which is designed and produced by Alware.
Made of High Quality Materials:
The gimbal is made of 3K Carbon Frames, 3K Carbon Booms and high quality Anodized CNC Aluminum
metal parts. These are the lightest and the strongest materials whose make the gimbal looks more
professional and valuable as well as stronger mechanism.
Continuous 360 Degree Panning:
Unlike others, Lensman-18 comes with all 3-Axis controllable movement at once including Tilt axis (0-90°) ,
Roll (±25°) , Pan (continuous 360°). You do not need to worried about to pay for the third axis especially
the most important continuous 360 degree panning axis in the future. This allows the camera operator
complete creative control in framing and camera movement. Careful attention that the landing gear will not

Easy and Rigid Mounting to the Aircraft:
This gimbal use a 5mm (2*2.5mm) thick 3K Carbon Frame which is super rigid to mount onto the bottom
gimbal plate of Streak 800 directly or to DJI S800's Mount Bio-pod with unique metal mounts. Please be
noted that Lensman-18 comes with no landing gear, since we will use the original Landing Gear from DJI
S800 or Streak 800 Hexacopter. This is more environmental friendly and allows you to get this professional
3-Axis gimbal with amazing price!
High Performance Metal Gear Digital Servos:
Servos are the heart of a gimbal. Lensman-18 use three pcs of 360 degree movement digital servos with
metal gears. Two of them is used with an external potentiometer to make the maximum range of the
movement for the gimbal. Together with POM M0.6 Main Gear and M0.6 Metal Servo Gear on the driving
axises, the precision of the gimbal movement can be highly increased.
Easy Assembly Steps:
All Lensman-18 gimbal will be assembled (99% complete) by well-trained technicians and checked
carefully before shipping. You will need only to put your own Laning Gear (from your DJI S800 or Streak
800 Aircraft) with four screws and also the electronic controllers to the Electronic Mount (included) on the
gimbal when you got the Kit. Clear instruction manual could be downloaded easily online.
