• Push Mode: after enabling Push, the gimbal axis can be manually pushed to the desired position.

Click Control to set the following parameters:

The channel indicator provides feedback when configuring remote operation. Pan, tilt, and roll channels can be reassigned and each axis can also be inverted. Normal means the direction of movement is the same as the joystick. Inverted means the direction of movement is the opposite of the joystick.

When using the joystick, the user can only control CH1 and CH3, which are mapped to the tilt and pan axes by default. The user can customize channel mapping by tapping on the name of the axis on the right of the screen.

The user can set the joystick control by adjusting deadband, max speed, smoothing, and endpoints for each axis. There are three default profiles for each settings.

• Deadband: when the deadband value increases, more stick movement will be required to translate into the actual movement of the gimbal.
• Max Speed: allows the remote-controlled rotational speed to be adjusted.
• Smoothness: allows the user to control the sensitivity of the gimbal.
• Endpoint: limits the rotational range of the gimbal by setting the endpoints. The pan axis has a slip-ring, enabling DJI RS 3 Mini to rotate continuously when the endpoints are set to 180° . On the tilt axis, the user can set the endpoints according to the desired requirements. Some longer lenses may hit the gimbal frame. Set the endpoint angle to prevent such cases.
