one or both sides of the handle bar. 4.The resulting configuration is shown below. Balancing To obtain the best performance from the Shining, proper balancing is a must. Accurate balance is critical for shots where the Shining will be subjected to extreme movements or acceleration (running, horseback riding, biking, car mounts, helicopters, etc.). proper balance will also offer a longer battery runtime.
Shining User Manual Step 1: Balancing the Vertical Tilt 1 .Rotate the Tilt Axis so that the camera lens is pointing upward and loosen the two vertical adjustment tabs. 2.Gently slide the camera mount crossbar forwards or backwards until the camera points upwards when released. 3.Tighten the tabs and manually rotate the assembly, simulating tilt, to ensure there is no binding in the tilt motor. When proper balance is achieved, you can rotate the camera to any tilt angle, and it will stay in that position.
Shining User Manual Step 3: Balancing the Tilt Axis 1 .Loosen the camera base's side clamp to allow the camera and mounting plate to slide forwards and backwards. 2.Siide the camera forwards or backwards until the tilt axis remains level. Only very small adjustments are required to achieve the proper balance. 3.Tighten the side clamp to lock the camera and mounting plate in position. If properly balanced, the camera should be able to remain steady at any given tilt angle.
Shining User Manual Operation Modes The Shining can be used in two operation modes: Pan and Tilt Following Mode and Locking Mode. You can change to the Underslung Status, Upright Status and Briefcase Status at any mode. Note: modes only can be switched by using Zhiyun wireless controller or Zhiyun APP(Zhiyun Assistant). Underslung Status The Underslung Status is the default working status. Upright Status Flip the gimbal forward 180 degrees and it will automatically change to Upright Status.
Maintenance Shining User Manual Briefcase Status Briefcase Status allows you to hold the Shining in a narrow space , makes camera more flexible while shooting. To use Briefcase Status, tilt the gimbal go· to the left or right on the roll axis. Maintenance of Gimbal l.Balance the handle bar and keep the gimbal flat. (When putting the gimbal upside down, please ensure the ground is flat and the top handle bar should be down, otherwise the gimbal may fall forward and overturn.) 2.
