Operating the gimbal
Start your flight by following the preflight steps described in your copter’s
manual and checklist.
Upon powering your copter, the gimbal will display a solid yellow light while
it is starting and calibrating. Do not touch the gimbal while it is starting up.
When the gimbal displays a blinking blue light, it is ready to fly.
If the gimbal is not connected to the autopilot, it will perform automatic
stabilization without enabled transmitter control, indicated by a solid blue
light.
