Use the gimbal dial on the Ground System to control the pitch movement of the camera in the single Ground System mode, however, you cannot pan the camera.
3.1 Ground System Operations 3.3.1 Powering On and Off the Ground System The Lightbridge 2 Ground System is powered by a 2S rechargeable battery with a capacity of 6000mAh. The battery level is indicated by the Battery Level LEDs on the front panel.

3.3.2 Charging Ground System Charge the Ground System via the provided charger. 3.3.3 Controlling Aircraft This section explains how to use the various features of the Ground System. Mode 2 (throttle stick on the left) is set by default. Stick Neutral/mid point: Control sticks of the Ground System are placed at the central position.
Page 21
Moving the Left Stick up/down changes aircraft’s elevation. Push it up to ascend and down to descend. Use this stick to take off when the motors are spinning at idle speed. The aircraft will hover in place if the Left Stick is released. Moving the Left Stick left/right changes the heading of the aircraft.

3.2 Setting up Dual Ground Systems Mode The Dual Ground Systems mode is disabled by default. Users must enable this feature on the Master Ground System through the DJI GO app. Follow the steps below for setup: Master Ground System: 1.
Page 24
4. Enter the connection password for the Slave Ground System. Slave Ground System: 1. Select Slave in the Set RC Status section to set the Ground System as the Slave Ground System.
The Ground System cannot link to the aircraft or control aircraft movement if it is set to Slave. Set the Ground System as Master in the DJI GO app if you want to link the Ground System to the aircraft.
