Using the Software PC/MAC – PID control

5.10 Fine-tuning by adjusting the PID settings – ADVANCED

In this chapter, we will show you how to optimally set the Gimbal to your camera weight by adjusting the PID

control parameter.

Note

Tip!

We have saved the optimal PID settings for several standard cameras in

a database.

5.10.1 Manually optimising the PID control settings

Manually

optimize

the PID control settings.

Before you start ensure that the Gimbal is

stable. For general information on mechanisms

of the PID parameter read  2.5 Fine-tuning

using the SimpleBGC software

2. Select the setting Gain = 1 (direct multiplier for

the P and D value) and the value for Outer P =

100 (speed of angle correction, standard

setting Outer P = 100) for all three axes.

3. Optimize the settings as described, only for one

axis at a time. When one has been aligned, you

can begin with the next.

4. Set the respective axis to P=10, I=0.01 and

D=10 at the beginning of the values.

5. In the monitoring register you can see how

stable your system is. The result after

successful fine-tuning can be seen in the

adjacent illustration and below that an example

of when the system is not yet working stably.
