3D Robotics GoPro HERO3 stabilization system - Manual (Page 2)

2
Connect the gimbal power cable with the red connector to
the matching cable protruding from the bottom of IRIS.
3 Power
Using the mounting screws, attach the gimbal to IRIS through
the two holes in the interface plate and the two holes in the
bottom shell shown below.
Mount the gimbal
with the camera
facing forward.
4 Connect to IRIS
Operating the Gimbal
Upon powering IRIS, 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 remote control, indicated by a
solid blue light.
Calibrating, do not touch gimbal
Ready, connected to autopilot
Ready, not connected to autopilot
In flight, use the TILT knob on
the controller to adjust the angle
of the camera.
! Important note: Flying with a gimbal will reduce your flight
time by as much as five minutes. Please plan your flights
accordingly.
Connect gimbal to
bottom shell here.
