How does Apple DockKit select a subject to track?
1. If no head is visible, the gimbal will first detect a body, then tilt the camera upward to find and track the head.
2. If a person's head is blocked, the gimbal will turn to track other visible people.
3. If multiple people are detected, the gimbal will adjust the angle and composition to include as many people as possible.
4. When tracking a single person, if they turn their head or move, the gimbal will adjust to maintain the best framing.
5. When switching between the front and rear cameras, the gimbal will automatically rotate 180° to quickly reposition and continue tracking.
6. If the tracked subject is lost, the gimbal will immediately start tracking a new person who appears in the frame. (It cannot lock onto or return to the previous subject.)

After the first connection, do I need to relink Apple DockKit for future use?
Once you've connected for the first time, simply turn on Bluetooth and mount your phone on the gimbal. DockKit will connect automatically, and you won't need to use NFC pairing again.
If it does not connect automatically after a while, follow the initial setup steps to relink.
