Use the MOZA Master App or MOZA Genie App to connect the gimbal, select "Creative video" button and there will be multiple timelapse modes for shooting.

• Bidirectional Start

By default, we mount the camera handle near the tilt motor so that the camera control port can be exposed. But in some special cases, we need to mount the camera control port near the tilt motor for normal use.

The following situations will require reverse mounting:

a. The camera is too wide for forward mounting.

b. The lens used is too heavy to be balanced when forward mounting.

Reverse mounting steps:

a. Place the shorter side of the L-Bracket next to the lens and mount it on the bottom of the camera:

b. Rotate the roll axis 180^ around the roll motor, then the tilt motor will be on the left of the roll motor.

c. Mount the shorter side of the L-Bracket to the quick release baseplate.
