Silk Recovery Procedures
Overview
This section provides instructional steps to bring your Silk back
to the original pre-configured settings. In the rare event that
you have to reflash your controller due to a corrupt file or
erased memory bank you can also use this section as a
recovery guide.
Prior to performing the recovery steps your camera should
be mounted and balanced and your gimbal should be
mounted to the Silk stand so that the gimbal can move
about freely on the Roll, Pitch and Yaw axis.
Recovery Steps:
