Important Note 1.Product Introduction 1.1 Introduction Z10F is a gimbal camera with 3 axis, 10x optical zoom lens, effective 4 megapixel. It features light and compact, metal housing and anti-interference. The 3 axis gimbal can achieve stabilization in yaw, roll and pitch. The integrated design of damping system and gimbal can greatly reduce mechanical vibration.

2.4 Install Mounting Part (1) Find out the arrow on the gimbal which indicating the yaw heading of the payload (i.e. the lens direction when the camera power on), and synchronize with the direction specified by the UAV. (2) Fix one end of the copper cylinder on the screw hole of lower damping board, and use M3 screw to fasten it.

2. Align the white dot (unlock icon) to the red triangle (below unlock button), push the gimbal into the Viewport completely and then rotate the gimbal camera anticlockwise. 3. When you hear "click" sound (when red dot is aligned to the red triangle) means the gimbal camera and Viewport has been locked.
2.6 Install TF Card TF (Micro SD card): Install the TF card to the card slot (Re. 2.1 Overview). Support max 32GB. Request Class 10 (10m/s) transmis- sion speed or higher and FAT32 or exFAT format. Make sure device is power off when inserting the TF card, hot plugging is not supported.
3. Signal Control 3.1 PWM Control Control the gimbal camera functions by the multiplex pulse width modulation signal outputted by PWM channel of the remote control receiver. The camera needs up to 6 control channels of PWM (to expand tracking function use up to 7 PWM channels). You can choose needed functions according to actual usage to reduce the required number of PWM channels.

TTL control protocol file. ViewLink is a user interface developed by Viewpro for Viewpro gimbal cameras, you can download it from Viewpro website (www.viewpro- tech.com) or ask distributors for installation package.
Connect serial port of gimbal to pins, DO NOT connect with power supply. The default baud rate of serial port is 115200, which can be changed according to the docking equipment. 3.3 S.BUS Control Control the gimbal camera functions by one combining signals. Connect the external S.Bus to S.Bus port on the control box, and the external S.bus signal GND connect to the GND interface of the control box.
