 Notes                                                                 

 
Pan and Tilt Home Positions can be defined by the user.  
 
A virtual model of the 

Camball

 can be downloaded from Cast Software.  This can be used 

directly with the 

BlackTrax

 software for motion tracking.

There is a little backlash in the pan & tilt axes.  This may be noticeable on very tight lens angles 
when moving to a position from different directions. The VR versions use the shaft encoders so 
this effect is not apparent.
