The built-in tripod is suitable for stable, level surfaces in windless environments. In other conditions, it is recommended to attach DJI OM Grip Tripod (sold separately) to the bottom of the gimbal.

If you extend the built-in extension rod, make sure to adjust the Pan Motor to be level with the ground. This ensures balance after the phone is attached to the gimbal.

A steady gimbal mode light $( \phi / \subset \bullet / \bar { \bf S } / \bar { \bf S } )$ indicates that the gimbal is stabilizing the phone. If the light is not displayed after you attach the phone, press the M button to enable stabilization.

• Multifunctional Module supports tracking people, cats, and dogs.
The tracking and shooting features of Multifunctional Module are disabled in DJI Mimo.

Position the tracking camera of Multifunctional Module and the phone camera towards the subject. For example, both cameras are used to take selfies in the following illustrations.

• To achieve optimal gesture recognition, keep the subject _ { 0 . 5 m } to 3m away from the tracking camera.
• During tracking, keep the subject _ { 0 . 5 m } to 8m away from the tracking camera.

1. Enable Bluetooth on the phone and connect to the gimbal.
