Q650/Q800 2 AXIS CAMERA GIMBAL ASSEMBLY GUIDE

This guide will show you how to assemble your 2 axis camera gimbal.  This gimbal is designed to be used with our UT-Q650 quadcopter frame

The Q650/Q800 Gimbal is a 2 axis (roll and pitch) gimbal specially designed for FPV, and aerial photography.  It is compatible with the Q650 quadcopter frame.

This gimbal comes with 2 digital servos which provide smooth and high precision control.  A flight controller is required to use the stabilisation function.  However If you don’t have one you can directly control the servos via your transmitter. 

Important: You will need to use some thread lock to ensure the screws do not vibrate loose.

X-Axis Assembly

• Use the 6x nylon spacers and the M3x5 screws to secure them as shown.
  

• Now you must attach the linkage lock onto the front plate (it does not matter which one is the front at there are two identical pieces like this, so just choose one).
  

• You will need to attach the servo using the 2x self tapping screws included with your servo.  Once again you will have two identical pieces like this, but attach the servo to only one of them.
  

• Assemble the remainder of the X axis as shown below.  Ensure that the parts with the servo mount and linkage lock are in the correct positions as illustrated..
  

Y-Axis Assembly

• The first thing to do is to attach your roll servo onto the Y axis assembly as shown 
  

• Now you must assemble the top mounting plate with the Y axis assembly as shown.  Please make sure that the servo is mounting in the front.  Once again you may require some force to push the vertical plates through the top mounting plate.  Please be careful not to break anything.
  

• Once the Y Axis assembly has been built, you will now need to connect it with the X Axis assembly.  This is done as shown  using the spacer and some washers.
  

The Final Steps

• Now you need to attach the servo horns onto the servos.  Secure the arms onto the servo with the screws included with your servo.  It’s a good idea to use the longest horns that you have with your servo for the largest range of motion for your gimbal.
  

• Attach the control arms to your servo horns and then to the linkage locks as shown to the right.  It’s a good Idea to make sure your servos are in a neutral position (connect them to your receiver with neutral PWM signal).
  

• You can now attach the gimbal onto your frame.  This is done with 4x M2.5 screws that attach the top plate of the gimbal onto your load hangers.  For more information of how to attach the load hangers onto your frame, see the assembly instructions for your quad copter frame

• The last step will be to configure and tune your gimbal with your flight controller.  Please refer to your flight controller documentation for more information
