Perfect balance status please check first part of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_vDXAQsEJw
The perfect balance state of gimbal is that turning the camera towards any position, the camera would stay there without holding by hand.
Please refer to the first part of the video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_vDXAQsEJw
Smartphone only could shoot in landscape mode when it works with G6Plus.
The tilt axis of G6Plus only could rotate 260°, so tilt motor should be on the right side of camera. as the picture shown.
TURN ON/ OFF: Long press function button, the display will show “” then release it when you hear the beep tone.
Please long press function button for about 10 seconds at the first time restart G6Plus after updating Keyboard Firmware via the App, then release the button until the display shows “”. It will be failed to turn G6Plus on if just press function button for 2~3 seconds.
After turning gimbal on, short time's vibration happens because the motors match with different cameras automatically, which is a normal adjusting process. You don't have to adjust motor strength by yourself. It will work fine after automatically finishing the adjustment.
Please follow these steps to fix it.
1) Check whether or not gimbal is balanced properly. Please refer to Question #16.
2) If gimbal was perfectly balanced, it vibrated and buzzed mainly because motor strength is more than required. Remove vibration by decreasing motor strength in Feiyu ON. Alternatively, choose "Auto-adaption" in the app then RESTART gimbal.
3) If nothing changed, update the latest version of Gimbal Firmware is recommended.
Please refer to the following video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d-Vd4Fiyt6Y&t=2s
A suggestion to this problem is to choose the front row (see below) when attach either smartphone or action camera to G6Plus, due to the center of gravity of either of them lies a distance away from the geometric center. If vibration was still there, follow the tips mentioned in Question #22.
The function of joystick is to control rotation of camera in four directions, and set up parameters of camera with other buttons.
The speed or directions of joystick could be set up in Feiyu ON App.
Function button could be found on the handle, as shown below. It is used for powering on/off gimbals and changing working modes (How to turn on/off G6Plus please refer to Question #19).
Switch between working modes:
1) Single tap: Switch between panning mode HF (default mode) and lock mode LK.
2) Double tap: Follow mode AF, enter panning mode HF by single-tapping function button (with Gimbal Firmware V1.004 or later).
3) Triple tap: The camera rotates 180° in horizontal, working together with the function of manual lock, you can take a selfie or video with special angle. Double tap trigger button to reset to default position.
4) Quadruple tap: Auto-rotation Mode, perfectly fit for motion time-lapse. You can set up the start, the finish and the rotation route by hand in this mode. When setting is done, gimbal will be automatically rotated following pre-set route in a constant speed, which was set in App before. After rotating finish, the gimbal will stop at the finish position (Find more details in Question #32).
5)Quintuple tap: Initialize the gimbal in order to get correct attitude parameters when it is not level or in abnormal status.
Shutter button (with a red spot) controls camera to take picture or record on the basis of camera connects with G6Plus via WiFi successfully (camera icon without a slash).
Please check with the re-seller or technical support of Feiyu Tech for the control function of your camera.
Setting button is for changing shooting modes (GoPro 5/6/7 & Sony RX0) and part of parameters of camera (Resolution, FOV, FPS of GoPro 5/6/7, WB/ISO of cameras). The parameters changeable varies with each camera.
The following video is a tutorial shows how to control GoPro.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq8RTccnVkY
1)Press and hold: Enter Fast Follow Mode (with Gimbal Firmware V1.004 or later). Release it to go back to the previous mode.
2) Double tap: Reset the gimbal, it goes back to panning mode no matter what current mode is, and three axis are reset to the default position.
Press and hold the trigger button in any of follow modes then gimbal enters Fast Follow Mode. Release the trigger button it goes back to the previous mode. Or choose "Motion mode" in the App to enter Fast Follow Mode.
Long press: Switch between gimbal control and camera control.
Single tap:
1) Gimbal control: Single tap to switch among Pan Control / Roll Control / Tilt Control.
2) Camera control:
a. With smartphone, when Feiyu ON App is connected, click "Camera" and switch among the parameters (W/T, ISO, WB, EXP) in the main interface.
b. With camera, when WiFi of camera is connected via Feiyu ON, single tap to switch between Zoom and Follow Focus (They are available to those cameras which provide support). Please refer to Question #34 for the details on how to connect camera with G6Plus via WiFi.
Rotate: Adjust the parameter which had been selected, including Zoom/ Follow Focus, ISO, WB ect.
Magic ring can precisely control three axes with different settings of the sensitivity as a simulated wheel , which the joystick cannot do.
Steps to perform auto-rotation are as follow:
1.Fourth-Tap function button to enter auto-rotation mode.
2.Set up the start position by rotating pan and/or tilt axis by hand and hold the position for half a second, then single tap function to record the start position.
3.Set up the end position by rotating pan and/or tilt axis by hand and hold the position for half a second, then single tap function again to record the end position.
4. The stabilizer automatically goes to the starting position, then pan and/or tilt axis start to rotate uniformly to the ending position in a constant speed according to the pre-set speed of rotation, and gimbal stops at the end position when rotation is done. You can reset the gimbal by double-tapping the trigger button.
Auto-rotation is good with time-lapse to produce breathtaking flowing time-lapse videos based on your needs, letting you see the recorded changes that take place slowly over time in a short time. For instance, video shows the changes of street views between sunrise and sunset.
Motion Controlled Time-lapse combines auto-rotation with time-lapse, having camera move based on the pre-set route and letting you see the recorded changes that take place slowly over time in a short time. It is more suitable for recording objects that move slowly, like the cloud, the changes of street views between sunrise and sunset.
When use smartphone to shoot Motion Controlled Time-lapse, set up the interval of timelapse in Feiyu ON, choose timelapse mode, fourth-tap function button, set the start and the end positions and the route between them, then tap shutter button to start shooting. When auto-rotation is done, G6Plus stops at the end position. You can reset the gimbal by double-tapping the trigger button.
If your camera is in the control list,You just need to input WiFi password of the camera in Feiyu ON App for the first time when connect G6Plus with the camera. It is fine to turn off the App after successfully establishing a connection.
Find more details in this tutorial.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aq8RTccnVkY
The WiFi of gimbal could save password. You just need to input WiFi password of the camera in Feiyu ON App for the first time when make connection. Once WiFi connection is built with success, next time you restart gimbal or camera, WiFi connection without Feiyu ON could be rebuilt automatically in 10-20 seconds later when WiFi function of camera is activated.
Feiyu On App is just the assistants to build WiFi connection. When connection is done successfully, it is fine to turn off the App.
The App just works as a medium for inputting WiFi password of camera. The password will be sent from the phone to gimbal by bluetooth. That won't affect WiFi function of your phone.
Press trigger button, setting button and shutter button at the same time until “clean” shows on the display, then move joystick to the right to clear WiFi connection.
Attach smartphone to G6Plus and balance it, click "Camera" to enter the camera interface when connect gimbal with Feiyu ON, then you can do face/object tracking.
Horizontal adjustment button on the back cover of G6Plus can control Roll axis to rotate. This function is mainly used for making creative videos, showing the changes on view from horizontal to sloping. Here is a sample.
When gimbal is on, tap function button 5 times, then "Initing" shows up in the display after quintuple tapping function button. G6 Plus automatically detects whether or not it is placed on a static flat surface (see below). Initialization will be done automatically once the gimbal is placed on a static flat surface, and "Success" will be displayed. Otherwise, G6 Plus is keeping detecting and waiting. Please pick up gimbal and single tap function button to wake up it when initialization is done.
In those cases, gimbal might be not level.
1)Gimbal has not been used for a long period of time.
2)Extreme temperature variations between indoor and outdoor.
3) Extreme variations in geographical setting, such as from South to North region, or from lower altitudes to high altitudes.
Two ways to calibrate gimbal:
1)Initialization.
2) If the initialization did not work, please connect gimbal with Feiyu ON App and choose horizontal calibration to make gimbal level again. The interface as shown below.
Feiyu ON could update Gimbal Firmware and Keyboard Firmware for G6Plus.
