Maual Control Speed

Description
 

Pitch (X1)

 

Parameter Range: 0 to 100

 

This sets manual control speed.  Higher values for faster control.  For smoother control decrease this value.

 

 

 

NOTE: 

► Only the Pitch axis can be manually controlled.  (X1 channel)

► If the gimbal has a pan axis then you must disable or secure the axis.

 

If a camera operator is desired then a secondary receiver can be used. 

 

For solo photographers the same X1 control, that was used for remote adjustment, can be used to tilt the camera Gimbal.

 

X1 control for the gimbal is always active even if "all knobs" were disabled.

Here's a sample configuration for a secondary camera operator with the 3XPro gimbal.

 

► Use the throttle channel for X1

► Use the throttle stick for tilt control

► You may use a servo or electronic switch to actuate the camera's shutter
