Anyone got any info on adjusting the gimbal tilt speed of the typhoon h plus? I recall a process I did with the H480 that made it a smooth slow tilt. I've googled it but to no avail.
Yes.
But with the H Plus, there is no need to go into the programming and change the rate curves or add expo.
The H Plus is different from the 480 in that; it has a built in function (Velocity) on the gimbal tilt switch. I have put a cutout view of the manual below but I will try to explain a little further how using the velocity mode on the Plus is different from the 480 but; allows FAR greater control ONCE, you know how to use it.
ANGLE MODE - The top and middle positions of the 3-position Tilt Switch are the same as that of the 480 - when you move the slider to a position - the gimbal tilts at a (unchangeable) constant speed until it reaches a position correlating to the point that you moved the slider.
VELOCITY MODE - The bottom switch position puts the gimbal control into 'Velocity' mode. In this mode, the gimbal can now look up AND down an additional 15 degrees beyond horizontal and vertically straight down. However - the slider now operates differently. Having the slider at center position stops movement, and moving above or below this center position
begins Movement. The key is: the closer to center - the slower it moves in the selected direction and the further away - the faster it moves in the selected direction.
HOW TO USE VELOCITY MODE - The key to operation is being able to 'hear' the audible beep that indicates you are at center when you want to stop. In addition - getting used to using the gimbal rate indicator on the screen will be necessary because the gimbal now will not stop automatically at level (horizon) or straight down. Rather, once movement starts, the gimbal with continue in the direction it is heading until it reaches the plus 15 degrees up or down. So being able to manually 'hit' level horizon or any spot along the tilt path will require the operator to listen for the beep.
VELOCITY MODE IN OPERATION - Lets say for instance; you want to fly along looking forward at the level horizon, and then as you pass over something below that you want to 'slowly' reveal. This operation will require the pilot to first select velocity mode, at which point the gimbal will immediately raise above the horizon 15 degrees. You will need to the lower the gimbal by pulling the slider down and then just as the camera reaches level you will need to return the slider (listening for the beep) to center to stop the camera at center. The process of lowering the camera slowly will now require the pilot to perform the flight and at the right time begin the slow tilt - stopping as necessary by returning the slider to center.
Performing perfectly timed tilts requires just a little practice but once you get used to operating the slider in this mode you will find it very handy when you need to have precise control over the gimbal tilt.
