Gimbal Prole
The 3-axis gimbal provides a steady platform for the attached camera, allowing you to capture clear,
stable images and video. The gimbal can tilt the camera within a 120˚ range.
Use the gimbal dial on the remote controller to control camera tilt, or go to Camera View in the DJI
GO 4 app, tap and hold on the screen until a blue circle appears, then drag the circle to control
the camera’s tilt.
The controllable range of the gimbal roll axis is 0° to 90°, enabling you to shoot in Landscape
Mode and Portrait Mode. The roll axis will rotate 90° when Portrait Mode is enabled.
It is recommended to use the Portrait Mode for taking photos instead of recording video. When
the aircraft is own in ways that taxes the system, for example emergency braking or ying in
Sport Mode, the gimbal roll axis will reach its endpoint and cause the gimbal to vibrate.

settings page of the DJI GO 4 app. Note that your mobile device must be connected to the remote
controller for changes to take effect. Refer to the table below for details:

rst-person perspective ying experience.
Remove the Gimbal Clamp before powering on the aircraft.
A gimbal motor error may occur in these situations:
(1) The aircraft is placed on uneven ground or the gimbal’s motion is obstructed.
(2) The gimbal has been subjected to excessive external force, such as a collision.
Take off from at, open ground and protect the gimbal at all times.
Flying in heavy fog or clouds may make the gimbal wet, leading to temporary failure. The
gimbal will recover full functionality after it dries.
It is normal for the gimbal to beep upon initialization.
