ARRIS Zhao Yun User Manual 

 
     

Thank you for buying ARRIS Zhao Yun 3-Axis brushless Gimbal. Each gimbal 

has been adjusted and tested before we send it out. For this gimbal, Most customers 
can plug and play when you receive it (Except for some multicopters, you may need 
to adjust some parameters).   
Here we suggest the customers to minimize the vibrations of the multicopter, for most 
of the vibration on the image of the video caused by the multicopter.   
 

In order to get the best performance of the gimbal, please read the user manual 

carefully. We will not be responsible for the damage of the gimbal or other equipment 
caused by improper operation.
