Ⅰ. Production introduction
The C11 is a compact high-definition 3-axis gimbal equipped with a next-generation imaging chip and paired with an HD distortion-free camera. It offers a wide field of view and clear image quality, with an effective pixel count of 8 million. Boasting powerful 4K video recording and photography capabilities, it captures beautiful moments as they unfold.Supporting 30x digital zoom, it brings distant scenic views up close. Adopting an industrial-grade 3-axis stabilization structure, it significantly reduces image jitter, ensuring the views remains stable at all times. This gimbal is compatible with vehicles of various specifications and sizes.

Ⅴ. Installation and debugging
1. The schematic diagram of the screw hole position and spacing is as follows:
Note: The screw size used to fix the shock absorber plate is M2.5*6, with a quantity of 4 pieces.
When the gimbal is not in use, do not hang it on the drone. Long time suspension will accelerate the deformation of the shock-absorbing ball, leading to a decrease in shock-absorbing effect and jelly phenomenon.
When installing the gimbal, the shock absorption plates shall be kept absolutely perpendicular and parallel to each other. Incorrect installation will cause deformation of the shock absorption ball, resulting in a decrease in shock absorption effect and inability to self check.
2. Gimbal working mode
The hoist mode or upside down mode can be set on the FPV App
Note: The default hoist mode is set before shipping, please do not invert and power on; Please place the gimbal correctly according to the working mode. Incorrect
placement may cause damage to the gimbal motor.

5. Parameter settings for C11
In the parameter settings, camera parameters and functions such as calibrating and upgrading the firmware can be set.
① Pan tilt control
Click on parameter settings ->gimbal control, there are AI follow and other three control ways to choose, which can be chosen simultaneously. (AI follow can be used simultaneously with gesture control,When AI Follow is enabled, the card recording resolution will be automatically changed to 720p, while the card recording resolution will be 4K when AI Follow is disabled.)
(1) C11’s AI follow, after selecting this function, C11 will automatically track the target.
(2) Virtual joystick control, which can control C11 tilt through it, and supports one click return to center function.
(3) Gesture control, controlling C11 tilt by sliding the screen.
(4) Use remote control channel to control it, using custom remote control channels to control C11, as well as functions such as photography and video recording. (The remote control channel can be viewed and queried through the Remote Control Assistant ->Rudder View)
② PTZ calibration
Temperature :Calibrate the temperature of the gimbal during operation to prevent it from malfunctioning due to excessive temperature difference between the ambient environment and the IMU’s operating temperature.
③ Pan tilt fine adjustment
Fine-tune the horizontal axis and tilt axis of the gimbal.
Note: The gimbal calibration has been completed at the factory. Do not click this option unless there is a problem with the gimbal. For the password, please consult SKDROID engineers for details.
④ Operating mode
Can set the C11 in hoist mode or upside down mode
Note: Please place the gimbal correctly according to the working mode. Incorrect placement may cause damage to the gimbal motor.
⑤ speed
The gimbal’s control speed includes uniform speed mode and variable speed mode, The pan-tilt rotation speed can be adjusted.
⑥ HDR
Set HDR on or off, and the device will restart, which will take 30 seconds.
HDR: improves picture quality, but frame rate drops from 25fps to 20fps.
6. System Settings
① Set Encoding Mode
You can set the screen to flip, view the camera firmware version, and display OSD.
② Firmware Upgrade
Upgradeable the C11 firmware and camera firmware. Please do not power off or exit the upgrade interface
during the upgrade process. (When upgrading camera firmware, C11 shall with a TF card inserted)
