PWM control function:

 

 

 

The  gimbal  can  use  PWM  channels  (control  signal  of  the  servo)  to  control  the 

pitch angle of the gimbal and the camera recording start and stop function; 

 

 

First,  please  connect  the  PWM  signal  line  with  ground  wire  to  the  channels 

which are controlled by the three-positions switch of your radio receiver. 
 

When  switched  to  the  center  position,  the  camera  will  be  on  STAND-BY.  One 

end  of  the  3 position  switch  will be record  video,  the  other one  end  will  be  take  a 
picture  . 

NOTE

:

  This  is  not  an  automatic  shooter.  The  camera  will  take  only  one 

picture at a time.

 After you take a picture, the camera will come back to the STAND-

BY  status  automatically.  For  taking  the next  picture,  please move  the  switch  to  the 
center position and then switch it again to the “take picture” position.

PWM Shooter Control:

 

 

(1) The white line is used to control the camera. The remote control uses a 3-

segment  switch.  When  the  switch  is  in  the  neutral  position  and  the  amount  of 
rudder  is  0,  it  is  a  waiting  interface.  When  the  camera  is  recording,  the  rudder 
volume is less than -50% for the camera to take a picture.
