2. Remove the rubber cap from the gimbal and pull

down on the gimbal handle to release it from its

stowed position.

3. Slide the battery cover off, install the batteries

that came in your eVo package, and then slide the

battery cover back on.

4. On the top stage, extend the spring-loaded,

top-most portion of the phone mount to

release it from its stowed position and then

lift up to open the phone mount.

5. Install your phone into the phone mount by

inserting your phone at an angle and straightening

it up into the spring-loaded mount.

3. Side-to-Side: Your phone is the weight that will

balance your eVo side-to-side.

If the eVo is tilting to the left, slide your phone to the

right until the eVo stage levels horizontally. If the eVo

is tilting to the right, slide your phone to the left until

the eVo stage levels horizontally.

All Steadicam stabilizers work through a mass-based balancing setup. The eVo

is unique in that it’s the next evolution of Steadicam, where an electronic

motor assists the operator by maintaining the balance they achieved during set

up. Like all Steadicam stabilizers, the eVo has a 3-axis gimbal, so we will

balance the eVo along 3 axes: top-to-bottom, front-to-back, and side-to-side.

1. Top-to-Bottom: Your phone is the top weight and

must be counterbalanced at the bottom using the

adjustment wheel or adding balance weights at

the base of the eVo.

The bottom weight should begin at position 1.

Hold the eVo by the handle and observe how it

behaves: if the eVo is seeking a horizontal

orientation, install one of the included balance

weights on the bottom. If the eVo is still seeking a

horizontal orientation, install another one of the

included balance weights.

2. Front-to-Back: The adjustment knob on the stage

controls your front-to-back balance by moving the

position of your phone along the stage.

If the eVo is tilting forward, turn the adjustment

knob clockwise to tilt it backward. If the eVo is tilting

backward, turn the adjustment knob

counterclockwise to tilt it forward.
