- Page 7 C-40 User Manual Introduction The C-40D 2-axis Gimbal is compatible with a payload device no heavier then 40g. With a 2-axis mechanical stabilization structure and high-torque motors, the C-40D is able to provides an extreme stabilization effect against the vibration and high-speed air impact.
- Page 8 C-40 User Manual Installing the Payload 1. Remove the four screws on the back of the gimbal, and separate the rear lid and interface PCBA from the gimbal. There are cables connecting between the gimbal and the interface PCBA. Do not separate the PCBA too far or may damage the gimbal. 2.
- Page 9 C-40 User Manual 3. Route the payload cables through the pitch motor. The cables should have a certain margin length and should not be tight, otherwise it will lead the gimbal spinning unsmoothly or rebounding. 4. Install the lids as below. 5.

Page 14: Channel Mapping
C-40 User Manual Channel Mapping (Headtracker direct, S.BUS/CRSF & MAVLink control) Select the channels corresponding to gimbal mode, gimbal sensitivity, roll, pitch and yaw respectively. For Headtracker direct control (through datalink or Air Unit), all channels should be mapped to CH01. Mounting Type The mounting type of the gimbal is AUTO by default, and the gimbal will automatically switch to DOWN/UP mode according to its attitude at power-on. - Page 15 C-40 User Manual Parameter Tuning For cameras with larger moment of inertia, mounting them on the gimbal may result in gimbal shaking. In such cases, increasing the gain value can enhance stabilization effects. It is strongly recommended to use the default gain parameters if unnecessary.
