- Page 2 Overview Correct adjustment of the gimbal is essential for proper use. Please review the following explanation and make any necessary changes to the gimbal’s settings. Please refer to Help Guide for the instructions on how to mount and use the gimbal. Preset of motor parameters Important note: Be sure to do this before using the gimbal.

Manual adjustment of motor parameters If the motor parameters of the gimbal do not match due to the difference in weight when the camera is equipped with accessories (such as a hood, a filter, etc.) or the individual differences in the gimbal, you need to manually adjust the motor parameters. Please install PC software “gTuneDesktop”... - Page 6 2. Connect gimbal to PC ① Before motor parameter adjustment, please double check the gimbal is properly balanced. If it is not balanced, refer to Startup Guide or Help Guide and try the balance adjustment again. ② Control cable needs to be disconnected during motor parameter adjustment. With the power source of Airpeak turned off, disconnect one side of the control cable as shown in the image below.
- Page 7 3. Start gTuneDesktop and input initial parameter ① Start “gTuneDesktop”, select Gremsy PX1, then press the [CONNECT] button.
- Page 8 ② After connecting, the screen will switch to [SETTINGS]. Press the Lock button at the top left of the screen. Note: All subsequent operations must be performed in Lock mode. ③ Depending on the model of camera used, set the following motor parameters for both [BASIC] setting and [EXPERT] setting.

- Page 10 4. Adjust motor parameters on each axis Adjust the motor parameters on each axis in the following order to get a proper response without any overshoot on the graph: TILT -> ROLL -> PAN 1. Check the graph. Press the [MONITOR] button to switch to the MONITOR screen. Press the arrow button on the right side of the MONITOR screen to renew the graph.
- Page 11 2. TILT axis parameter adjustment. While holding the gimbal so that it doesn’t roll, push the TILT axis of the gimbal directly by hand and move it up to +10 degrees (Angle of the TILT axis will be displayed at the top of BASIC setting screen).
- Page 12 BASIC setting screen...
- Page 14 3. ROLL axis parameter adjustment. In the same sequence as TILT axis adjustment, tune the parameter in ROLL axis. While holding the gimbal so that it doesn’t move in PAN axis, push the left side of the gimbal’s ROLL axis down with your hand until it reaches ±10 degrees. Increase the ROLL value in BASIC setting until the overshoot is eliminated.
- Page 15 4. PAN axis parameter adjustment. In the same sequence as TILT axis adjustment, tune the parameter in PAN axis. While holding the aircraft so that it doesn’t move, push the gimbal in PAN axis until it reaches ±10 degrees. Increase the PAN value in BASIC setting until the overshoot is eliminated. Search for the minimum value, as gimbal oscillation will occur when the value is too high.

Page 16: Check The Image
5. Check the image Turn on the controller and the mobile device, then check the image of main gimbal with Airpeak Flight. Make sure that there is no oscillation on the screen. When using the camera in a downward orientation, make sure on Airpeak Flight that the image is not shaking while pointing in that direction. -

The image may temporarily vibrate. This may be avoided by taking the following actions: • Refer to the help guide "Mounting a camera on the gimbal (when using the GBL-PX1) ", remove the camera once, and then attach it again. Vibration is more likely to occur if the screws are not tightened properly or in the wrong order. - Page 18 The image is distorted or undulate With quick acceleration or high-speed flight, image may be distorted or undulate. This may be avoided by taking the following actions: • Decrease STIFFNESS value by 5 to 10. • Decrease HOLD STRENGTH value. Do not set the value lower than 40. If you change the HOLD STRENGTH value, you need to adjust the STIFNESS value as well.
- Page 19 Calibration Here are the steps to execute calibration of the IMU sensor. Only do this if you experience symptoms: • Drift such as camera cannot be leveled, angle gradually shifts, etc. -> Try Gyro calibration • Gimbal rolls -> Try Acceleration calibration. If the gimbal still rolls even mafter the acceleration calibration, try Gyro calibration as well.
- Page 20 ※ If the problem of gimbal drifting does not improve after performing calibration, lowering GYRO TRUST by 10 to 30 may improve it. However, we do not recommend going below 170. Calibrating the Acceleration of the IMU sensor Prepare a stand to keep the gimbal horizontal level at about 5.5in height ①...
