2. If the motor output is too low, the video is not stable enough; if the motor output is too high, it will cause high-frequency vibration of the stabilizer.
3. When the motor output is at the critical value, the stabilizer will not vibrate in the upright state, but it will vibrate in the forward or inverted state. Please reduce the motor output moderately.

FPV, Sport Gear Mode

When the follow function is enabled, the camera will follow the movement of the gimbal.

Users can enable the follow mode of each axis through dial buttons and turn the dial to adjust the following speed, which can be also enabled in the menu.

Follow Mode Switch	Example 1 Example 2
Enter the tilt follow
Exit the tilt follow
Enter the roll follow
Exit the roll follow

Note:

1. The AirCross 2 is in pan follow mode by default.
2. In addition to controlling the follow mode by the switches of each axis independently, follow modes can be also enabled by the trigger, please refer to Page9 'Button Functions' for more details.
3. The angle of the roll follow is 60^ . For a larger following angle, please triple click the left button to enter the FPV mode to achieve 360^ follow of three axes.
4. If faster following speed is required, please click the right button to enter the sport gear mode. (Currently only supports the pan axis)

Manual Positioning

Manual positioning is used to quickly adjust the direction of the camera. When the function of manual positioning is enabled, the camera orientation can be adjusted by hand which will not automatically return to the initial position. The adjustment speed is faster than using the joystick or the following mode. The manual positioning of the tilt and pan axis are enabled by default on the AirCross 2. Manual positioning of the roll axes can be enabled in the menu.

Note: The follow function has higher priority than manual positioning. When the follow function of any axis is on, the manual positioning function cannot be used. Only after the follow function is off, the manual positioning can be used normally.

Button Customization

Button Customization is used to specify the function, sensitivity and operation direction of each button according to the user's habits. For Example:

By default, moving the joystick up and down controls the tilt axis rotation. It can be changed to control the roll or pan axis rotation by customizing;

By default, moving the joystick left and right controls the pan axis rotation. It can be changed to control the tilt or roll axis rotation by customizing.
