AlexMOS Stabilization controller.
The Phoenix A10 uses the AlexMOS 3 axis stabilization controller
by Basecam Electronics to provide stabilization. Adjustment and
tuning of the controller is done by a graphical user interface (GUI)
utility. Figure 18. The GUI is run from a PC (.exe file) or Mac (.jar
file). The GUI will allow you to adjust many control and
stabilization parameters. Each individual camera/lens combination
you may use will require slight tuning adjustments to the PID gain,
power, and follow mode parameters within the GUI You can
download and review the AlexMOS manual and GUI software

Connection of the controller to the GUI is done by a USB Micro port on the bottom of the controller
case. Figure 19. For more details on tuning the controller with the GUI please check out a great article

Shoulder Rig Yaw Motor ‘Invert’ Setting.
When the A10 is configured in shoulder rig mode the yaw motor ‘invert’ setting must be checked in the
GUI. This is required because the A10 must be inverted when run in shoulder rig configuration. This
causes the yaw axis to be reversed. If you do not check the ‘invert’ setting the yaw axis will wander left
and right.
