For optimal results, adjust your camera settings to these recommended values. If you’re using the Solo Gimbal with
the GoPro Hero3+ Black or either Hero4 model (Silver or Black), you can change settings in flight: For details, see
Section 6.1.3, Camera Controls and Settings, on page 40.

3.3 Gimbal Operation
The Solo Gimbal is a nearly autonomous tool. For example, it handles camera balancing and stabilization for you
automatically. However, we recommend that you be aware of some operational aspects of the Solo Gimbal, as well
as a handful of controls you can use.
3.3.1 Controlling the Solo Gimbal
To manually adjust the tilt angle of the Solo Gimbal, use the tilt control paddle to move the gimbal up and down.
You can also set up an automatic tilt control using the ‘1’ and ‘2’ button presets. These buttons are located above
and below the tilt speed dial, as shown in Figure 3.3.1.1. To tilt to a preset angle, simply press either button and use
the dial to adjust the tilt speed. To save a new preset angle, hold ‘1’ or ‘2’.
