Performance Tuning
Overview
The Silk comes preconfigured with PID settings that perform
exceptionally well with cameras ranging from 400-750g. These
settings are regularly used by us for various camera configurations
and net excellent stabilization results.
Depending on your filming style for handheld or aerial use you may
find the need to tune a few parameters in the software such as the
reaction speed or the start and stop points of the follow-mode
features.
If you are doing very high speed moves or are running a camera
payload in the upper range you may find even better stabilization
quality by adjusting some of the PID motor power parameters.
Recommended PID settings for specific cameras are available
from our training/downloads page – these will be updated on a
regular basis.
Optionally manual PID tuning can be done as well with reference
to the Realtime Data tab. See Manual PID tuning section.
Tuning Follow Modes
Both Profiles 1 and 2 have active follow mode features:
Profile 1 – Follow YAW active
Profile 2 – Follow YAW / Follow PITCH, ROLL active
Profile 4 – Disabled
Note that if you make adjustments to Profile 1 and want those
changes to carry over to Profile 2 you must make sure to copy
those values from Profile 1 to Profile 2 and write them to the
controller as both profiles are independent of each other.
