Attach the LiDAR Range Finder to the hot shoe of a camera.

6. Heat Dissipation Slot

DO NOT obstruct the slot during use.

7. Firmware Update Port (USB-C)

Connect the LiDAR Range Finder to a computer when updating rmware.

8. Power and Communication Port (USB-C)

Connect the LiDAR Range Finder to the power and communication port of DJI RS 3 Pro for power and data transfer.

DO NOT obstruct the slot during use. Used with DJI RS 3 Pro

1. Attach the LiDAR Range Finder to the hot shoe of the camera and tighten the lock

2. Connect the power and communication port of the LiDAR Range Finder to the

video transmission/LiDAR Range Finder port of DJI RS 3 Pro using the multi- camera control cable provided. (Figure B)

3. The LiDAR Range Finder is powered by DJI RS 3 Pro and turns on after the gimbal

has power. The visible light camera view (not the view of the attached camera) displays on the touchscreen of the gimbal. The 1/4″-20 thread to cold shoe adapter can be detached. The user can also attach the LiDAR Range Finder to a camera cage via the 1/4″-20 screw. If the camera view on the touchscreen is blurred, use the LiDAR Range Finder control cable instead of the multi-camera control cable to obtain a clear camera view. Note: the end with the shorter part of the cable should be connected to the power and communication port of the LiDAR Range Finder, the longer part of the cable should be connected to the video transmission/ LiDAR Range Finder port of DJI RS 3 Pro. LiDAR Settings Lens Prole Tap Lens Profile to calibrate the lens, autofocus can be used after calibration. During camera lens calibration, it is recommended to shoot as few subjects as possible. The subject should be a person or flat surface with discernible features (such as a picture on the wall). The accuracy of the lens calibration will affect the autofocus performance. The lens parameters will be stored in the focus motor after calibration. Only focus motor calibration is required after choosing the lens profile. There is no need to calibrate the lens again. Steps:

1. Set the function of the front dial for the gimbal to Focus Motor. Power on DJI RS 3

Pro, swipe up from the bottom of the touchscreen, and tap Dial Function. Scroll to select Focus Motor.

2. Tap < and swipe down from the top of the touchscreen to return to the homepage.7

Swipe right from the left of the touchscreen to enter the LiDAR page. Tap the icon on the bottom right corner of the touchscreen to enter LiDAR settings.

4. Tap < and then tap Start Motor Calibration. The focus motor will begin to rotate

when calibrating. Tap Conrm when the calibration is complete. Start Motor Calibration 24mm Focal Lengh Lens Profile

5. Power on the attached camera before calibrating the lens. Focus on a subject in

the center of the camera view that is approx. 1 m (0.7 m to 1.2 m) away. A white box will appear on the subject. Check if the subject is in focus on the attached camera view (not the touchscreen). Adjust the front dial of the gimbal until the subject is in focus and tap Confirm. Repeat the previous step with a subject that is approx. 4 m (3.5 m to 4.7 m) away.

Focus on object 1 m away and rotate front dial

Make sure the subject within focus point is clear Lens prole is complete after the lens calibration has been completed. DJI RS 3 Pro supports up to three lens proles. The indicator light of C1, C2, and C3 turn on to indicate which lens prole is applied. For the existing lens prole, delete the lens prole and recalibrate the lens if autofocus is inaccurate. Motor calibration is needed if the endpoint of the focus motor is changed due to the mounting position being changed. Tap Motor Calibration or press the Function button twice to start calibration.8 Non-Calibration Lenses LiDAR Range Finder can be used with specic lenses, which do not require calibration. Refer to the DJI LiDAR Range Finder product page on the official DJI website for supported lenses. Connect the data port of the lens to the USB-C port of the focus motor using the camera cable provided. Installation Distance The installation distance is dened as the distance between the focus plane of the camera and the LiDAR Range Finder. The default distance is 75 mm, which is the length of the LiDAR Range Finder mounting bracket plus the length of the LiDAR Range Finder. Fine-tune the value to improve the auto focus accuracy. When mounting the LiDAR Range Finder to other positions, such as the top of the camera lens, adjust the distance to compensate for errors. AF Tracking Sensibility Settings Supports 5 levels. Level 1 oers the slowest change in focus. Level 5 oers the fastest change in focus. ActiveTrack Settings ActiveTrack Speed: Indicates the speed of the gimbal when using ActiveTrack. Select from Slow, Medium, and Fast settings. Tilt Follow Switch: Enable or disable tilt follow as needed. The tilt axis follows gimbal movements when turned on. Autofocus Autofocus can be used after the lens prole is completed. Focus Mode Tap the bottom left corner icon to switch between Wide and Spot modes.

In Wide mode, the LiDAR Range Finder automatically recognizes people in the camera view and focuses on the people nearest to the center. A white box appears on the person selected. Adjusting the front dial of the gimbal can switch the subject and lock into focus. A yellow box will appear on the locked subject. In Spot mode, the LiDAR Range Finder will focus on the subject inside the focus box. Drag the box or tap a subject to use autofocus.9 Using ActiveTrack Pro In Wide mode, press the trigger of the gimbal to enable ActiveTrack when a subject is selected. The box turns green, which indicates that ActiveTrack is enabled. Use the control stick to adjust the frame. If the frame turns red, the subject is lost. Press once on the trigger to exit ActiveTrack, press twice on the trigger to exit ActiveTrack and recenter. The frame turns white to indicate that ActiveTrack is disabled. AF/MF Mode Press once on the AF/MF Switch or the M button of the gimbal to switch between auto focus and manual focus. Note that the M button function should be set prior to LiDAR AF/MF. In Manual focus mode, adjust the front dial to focus. Half press the camera control button of the gimbal to focus each time. DO NOT use corrosive organic solvents such as alcohol wipes to clean the lens of the LiDAR Range Finder. Make sure the LiDAR cameras are not blocked. Otherwise, the autofocus will be inaccurate. Using LiDAR Range Finder Only Follow the steps below to use the LiDAR Range Finder without DJI RS 3 Pro:

2. Attach the LiDAR Range Finder and focus motor to the camera, and then connect

the power and communication port of the LiDAR Range Finder and one of the USB-C ports of the focus motor using the multi-camera control cable. Connect an external power supply (7 to 16 V) to the other USB-C port of the focus motor to power the LiDAR Range Finder and focus motor. (Figure C)

3. Power on the external power supply, and then press twice on the Function button

to start motor calibration. Press the AF/MF button to switch the focus mode to auto focus, the indicator glows solid green indicating auto focus is available.
