I've been doing some testing of the vertical tilt using the ST16S whilst the H520 / E90 is static on the ground in preparation for my first proper job doing a little filming. I'm torn between Angle and Velocity mode - both have issues.
That aside, when in Velocity mode, the 'neutral' point is quite high. And when moving the rear slider up gently (to start moving the camera up slowly) it actually starts moving the camera down!
If I continue to move the slider up more (to increase upward velocity) then the camera stops its downward movement and starts moving upward.
But it essentially renders the Velocity mode unusable :-(
I have checked the channels and done a recalibration (leading me to only have between 4 and 89 degrees of vertical movement in Gimbal Angle mode...) and the channel for the gimbal slider works correctly - moves up and down smoothly with even the smallest of changes. But in practice when connected to the E90 and using Velocity mode, the slow downward movement when the slider is moved up slightly above neutral is still there.
Grrrrrr...
Any thoughts from anyone having experienced anything similar (or with the standard ST16)?
Oh, and I have literally just done the latest firmware updates that came out today (though I have no idea what changes they have made, certainly no new orbit modes, etc...)
