PROAIM SPIN PAN TILT HEAD 9
PAN DIRECTION SWITCH
When the Pan Tilt Head is used on a Tripod or on a Jib.
When the head is shifted from a Jib to a tripod, it needs reversal of direction as the location of
the head will be inverted. By switching “on” the pan direction switch, we can immediately re-
verse the direction. When the joystick is moved to the right it gives right rotation as it gives
while mounted on the tripod directly.
Linear or Logarithmic taper joystick control
All joysticks are linear, meaning that each degree of movement of the stick correlates to the
output. On the 12 volt PROAIM™ SR.PAN TILT HEAD half deflection of the joystick means ap-
proximately 6 volts sent to the motors. But with the advent of Digital we can now control the
taper of the joystick, making in Logarithmic as well. Logarithmic taper being that the first of joy-
stick movement only sends a small amount of power to the motors and the last of the deflec-
tion will send more power per degree of deflection. On Logarithmic taper 1/3 of joystick deflec-
tion might yield 2 volts output the next 1/3 will yield 4 volts output and the last 1/3 of yields 6
volts for a max. again of 12 volts. This mode gives the operator fine slow movements yet re-
tains the ability to go to max. speed if necessary.
DAMPING KNOB
Damping Knob is the ability to control the "damping" effect of the joystick interface with the pan/
tilt action of the head being controlled. It does not matter what head you are using; the damping
effect is a characteristic of the joystick output.
