Mode description

The gimbal controls the lens' orientation through the pan axis (horizontal rotation), pitch axis (vertical rotation), and roll axis (left-right tilt) to achieve stable shooting. The following gimbal modes are available:

Mode	Core Features	Applicable Shooting Scenarios
Roll Lock (Default)	The pitch and pan axes rotate following the handle, while the roll axis always remains horizontal	The frame stays horizontal; ideal for most scenarios such as vlogging, selfies, and daily casual shooting
Roll & Tilt Lock	Only the pan axis rotates following the handle; the pitch axis is locked, and the roll axis remains horizontal	The frame stays horizontal, and the tilt direction remains fixed; ideal for creative shots that require a stable frame angle, such as smooth push-in/pull-out and lateral movements
Omnidirectional Follow	The lens direction fully follows the motion of the handle; the frame is not forced to remain horizontal. Two sub-modes are available: FPV: The gimbal freely rotates following the handle in all directions; ideal for various personalized creative camera movements FPV-V: The gimbal freely rotates following the handle in all directions; when the gimbal is recentered, the optical axis is perpendicular to the handle.	This mode provides a more immersive dynamic perspective, ideal for creative camera movements and first-person view shooting
Lock Mode	All three axes (pitch, roll, and pan) do not follow the handle, locking the camera orientation.	Ideal for push‑in/pull‑out, lateral movements, lifting, high‑to‑low angle changes, and other scenarios where a stable frame is required

3. Besides mechanical gimbal stabilization, does the camera support Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS)? / How do I set stabilization when shooting?

• Luna Ultra: Manual stabilization setting is not supported. When shooting in the Video / PureVideo Mode at 4K@60fps or lower, EIS is automatically enabled when you set the zoom level to 3.5x or higher.
• Luna Pro: Manual stabilization setting is not supported. EIS is automatically enabled when you shoot in the TimeShift mode.
