①Long slot of the quick release plate
is for fixing mirrorless cameras, while
the short slot is for fixing compact
cameras (Fuji mirrorless camera can
be fixed in the short slot).
②Before mounting the camera,
make sure the camera is ready for
work. Remove the lens cap and
make sure the camera's battery and
memory card are already inserted.
The pan axis arm is installed with a latch. Please unlock the pan axis
before using the stabilizer and lock it when not in use.
When the stabilizer is idle, fold the arm as shown in the picture
below and tighten the thumb screw on the roll axis motor.
3.Balance Adjustment
• Loosen the 1/4'' screw at the bottom of the
quick release plate. Hold the tilt axis arm
lightly and push the camera to move forward
or backward until the camera can stay still and
almost level with its lens facing front (as
shown in the picture).Complete this step by
tightening up the screw.
• Make the lens face up, slightly loosen the
thumb screw of the tilt axis and push the
camera to move forward or backward until
the camera can stay still with the lens facing
up as shown on the right. Complete this step
by tightening up the thumb screw.

• Loosen the thumb screw of the quick release
plate and move the plate to the right to make
the camera close to the motor (i.e.move the
quick release plate to the far right end). This
step is for convenient setup and balance for the
next time.
