Control Channel Configuration

There are 6 channels to assign: MODE, TILT, ROLL, PAN, TILT SPEED, PAN SPEED.

Assign MODE channel first then follow the order above because MODE channel is used to change operating modes of the gimbal and should be assigned to a 3-position switch, the operation mode of each switch level is adjustable as follow:

  • Switch at high position: OFF | LOCK | FOLLOW MODE/MAPPING MODE

  • Switch at middle position: OFF | LOCK | FOLLOW MODE/MAPPING MODE

  • Switch at low position: OFF | LOCK | FOLLOW MODE/MAPPING MODE

TILT and PAN channel should be in speed mode and ROLL channel in angle mode.

TILT SPEED or PAN SPEED could be assigned to the same channel and should be assigned to throttle stick, dial, or other non-centering control on the transmitter.

Below is an example of channel assignment to the Futaba T8FG.
