  • Page 28: Functioning Of Spin-3 Axis Joystick Controller

    Functioning of spin-3 Axis Joystick Controller The Joystick is a 3-axis Variable Speed Servo Controller. The further you move in one direction, the faster the output to that motor. This will be a little tricky at first, but little practice will improve your success.
  • Page 29 TILT DIRECTION SWITCH When the head shifts from a Jib to a tripod or vice versa, it needs to be a reversal of direction as the head's location will be inverted. We can immediately reverse the direction by switching "on" the tilt direction switch.
  • Page 30 All joysticks are linear, meaning each degree of stick's movement correlates to the output on the 12-volt PROAIM SR. PAN-TILT HEAD half deflection of the joystick indicates approximately 6 volts sent to the mo- tors. But with the advent of digital technology, we can now control the taper of the joystick, making it log- arithmic.
