Frequently asked questions and answers

1. How do you charge the gimbal?

Beholder EC1 can be charged in two ways: using the built-in battery holder micro USB or using a separate

authorized dedicated charger (recommended) such as the ikan ICH-SC4.

Charging using the battery holder:

- Remove the battery cap cover on the bottom of the handle.

- Take the battery holder out.

- Connect the power cable to the Micro USB.

- Connect the other cable end to power supply.

Charging using a dedicated charger:

- Buy an authorized smart charger

- Release the battery holder.

- Take out the batteries and charge with fast charger.

2. After mounting the quick release plate, sliding it into the stabilizer seems difficult. How do you fix

this?

Release the 1/4 screw about two turns and then insert to the gimbal QR base.

3. After balancing the camera, adjusting the camera’s center of gravity, and tightening the

screws, the camera is still wobbly and unstable. Why?

You need to put the rubber stickers onto the quick release plate and then put the camera back on.

4. Wh

y is my battery holder not charging?

When using the battery holder as a charger, the USB power supply must meet the minimum requirements.

The common USB port may not supply enough power to charge the batteries. A USB adapter rated at a

minimum of 2.5A/12.5W or more may be needed. You can also purchase the Beholder multi-function

intelligent charger.

5. Wh

en I start up the stabilizer (the camera’s center of gravity has been adjusted), why is it

always twisted to one side?

This may be from gyro magnetic fields that are affecting the surrounding environment, leading to an

incorrect gyro direction. Solution: Press and hold the mode button for about 6 seconds to enter the

calibration mode. It can be used normally after calibration is complete.

TIP

Fully charged 18650 batteries measure 4.21V through a volt meter.

TIP

After balancing the camera, mark the position with a pen. This will help you find the balance

faster the next time you mount the same camera and lens.
