    To install the Solo Gimbal and start utilizing its features, follow these Solo Gimbal installation instructions: Gimbal Installation Before installing the Solo Gimbal, make sure the firmware on Solo and your GoPro as well as the Solo App on your mobile device are up to date for the best performance.

  • Page 24: Figure 3.2.2.1: Connecting Cables

    Position Cables With both cables now connected to the Solo Gimbal, it is important to position each cable out of the way of other internal components. When configuring the HDMI and gimbal cables, the HDMI cable should rest on top of the gimbal cable.

  • Page 25: Figure 3.2.3.1: Positioning The Gimbal Cable

    3.2.4 Mount the Gimbal 1. Position the gimbal plate over the opening in the Solo Shell, making sure that the three screw positions are aligned (two in the back and one in front). 2. Slide the back of the plate in first, and then pinch the two front prongs in and down to insert the plate.

  • Page 26: Figure 3.2.4.1: Mounting The Gimbal

    3. When the plate is inserted and resting flush with the Solo Shell, tighten each of the three captive screws. If the plate isn’t resting flush with the Solo Shell, the most likely cause is that the screws didn’t catch correctly. If the screws are misaligned, do not try to tighten them.

    The radius of the Cone Zone expands at a 1:3 ratio of lateral distance to altitude. This means that the Cone radius is directly related to the Return Home altitude. As Solo’s altitude increases, so does the radius of the cone. If Solo’s lateral distance from the Home Position exceeds this ratio, it is then outside the cone.
