Summary

Developed

for

filmmaking

professionals,

the

Zhiyun

Shining

marks

a

generational

leap

forward

in

camera

stabilization

technology.

The

Shining

is

light,

small

and

convenient

to

use.

The

technology

built

into

the

Zhiyun

Shining

allows

a

broad

spectrum

of

cameras,

of

varying

sizes

and

weights,

to

be

stabilized

during

filming.

A

brushless

gimbal

stabilization

system

is

not

simply

three

brush

less

motors

moving

on

three

axes.

Shining

can

processes

movement

calculation

in

milliseconds,

which

reduces

angular

vibration

to

less

than

±0.05"

of

translated

movement,

meaning

that

the

camera

will

remain

perfectly

steady.

The

Shining

can

be

used

in

two

operation

modes:

Locking

Mode

and

Pan

and

Tilt

Following

Mode.

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.

This

is

because

a

loose

connection

between

the

lens

and

the

camera

body

may

allow

vibrations

that

travel

through

to

the

camera

but

not

directly

to

the

lens,

resulting

in

the

two

masses

shaking

at

different

frequencies.

The

resulting

oscillations

will be

transmitted

to

the

IMU,

causing

the

whole

gimbal

to

shake.

If

the

lens

support

fits,

it's

best

to

use

it

at

all

times.

CD

·

The

lens

support

can be

installed

facing

outward

or

inward

to

accommodate

different

lens

types.

·

alignment

of

the

and

then

tighten

the

mounting

screw,

before

tightening

the
