SYSTEM OPERATIONS
Gimbal
The gimbal 2-directional pitch (up/down) is controlled by the Radio right-hand slider (Figure 2.5). All cameras
operate independently. Make sure your camera has been fully charged and you turn on recording functions prior to
take-off.
Before powering on your drone, properly align your gimbal right-side-up to prevent the IMU from malfunctioning.
Do not touch the gimbal while powering up.
Troubleshoot: If your gimbal is glitching upon start up, gently force the alignment to the proper upright position
and the gimbal will automatically orient itself.
Camera Sensors
Your AD2 may have either of the following standard gimbals that can carry either: GoPro Hero 4 Black, Sony
a6000, Sony a7S, FLIR Thermal Vue, MAPIR, or other multi-spectral cameras. By default, the main camera sensor(s)
are not included in AD2 standard packages.
Please refer to your camera’s user manual for detailed operations, and make sure your camera is fully charged
before flight.
