c) Stabilised Camera Holder (2 D-Gimbal)
The quadrocopter has a camera holder stabilised around two
axes (gimbal) installed already. Once the flight battery at the
quadrocopter is switched on, the holder will automatically align
and compensate any nod and roll movements of the quadro-
copter in flight.
To install a camera of type GoPro or other corresponding came-
ras (1), the holding bracket (2) must be removed and attached
again with the two M2 x 5 screws after inserting the camera. The
required screwdriver is enclosed with the quadrocopter.
Caution, important!
The two transparent plastic covers (3) that are pushed
onto the camera holder from the rear and from the side
only serve to protect the gimbal when transporting the
quadrocopter. The covers must be removed before in-
serting the flight battery or the camera. Otherwise, the
gimbal cannot perform the required movements and is
thus destroyed!
Never operate the camera holder without a camera
inserted. The missing weight of the camera will cause
the holder to be unbalanced, which will put too much
of a strain on the controlling electronics, which may be
damaged.
If the camera holder must be removed from the quadrocopter, disconnect the 12-pin plug connector from the corres-
ponding connection in the quadrocopter. The camera holder itself is attached to the quadrocopter with four screws.
The two-pin plug with the red/black cable is used to supply power to an optional video signal transmitter
(red = +12 V/DC, black = GND). Hook-and-loop tape for attaching the video transmitter is enclosed with the
quadrocopter.
