1. Installation

Download and install the Rollei App called "Rollei Smart Gimbal" onto your smartphone.

2. Battery Installation

The battery needs to be fully charged before the device is used for the first time. The charging time is about 2.5 hours when it is directly charged by a power outlet (therefore an adapter is needed which is not part of the delivery).

The battery needs to be inserted into the handle of the gimbal. Therefore, please unscrew the lowest part of the handle. Then insert the battery into the handle (the minus polarity shows in the direction of the small part of the handle). Afterwards the small part can be screwed onto the handle again.

4. Balancing the Smartphone

If the gimbal is turned on and the smartphone is balanced / levelled correctly and will be held by the gimbal without making any sounds or any shakes, the smartphone is positioned correctly.

2. Press the middle button of the joystick of the gimbal for more than 6 seconds until all motors are stopped and the LED indicator light of the function button will light up and will be constantly on.
3. Put the gimbal into the position which is shown in picture 1 and keep the gimbal and the platform stationary. Take a look at the LED indicator light, until the light flashes three times and then remains constantly on. That means the calibration of this position is finished. Now do the calibration for the other position, shown in the pictures from 2 to 6.
