The Camera Wiring
Z15-5D gimbal can transfer the signal from transmitter to infrared signal for shutter control, please make sure you
connect the camera with the Z15-5D gimbal correctly and the camera settings are correct.
Step1: Connect the video transmission cable to the correct port on the camera.

 Make sure to press the AF.DRIVE button and set the drive mode as (10-sec.self-timer/Remote
control) or (2-sec.self-timer/Remote control).
The Shutter Control
Z15-5D gimbal can transfer the signal from transmitter to infrared for shutter control, please set one 2-position
switch/channel for remote shutter control.
Make sure the shutter control module is correctly mounted and wired.
Whichever selection of the switch on your transmitter was set; wire the right channel of the receiver to the SHUT
port. One switch toggle corresponds to one photo shot.
For example, toggle twice will result in two shot.
Position – 1  Position – 2: First shot
Position – 2 Position – 1: Second shot
Tips:
 The following diagram shows how the shutter control works.
 If the shutter control works abnormally, please check each step.
