How to use a DJI Gimbal with the iFootage Shark Slider Nano 2 for 4-axis motion control
In this step-by-step tutorial, I’ll show you exactly how to set up the iFootage Shark Slider Nano 2 with a DJI RS gimbal (RS2, RS3, or RS4) to unlock powerful 4-axis camera movement - including keyframed pans, tilts, and even subject tracking using your smartphone.
Whether you're a solo content creator, product videographer, or run-and-gun shooter, this setup gives you cinematic shots without needing a crew.
We’ll start with updating firmware and mounting the gimbal using the supplied adapter, then move on to connecting power and data cables. You'll learn the essential gimbal settings like PTF mode and push mode, how to manually set keyframes using both the slider and the app, and how to use the iFootage app for remote control. I’ll also walk you through two different ways to use smart tracking with your smartphone—including a combo of tracking and programmed slider moves for creative results.
