Lock Mode
In Lock Mode, the yaw, pitch and roll axis work together to keep the camera pointed in one direction. The camera's composition will stay the same no matter how you move the handle.

Lock Mode
Lock Mode will allow the camera to hold a certain direction and will not follow, pan or tilt.
Pan-Follow Mode
Pan-Follow Mode allows the gimbal to follow pan axis and hold the tilt position.
Follow Mode
Follow Mode allows the camera to follow both tilt and pan directions.
3-Axis Follow Mode

Dual Grip Gimbal Handle & Tray
Controlling your MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 Beholder Gimbal is a breeze with iKan's DGH Dual Grip Gimbal Handle! Constructed out of durable, lightweight, aluminum, the DGH's sturdy frame is specifically designed to make gimbal operation much easier. After mounting your MS-Pro, DS1 or EC1 on it, two comfortable, padded grip handles allow you to control the gimbal's movement with your upper body instead of your wrist. The shift in weight greatly increases stability and decreases arm fatigue.
