The items will ship separately and in their original packaging for safety. Follow these steps to set up the ILX-LR1 on the X55.

  • Gather the X55, payload case, and the additional items provided with the kit.

  • Open the payload case, and if the mounting plate is not already installed, mount it to the X55 rails

  • Install the electrical connectors between the X55 and the mounting plate (if not already installed)

  • Remove the dust cover from the gimbal, line up the white marks on the gimbal and the damping plate, and carefully insert the gimbal into the connector. Make sure the locking mechanism is fully unlocked. Once the gimbal is inserted, lock the mechanism by twisting fully towards the locked position.

  • Make sure you have a storage card in the camera with enough space

  • Remove the lens cap from the camera

  • Install a Power Module to the X55 (Battery Module shown here), so that you will be able to power up the X55 during configuration when needed.

  • Hardware setup completed.
