your needs. The rotation of an outer frame or handles does
not
affect the camera within this degree band. This setting helps
to skip small pan jerks when you operate gimbal by hands
during fast or dynamic movements.
Expo curve: you can specify the strength of the follow mode
when the outer frame moves left/right or up/down from a
neutral position. For example: when the expo curve is
enabled (i.e. is not flat), small or medium declination of an
outer frame will cause very fine control even if I-term is
configured high. But the strength of control exponentially
grows when angles of declination becomes close to 60
degrees. It gives a big freedom in camera operation: from
fine and smooth control to very fast movements.
• OFFSET: it is a very important to properly configure the initial
position of the motor's magnetic poles, because all further
calculations use this information.
For YAW axis you can adjust the zero point heading relative
to the frame heading – so if you notice that the camera is
offset just slightly from center to the left or right and is not
straight in line you can raise or lower this value to adjust the
camera angle.
For PITCH and ROLL axis there is an option to calibrate offset
automatically. To do this, power on system, hold frame
leveled, and press AUTO button. Don't forget to write setting
when finished. If the camera after power on is not leveled,
you need to adjust the offset setting. (This is preconfigured
when shipped)
Speed: This value allows you to adjust the speed of the
camera rotation for a specific axis. A higher value nets a
faster camera movement, a lower values nets a slower
camera movement. Don’t set too high of values that the
motors can’t handle (MAX 10). If the value is too high the
motors will skip steps and the stabilization synchronization will
be off – causing the gimbal to act erratic. If a high value is
desired make sure to have the acceleration limiter set so
that it will help to set a larger speed value without causing
the motors to skip or miss steps.
