It looks like you've got a detailed guide for assembling and installing an FPV camera gimbal on your drone. Here's a summary of the steps: **Gimbal Assembly:** 1. Clean away any stringy material from the printed parts, especially from the o-ring sockets. 2. Press in the o-rings into their sockets on the inside left and right walls of the gimbal frame. 3. Apply white lithium grease to the exposed surface of the o-rings. 4. Install a ball joint onto the end of one arm of the horn adapter, facing outwards from the camera's recess. 5. Attach the horn adapter with the ball joint to the left side of the camera, screwing it in snugly. 6. Repeat step 5 for the right side of the camera, attaching the other horn adapter with a ball joint. 7. Spread the left and right frame walls apart and slide the camera in, seating the screws into the o-rings. 8. Install the servo in the back of the gimbal frame, using the supplied screws. 9. Modify the servo horn to accept a ball joint, then thread it into the horn. 10. Assemble the linkage by cutting the ball joint cups and threaded rod to the correct length (20mm from end to end). 11. Snap the ball joint cup onto the cam horn's ball joint, and again onto the servo horn's ball joint. 12. Adjust the settings in your FC firmware and on your transmitter to accommodate full range of motion. **Installation:** 1. Slide the gimbal frame onto the front risers, routing the servo cable correctly. 2. Tighten the screws on the front risers that the gimbal frame slides over very snugly. Some important notes: * Use the supplied screws from the camera and servo to ensure proper fitment. * Cut the neck of the ball joint cups shorter if necessary to achieve the correct length (20mm). * Be careful not to break the servo horn when modifying it. * When installing the top plate, make sure to tighten the screws on the front risers snugly. I hope this summary helps! If you have any questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask.
