CRANE3 Axis Gimbal For Mirrorless User Manual V1.0Gimbal StructureInstallation Balance AdjustmentUnscrew the gimbal bottom cover and insert two 18650 batteries then tighten (Handle can be removable.).Correctly place the camera onto the mounting plate, and fix the camera with the camera mouting screwthrough the middle hole of the mounting plate bottom. Adjust the mounting plate to make the camera against the Tilt-axis motor, and then tighten mounting plate. If you need to use a long lens, please mount the lens support.If it is the first time to use or replace the camera / lens, or change the camera position, weight, size, it is only fixed, without tightening the middle screw too tight, in order to facilitate the balance after adjustment.Roll Axis Tilt Axis Camera Mounting Screw Camera Mounting Plate Pan Axis ON/OFFPower Indicator LightUSB Port Joystick Lens SupportThumbscrew Lens Support Screw 1/4 Inch Screw ThreadThe gimbal must be matched with the original batteries; if not, the performance and safety will not be guaranteed. Zhiyun assumes no liability for damages or injuries under this circumstance.Before the balance adjustment, please correctly mount the mounting plate, camera lens and remove the lens cover . In order to achieve expected performance of the gimbal, a balance adjustment is needed when the first time to use or replace the camera / lens, or change the camera position, weight and volume. 1Balance adjustment of the Tilt AxisNote：This product does not include a camera, a pattern for reference only, please prevail in kind. Move the battery tray from top to bottom inside the handle then install 26650 Li-ion batteries. (the battery tray can be removable.)Mount the camera against the Tilt axis, then fix the right position of tilt axis and roll axis and keep them level with the horizontal arm. Overturn the camera with lens down and observe the state of camera. If the camera is tilted forward or backward, please loosen the screw on tilt axis, so that the camera mounting plate can be moved. Then move the mounting plate to the opposite direction of camera tilted position, until the camera lens keeps vertically downward.Tighten the screws after the adjustment is completed.（1）Adjust Vertical Center of the Camera in Tilt Axis（2）Adjust Horizontal Center of the Camera in Tilt AxisLoosen the screw of mounting plate which is under the camera, manually fix the right position of tilt axis and roll axis and keep them level with the horizontal arm. Keep the lens forward, leave hold of it and observe the status of camera. If the camera is tilted forward or backward, move the camera to the opposite direction of tilted position, until the camera maintains the level of forward. Tighten all the screws after the adjustment is complete. 2Balance Adjustment of the Roll AxisAdjust the balance of the roll axis after balancing the Tilt axis. Manually fix the roll axis position and keep the camera parallel with the horizontal arm, leave hold of it and observe the status of camera. If the camera is tilted left orright, loosen the screw on roll axis and move the horizontal arm to the opposite direction of tilted position, until the camera keeps in current position. Be sure to tighten the screw after the adjustment is complete. Attention: Please loosen but not remove the screw when adjusting balance. 3Balance adjustment of the Pan AxisAdjust the balance of the Roll Axis after balancing the tilt axis and roll axis. Keep the controller of the gimbal parallel with horizontal level as shown in the right picture. If the camera is tilted left or right, loosen the screw on pan axis and move the vertical arm to the opposite direction of tilted position, until the camera keeps in current position（without hand support）. Be sure to tighten the screw after the adjustment is complete.

The default mode is Pan Following Mode, single press the joystick to switch to Locking Mode, under any modes double press the joystick to switch to Pan and Tilt Following Mode. Pan Following Mode: Pan axis(rotation left and right) follows the movement of the gimbal, while the camera remains locked in Tilt(up and down) and roll(level) to remain upright. In this mode, move the joystick up/down to adjust Tilt angle. Locking Mode: All three axes (Pan, Tilt and Roll)are locked and the gimbal faces in one direction only. In this mode, move the joystick up/down to adjust Tilt angle. Move joystick left/right to adjust pan angle. ON/OFFJoystick Joystick Joystick JoystickPan and Tilt Following Mode: Roll axis is locked, Tilt and pan axis rotate to follow the movement of the gimbal. In this mode, move joystick left/right to adjust roll angle.Mo d e sw i tc h : Pan F o ll o wi n g Mo d e is t h e de f au l t mo d e, s i n g l e pr e ss t h e jo y st i ck t o s wi t ch between Pa n F ol l ow i ng M o d e a n d Lo c ki n g Mode.
