Files in the Pictures folder are both 52 megapixel images and 4K videos. From the pictures folder, you can e-
mail or text the files. Alternatively, the user can connect the screen to a computer via the USB port and
transfer files that way.
Best Practices
Using the Boom Camera as a Screening Tool
In many scenarios, the Boom Camera will be used simply as a screening tool to help look around objects,
illuminate dark spaces, and check in tight areas. Here are the key steps to using the Boom Camera:
1.
Adjust the length of the system so it is comfortable being
held in a “metal detector” like fashion
a.
When resting, the camera head should be close to the floor, but not touching
2.
Use the LEDs to improve the image quality in dark spaces
a.
White LEDs can be operated either by pressing the smart device button or the grip
switch
b.
IR LEDs, used for tactical scenarios, are activated with the touch screen
3.
Practice with the different gimbal modes
a.
The gimbal mode on power-up is our
favorite, but it doesn’t allow you to turn the
gimbal left or right
Troubleshooting
Gimbal Balance and Vibration
DA balances the gimbal before it leaves our shop. However, the gimbal could be knocked out of balance
during use. A well-balanced gimbal, when left unpowered, will stay where the user points it by hand. The
cables of the Boom Camera somewhat prevent this, but the gimbal should be easily moved through it’s
normal travel without it rapidly swinging (when let go).
