1. Balancing the tilt axis
   1. Balancing the vertical tilt
   a. Unlock the tilt lock ① , and loosen the slide arm lock knob ② .
   b. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing upward. Check the direction in which the lens tilts.
   c. If the lens tilts to one side, then the camera is that side heavy, move the slide arm ③ to the opposite direction, until the camera is steady pointing upward.
   d. Tighten the slide arm lock knob ② while holding the camera.
   2. Adjust depth for the tilt axis
   a. Rotate the tilt axis so that the camera lens is pointing forward. Check the direction in which the lens tilts.
   b. If the lens tilts to one side, then the camera is that side heavy, unlock the quick release plate safety lock ① and then move the quick release plate to the opposite direction, until the camera is steady pointing forward.
   c. Lock the quick release plate safety lock ① while holding the camera. The tilt axis is balanced when the camera is steady while tilted up or down by 45° .

2. Balancing the roll axis
   a. Unlock the roll lock ①, and check the direction in which the camera tilts.
   b. If the camera tilts to one side, then the camera is that side heavy, loosen the cross arm lock knob ② and then move the cross arm to the opposite direction, until the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.
   c. Tighten the cross arm lock knob ②. The roll axis is balanced when the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.

3. Balancing the pan axis
   a. Unlock the pan lock ① . Hold the tripod, and tilt the gimbal forward until it is horizontal to the ground.
   b. If the camera tilts to one side, then the camera is that side heavy, loosen the vertical arm lock knob ② and then move the vertical arm ③ to the opposite direction, until the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.
   c. Tighten the vertical arm lock knob ②.  The pan axis is balanced when the camera can stay still and horizontal to the ground.

4. Using the memory slider
   Feiyu SCORP-C comes with a memory slider which can make balancing easier. After balancing the gimbal, move the memory slthe ider to the hole in axis, and make the red dot on the memory slider exposing the hole, in order to mark the current position.
   Next time, If the objects which users mount are the same, users can just move the axis to the position which can make the red dot exposed from the hole to make the gimbal balanced.
