Why is my phone not level when it is in the gimbal?

This will happen if you power on the gimbal incorrectly. When you power it on, make sure the roll axis is on the RIGHT side. This will keep it level. Also, you can check to see if you have the counterweight in. 


The cord is to charge your Go Pro while you are using the gimbal.

How do I register for my warranty card?

We currently do not have a registry for the warranty. The warranty card is necessary only to send in along with the defective gimbal in order to receive your replacement.

 


What do I do if my gimbal is shaking, off balanced, or only going up and down?

First, we suggest upgrading your device on our website. We include youtube videos depending on whether you are using a Mac or Microsoft.

The next thing you can check is to see if your gimbal has a black sticker on the side of the pitch axis. This is where the Go Pro or phone sits against. The sticker acts as a cushion between the gimbal and device. If it doesn't, please email us at support@welcometoskylab.com and we will ship you one.

Another common reason for this is if your screws are not tight enough. Make sure you screw them in all the way and that your Go Pro or phone is touching the black sticker.

It is always best to update to the latest firmware. We recommend subscribing to our newsletter on our webpage in order to receive updates.


We do not recommend using the gimbal with any cases or other accessories because it can throw off the balance. 

Can I use a case on my phone for the smartphone gimbal or go pro?


Yes, that is standard, the gimbal uses "inverted" controls. The controls are not adjustable.

 

 

My controls are opposite, is that normal?
