Remove the rubber cap from the gimbal and pull down on the gimbal handle to release it from its stowed position. 3. Slide the battery cover off, install the batteries that came in your eVo package, and then slide the battery cover back on. 4. On the top stage, extend the spring-loaded, top-most portion of the phone mount to release it from its stowed position and then lift up to open the phone mount. 5. Install your phone into the phone mount by inserting your phone at an angle and straightening it up into the spring-loaded mount. SET UP BALANCE 3. Side-to-Side: Your phone is the weight that will balance your eVo side-to-side. If the eVo is tilting to the left, slide your phone to the right until the eVo stage levels horizontally. If the eVo is tilting to the right, slide your phone to the left until the eVo stage levels horizontally. All Steadicam stabilizers work through a mass-based balancing setup. The eVo is unique in that it’s the next evolution of Steadicam, where an electronic motor assists the operator by maintaining the balance they achieved during set up. Like all Steadicam stabilizers, the eVo has a 3-axis gimbal, so we will balance the eVo along 3 axes: top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side. 1. Top-to-Bottom: Your phone is the top weight and must be counterbalanced at the bottom using the adjustment wheel or adding balance weights at the base of the eVo. The bottom weight should begin at position 1. Hold the eVo by the handle and observe how it behaves: if the eVo is seeking a horizontal orientation, install one of the included balance weights on the bottom. If the eVo is still seeking a horizontal orientation, install another one of the included balance weights. 2. Front-to-Back: The adjustment knob on the stage controls your front-to-back balance by moving the position of your phone along the stage. If the eVo is tilting forward, turn the adjustment knob clockwise to tilt it backward. If the eVo is tilting backward, turn the adjustment knob counterclockwise to tilt it forward.
