If no intelligent tracking module is connected, No Signal Input will display on the screen. When the intelligent tracking module is connected, composition, ActiveTrack Speed and gestures can be set on this page.

Composition: When Composition is adjusted to Center Tracking Subject, the subject tracked will be moved to the center of the ActiveTrack view. When ActiveTrack is enabled with Keep Current Framing, the gimbal will maintain the current composition.

ActiveTrack Speed: Slow speed provides smooth tracking, ideal for live streaming. Medium speed works well for parallel tracking, while fast speed is best for close-up circling shots or high-motion scenes.

• The touchscreen does not display the ActiveTrack view.
In Center Tracking Subject, the subject may not always stay perfectly centered due to variations in camera, lens, and shooting distance. If this happens, use the joystick to adjust the composition.

PF

PF: Pan follow, where only the pan axis follows the movement of the grip.

Suitable for scenarios such as shooting emerging walkthrough and arc shots or moving from left to right.

PTF

PTF: Pan and tilt follow, where both the pan and tilt axes follow the movement of the grip.

Suitable for scenarios when moving on a slant.

This is is the standard working mode of the gimbal and is suitable for most shooting scenarios such as walking and running shots.

The gimbal is flipped and the camera is in a lower position. This mode is suitable for taking low angle shots, such as tracking objects on the ground.

The gimbal is held horizontally like a flashlight. This mode is suitable for shooting in confined spaces.

The briefcase handle needs to be installed in this mode, making low-angle camera movements more intuitive. The angle of the briefcase handle can be adjusted using the knob. The cold shoes and 1/4"-20 mounting holes of the gimbal allow for mounting external monitors to assist in shooting.
