Installing the Mounting Plate

Technical line drawing of a mechanical component with mounting holes and a central bracket (no text or symbols)

The CGO3 camera gimbal is compatible with 350 QX3 and Chroma™ quadcopters. Install the appropriate mounting plate using the 3 included M2.5 x 10 screws. Do not overtighten.

IMPORTANT: If you are mounting the CG03 to the 350 QX3, you must first install the 350 QX3 tall landing gear (BLH8105).

Installing the Gimbal

Technical illustration showing mechanical assembly and cable installation (no text or symbols)

Install the gimbal by lining up the mounting rails of the gimbal and the mounting plate and pushing towards the rear of the plate as shown at left until it locks into place.

To remove the gimbal, push in the retaining clip at the front of the mounting plate and pull the gimbal forward.

Connect the harness from the gimbal power port to either the exposed wire harness from the 350 QX3 or to the recessed plug in the bottom of the Chroma quadcopter.

Transmitter Programming

Transmitter control of the pitch angle of the CG03 is possible with most 6-channel and above Spektrum ^™ transmitters or with the ST10+ Personal Ground Station and Chroma ^™ quadcopter. Control of the pitch angle in flight is achieved on the DX6i and DX6 by temporarily using the throttle control stick to adjust pitch. If you are using the DX7s, DX8, DX7, DX9 or DX18, pitch control is achieved via the rotary knob on your transmitter.

To program your transmitter:

DX6i

• Set the Channel 6 (FLAP) Travel Adj. to 120 up and 100 down.
• Set the values in the FLAP menu to 100 up and 100 down.

To change gimbal angle BEFORE starting the motors for fl ight, set the fl ap switch to position 1. The throttle stick will now control the angle of the gimbal. Set the fl ap switch to position 0 before fl ight.

To change the gimbal angle IN FLIGHT, cycle the fl ap switch to position 1. The throttle stick will now control the gimbal angle for approximately 5 seconds before returning to throttle control. Return the fl ap switch to position 0.

DX6

In Channel Input Configuration:

• Assign channel 6 (AUX1) to switch A.
• Assign Gear to switch B.

In Servo Setup:

• Reverse AUX1.
• Set the travel values for AUX1 to: 120% 140%

EN

To change the gimbal angle BEFORE starting the motors for flight, set switch A to position 1. The throttle stick will now control the angle of the gimbal. Set switch A to position 0 before flight.

To change the gimbal angle IN FLIGHT, cycle switch A to position 1. The throttle stick will now control the gimbal angle for approximately 5 seconds before returning to throttle control. Return switch A to position 0.

DX7s

In Channel Input Configuration:

• Assign Channel 7 Input (AUX2) to the rotary knob.
• Assign AUX1 to the Gear switch.
  In Servo Setup:
• Set the Channel 6 (AUX1) travel to the values below: 120% 140%

To change the gimbal angle, set the gear switch to position 0 and adjust the angle of the gimbal by rotating the knob on your transmitter at any time.

DX8

In Channel Input Configuration:

• Assign Channel 7 Input (AUX2) to the rotary knob.
• Assign AUX1 to the Gear switch.
  In Servo Setup:
• Set the Channel 6 (AUX1) travel to the values below: 120% 140%

To change the gimbal angle, set the gear switch to position 0 and adjust the angle of the gimbal by rotating the knob on your transmitter at any time.

DX7, DX9, DX18

In Channel Input Configuration:

- Assign Channel 7 Input (AUX2) to R Knob.

- Assign AUX1 to A.

In Servo Setup:

- Set the AUX1 travel to the values below: 140% 120%

To change the gimbal angle, set switch A to position 0 and adjust the angle of the gimbal by rotating the R Knob at any time.

ST10+ Personal Ground Station

The ST10+ requires no additional programming to use the CGO3. Proceed to “Using the CGO3 With Your ST10+ Personal Ground Station.”

Using the CGO3 With Your Spektrum Transmitter

1. Insert the micro SD card into the slot on the bottom of the camera.
2. Place the quadcopter on a flat and stable surface. Ensure there are no obstructions in the path of the CG03.
3. Switch on your transmitter.
4. Switch on your quadcopter.

After the CGO3 powers on, the LED will glow red for approximately 40 seconds while the gimbal initializes. When the LED changes to green the CGO3 is ready to connect via WiFi.

See the “Using the CGO3 App” section for instructions on how to connect your gimbal to your smart device and for a description of the camera controls available. The gimbal will now compensate for any roll, pitch and yaw movements encountered by your quadcopter in flight.

If desired, you may change the pitch angle of the gimbal at any time using your programmed transmitter controls.

Using the CGO3 App

• With the CGO3 powered on, open the WiFi settings on your smartphone or tablet and connect to the CGO3 GB network (CGO3 GB_******) using the password "1234567890".
• Open the CGO3 GB App on your device.

You can now take still photos or start/stop recording video by using the on-screen controls on your device.

It is possible to take still photos at any time, even while you are recording live video.

Be sure to check for updates to the CGO3 App in the iTunes App Store, or Google Play Store.

Using the CGO3 With Your ST-10+ Personal Ground Station

NOTICE: The ST-10+ transmitter is not compatible with any receiver equipped with Spektrum™ DSM®, DSM2® or DSMX® technology.

1. Insert the micro SD card into the slot on the bottom of the camera.
2. Place the quadcopter on a flat and stable surface. Ensure there are no obstructions in the path of the CG03.
3. Switch on your transmitter.
4. Switch on your quadcopter.

After the CGO3 camera powers on, the LED on the gimbal will glow red for approximately 40 seconds. When the LED changes to yellow, complete the following steps to bind the CGO3 to the ST-10+:

1. Select Flight Settings from the main menu on the ST-10+.

2. Select the Bind option.

3. Under Camera, select the CGO3 network (CGO3_******).

4. Touch the Password line on the screen and enter the password "1234567890" on the touchscreen.
5. Select OK.
