Follow-Mode - Continued
Follow Frame – Here you can set additional criteria, when the roll-axis should be unlocked and should
follow the orientation of the Gimbal. Namely as a function of the orientation of the pitch.
Follow ROLL start,deg – Set the angle (in degrees) of the camera pitching up or down, where the roll
axis enters follow mode. Below this angle, roll is in lock mode.
Follow ROLL mix,deg – Set the range (in degrees) of the camera pitching, where the roll axis is
gradually switched from the 'lock' mode to 'follow' mode.
Anmerkung:
1. The setting Follow ROLL start,deg = 90° and Follow ROLL mix,deg = 0° (90,0) deactivates
the follow mode of the roll axis completely.
2. The setting Follow ROLL start,deg = 0° and Follow ROLL mix,deg = 0° (0,0) activates the
follow mode of the roll-axis independently of the pitch.
Deadband – This setting reduces smaller jerking up to the set angle, for example, if the Gimbal is hand
carried. This function is only provided with enabled speed mode.
Expo curve – The greater this value is, the more softly and more slowly the movements are in the
narrower area of the starting point. But the movements become quicker with increasing angles and the
positioning will be exponentially more imprecise.
Speed – Here you can set the rotation speed of the single axes in the follow mode.
LPF – Over this Low Pass Filter you can reduce jerking at quick movements. The higher the value, the
smoother will be the movements. I fact, the adjusting requires some practise, so that no undesirable
oscillations occur.
Tip
Function!
For high speed values above 50 it's strongly recommended to
set “LPF” parameter greater than 3, “Expo curve” parameter greater than
50, and “Dead-band” parameter greater than 3-5 degrees. Otherwise,
wrong system operation is possible, like vibrations and jerks under follow
control, and overshoot of target.
Tip
Function!
It's recommended to not set the “LPF” parameter below 2.
