Camera Control Gimbal Camera Tilt Control There is a gimbal tilt mode switch on ST16S labeled “S1.” When the switch is in up/middle position, the ION L1 PRO (or other gimbal system) gimbal camera is in Angle Mode. Use the slider (C) on the under-left side of the ST16S to set the tilt position of the gimbal camera. When the S1 is in the bottom position, the gimbal camera is in Velocity Mode. When the slider (C) is in the middle position, it means the velocity rate is 0 for the ION L1 PRO, disabling tilt.
4. Scroll to the bottom of the directory and click on the gimbal control setting menu. 5. Enter the gimbal control setting interface as shown in the figure below. 6. Setup of the Expo Curve setting of the tilt control of the gimbal. This function is used to adjust the operational curve of the slider for the tilt control slider in the tilt velocity mode of the gimbal, so as to achieve the most user-friendly feeling of the tilt control of the gimbal.
(far away from the origin on both sides) we can found that the curve is very steep, the gimbal tilt angular acceleration will be much bigger than before. This means when you already have a big difference input and even if you only give more or less input a little bit, it will course large gimbal tilt velocity increase or decrease.In other words the steeper the curve is the more sensitive you will feel. NOTICE: the parameter settings range from 0 to 1. 7.
