X8/Y6/QUAD Mounting Instructions
This kit includes hardware to mount the gimbal to a 2014 RTF
X8, Y6, or QUAD. To do this, you will need to disassemble the
gimbal, remove the IRIS interface plate, and attach the new
interface plate.
Use a 1.5 mm hex key to remove the four screws
at the corners of the controller board.
1 Remove Controller Board
Use a 2 mm hex key to remove the two bolts and nuts attaching
the interface plate to the gimbal, and remove the plate.
2 Remove IRIS Interface Plate
Use a 1.5 mm hex key to replace the four screws
at the corners of the controller board.
5 Replace Controller Board
Position the interface plate with the wider end at the rear end of
the gimbal. Attach the plate to the gimbal using the same two
holes as the IRIS interface plate. Place a 6 mm standoff between
each of the two holes in the gimbal body and the plate. Attach a
5 mm screw to both ends of the standoff using a 2 mm hex key.

Attach white
wire to tilt (T).
Do not use red wire.
Connect the servo cable now protruding from the top of the
gimbal to the black and white two-wire cable protruding from the
bottom of the copter, ensuring that the black wire connects to
the black wire and the white wire connects to the white wire.
6 Connect to Copter
Locate the split-wire servo cable from the extra parts. Locate the
pins on the Tarot board. Connect the black-wire connector to the
rightmost column of pins shown below with the black wire itself
connected to the bottom-row - (ground) pin. Connect the white-
wire connector to the center column of pins with the white wire
itself connected to the T (tilt) pin. Leave the red wire unattached.
3 Connect Cable to Gimbal
Thread the servo cable up through the
center space in the plate.
7 Power
Connect the gimbal power cable with the red connector to
the matching cable protruding from the bottom of the copter.
