Model: IMR 18650 MP

Capacity: 2600mAh

Voltage: 3.6V

Two identical cylindrical batteries with battery caps, no text or symbols visible

① The stabilizer is equipped with high-energy-density batteries, which may cause fire, economic loss or personal injury when not properly used and stored. Please read the disclaimer and warning herein as well as the description on the battery label carefully before using the batteries.
② Please use batteries provided or approved by ZHIYUN only. ZHIYUN will not take any responsibility for explosion, fire and/or accidents caused by non-ZHIYUN batteries.

When the batteries are not in use, please be sure to put them in the battery slot of the package or in plastic storage cases (the storage case needs to be purchased separately).

Charging Procedure

1. Insert the batteries into the charger in the right direction (positive/negative end) accordingly.
2. Connect the charger to the adapter via the Type-C USB cable.
3. Plug the adapter into a power outlet to start charging.

USB Cable Adapter Power Supply

① Due to the differences of the charger itself, charging the batteries may fail when the power supply is insufficient (for instance, when the current of the adapter is lower than 500mA). Conditions may vary depending on the specific chargers used. It is recommended to use an adapter with a higher current capacity.
② The battery cannot be charged through the USB port on the stabilizer.

① Please use a qualified standard 5V/ ≥ 2000mA adapter for battery charging; charging time depends on the maximum input current of the adapter.

② This stabilizer comes standard with two high-discharge-rate dedicated batteries. Please use and charge batteries provided or approved by ZHIYUN only.

③ Please make sure both the batteries are fully charged. Either battery undercharged can lead to failure of the stabilizer.

Tripod Installation

Get the tripod ready and mount it to the 1/4"-3/8" threaded hole at the bottom of the stabilizer, then unfold the tripod on a flat surface.

Camera Installation

Each axis of the gimbal is equipped with a lock switch. You can use these lock switches to lock the axes for convenient installation and storage.

Lock for installation Lock for storage

1. Take out the quick release plate module and press the Quick Release Unleash Button to take out the Arca quick release plate.

2. Mount the camera on the backing base as above, then mount it on the quick release plate and tighten the 1/4" screw at its bottom.

3. Adjust the lens support on the quick release plate to support the lens and ensure it is stable.

4. Mount the installed quick-release plate into the quick release module, and then install and lock the whole module on the three-axis stabilizer.

① Before mounting the camera, make sure it is prepared ahead of time. Remove the lens cap and make sure the camera's battery and memory card are already in place.
② A backing base is required if the camera lens is getting too close to the quick-release plate due to their large size. You can decide whether to install the backing base according to the actual situation.
③ There's a 1/4 threaded hole in the middle of the quick release plate for quickly screw or unscrew the 1/4 screw.

** 1. It is recommended to switch the stabilizer to L mode when setting key points. Pan axis motor can be manually set under this mode, makes it quicker to set key points.

1. Double click video button to exit trajectory shooting.

*** Turn on: Switch the stabilizer to V mode and triple click POV button.

Pause: Triple click POV button when in rotation. (When resume, the record of the turns will start at its current angle)

Reset position: Double click trigger button when in rotation.

Exit: Switch stabilizer mode when in rotation.

****AB point settings are only available when connecting to ZHIYUN Servo Follow Focus correctly.

Motor Torque Adjustment

The motor torque of the stabilizer shall be adjusted by 3 levels to adapt the specific camera and lens applied for ideal performance.

Auto torque adjustment: Under auto torque adjustment, the stabilizer will adjust the motor torque according to the weight of the carried camera and lens.

Operation Method: Single press Menu Button and rotate the dial to "motor", then rotate the dial to "auto" and press the right side of the dial to confirm. The stabilizer will enter the auto torque adjustment state. Please do not operate the stabilizer before the stabilizer shortly vibrate, and a "√" mark will appear on the display screen, which means the auto torque adjustment is completed.

Customized Motor Torque: Please set a proper motor torque according to the actual camera setup. Overhigh motor torque will cause the stabilizer vibration, vise versa, excessive low motor torque will affect the gimbal stabilization.

Operation Method: Single press Menu Button and rotate the dial to "motor", then rotate the dial to "custom" and press the right side of the dial to confirm. Press right again to select the corresponding axis and set the parameters via the dial. Single press the left to exit, then the stabilizer will save the parameter and a "√" mark will appear on the display screen, which means the auto parameter adjustment is completed.

① When conducting the auto torque setting, please make sure that the three axes are unlocked and the stabilizer is straightly put on a flat surface.
② Please rebalance the stabilizer if camera setup is changed, and adjust the motor torque settings following the above method.

When do you need to calibrate the stabilizer?

Please calibrate the stabilizer when necessary.

Calibration Reason How to calibrate
1. A slight deviation is found in the tilt angle of the camera in level position after startup.2. A slight deviation is found in the roll angle of the camera in level position after startup.3. Frequent small angle correction is found when the camera is in level position while the stabilizer stays still.	Initializing the stabilizer
1. A slight deviation is found in the level position after the initialization of the stabilizer.2. The stabilizer has not been used for a long time.3. The stabilizer undergoes significant temperature differences in operating environments.	Six-side calibration
A slight deviation is found in the tilt or roll angle of the camera in level position after initialization and six-side calibration of the stabilizer.	Fine-tune motor force

Initialization Method

1. Correctly install the batteries.
2. Hold the camera mounting plate with one hand, long-press the power button to start up the stabilizer; long-press the POV mode button to enter standby mode while keeping hold of the camera mounting plate through the whole process in case of start-up failure.
3. Put the stabilizer still on a table surface, and wait for about 30 sec., and the stabilizer will automatically complete initialization.
