dynamic torque, it is highly recommended that Low Hold Power Mode be
used when appropriate for your load. Regular hold power is intended to be
used for brief periods when very high holding torque may be required; this
requirement is rare. Regular hold power mode should be avoided or used
sparingly, as its use for long periods of time can lead to significant motor
and controller heating (depending on ambient temperature).
backdrive the unit when stationary. Backdriving will cause the controller to
lose track of pan-tilt position, and this requires that the unit be reset (see
Section 4.5.1). Backdriving is more likely on the tilt axis which has higher
torque applied to it by the load.
