    Gimbal Control The control dial wheels for the gimbal yaw and pitch could control the yaw and pitch. The Back-to-center button of the gimbal could let the gimbal return to the initialization place. ※ The type of the gimbal in the above picture is only for indication. Different types of gimbals are used for different aircrafts with different configurations.
  • Page 14 Gimbal There are a total of three types of gimbals for ProDrone Byrd series products, and completely new integrated control algorithm is applied to them, making the high definition three-axle stabilization gimbal. The jittering of the angel is ±0.05°. Therefore, when the big maneuvering flight is made, stabilized pictures and videos could also be shot.
