Luna Ultra: Gimbal Mode

Applicable Models: Luna Ultra

The Gimbal Mode offers three professional shooting solutions, balancing daily recording and creative camera movement needs, thus helping you easily capture stable, smooth, and versatile high-quality images. This article describes different gimbal modes and how to use them.

How to switch between different gimbal modes

Swipe down from the top of the camera screen to access the "Quick Menu" > tap "Gimbal Mode" > switch the mode options as needed.

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 3 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	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	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 camera body; the frame is not forced to remain horizontal. Two sub-modes are available: FPV: After the camera is powered on or re-centered, the lens automatically returns to a horizontal, forward-facing position FPV-V: After the camera is powered on or re-centered, the lens is oriented perpendicular to the camera body	This mode provides a more immersive dynamic perspective, ideal for creative camera movements and first-person view shooting

Please note: You can enable the "Lock Mode" via custom button assignment. In this mode, the pan, pitch, and roll axes do not follow the handle, locking the camera orientation. This is suitable for push‑in/pull‑out, lateral movements, lifting, high‑to‑low angle changes, and other scenarios where a stable frame is required.
