FOXTECH FH336 V2 36X Optical Zoom Starlight Camera with 3-axis Gimbal

Warning and Disclaimer

Make sure not to adjust the gimbal or change its mechanical structure by yourself. Be sure to mount the camera to gimbal before power on,and then install the gimbal on the aircraft.
To avoid gimbal performance degradation or damage caused by imbalanced payload,please do not add other peripherals for the gimbal camera (filter,hood,etc).
When in aerial photography,make sure your aircraft flight control system is working at the safe mode. We strongly recommend that you remove aircraft propellers before doing gimbal configuration.Use extra non-power battery for gimbal.Keep children away from the preset flight region.
Considering that we are not able to control user’s specific usage,installation, assembly,modification ( including the use of non-specified parts ),and improper use. Direct or indirect damage or injury caused by the behavior above, our company will not cover any loss and responsibility.

GPS data overlay and serial port wiring diagram

GPS Baud rate:115200,8,1,null
Serial ports will be needed(marked by the black box,see photo above),please connect
RX1 and RX2,TX1 and TX2,with wire jumper.TX and RX from external serial cable connect to TX3 and RX3 respectively.GND from external serial cable connect to GND of the wiring hub.

Please notice:DO NOT connect 5V and GND to the ports marked by the black box.

Gimbal and camera control via PWM

Gimbal control

Yaw axis control: speed mode, connect stick channel(or 3-position switch channel, push stick to middle position to stop)
Pitch axis control: speed mode, connect stick channel(or 3-position switch channel, push stick to middle position to stop)
Mode control: angle mode, connect knob channel(speed mode: connect 3-position switch channel or Stick channel)
If connecting knob channel, rotate to one end, the gimbal is at lowest speed when controlling YAW and PITCH axis.
Rotate the knob to any position, gimbal is at higher speed when controlling YAW and PITCH axis. Rotate to knob to another end, gimbal back to center position.
Multi:tracking function control

Camera control

Zoom control:connect 3-position switch or stick channel
Focus: connect 3-position switch or stick channel for manual focus control. If do not connect any channel, then camera will auto focus after zooming
Pic/REC:taking picture/recording, connect 3-position switch channel
Flip the stick from middle position to high position, taking picture/recording mode switch
Flip the stick from middle position to low position:
A: If under recording mode:record start,flip from middle to low again,record stop B:If under taking picture mode,start taking pictur

Mode function description(connect “MODE”to knob channel)

Rotate knob to position-3:low speed lock mode.The gimbal will move at the lowest speed when controlling YAW and PITCH, and gimbal YAW axis will not follow drone flight direction.
Rotate knob to any position except position-3:variable speed follow mode. Gimbal speed will be faster(the speed depends on the angle you rotate the knob, the bigger the faster).
Rotate knob to position-1,gimbal back to home position.

Flip 1 time between position 2 and position 1,gimbal goes back to home position
Flip 2 times between position 2 and position 1,gimbal goes to speed mode.
Flip 3 times between position 2 and position 1,gimbal goes to angle mode.
Flip 4 times between position 2 and position 1,gimbal goes to accelerometer calibration
Flip 5 times between position 2 and position 1,gimbal goes to gyro calibration
Notice: gimbal will goes to gyro calibration automatically if the gimbal stays still with the power on.The gimbal will works in the mode that is used last time.Thefactory work mode for the gimbal is angle mode.
