Take Complete Control


Six Degrees of Freedom:

  • Dolly: Move Forward & Backward.
  • Track: Move Left & Right.
  • Lift: Move Up & Down.
  • Tilt: Rotate Up & Down.
  • Pan: Rotate Left & Right.
  • Roll: Spin Clockwise & Counterclockwise.

Six Action Operators: 

  • Smooth Operator: Combined input from L2 & R2 — the most sensitive buttons.
  • Operator: Combined input from L1 & R1 — limited by the nature of the buttons.
  • Left Wheel X: Left Joystick Vertical Axis
  • Left Wheel Y: Left Joystick Horizontal Axis
  • Right Wheel X: Right Joystick Vertical Axis
  • Right Wheel Y: Right Joystick Horizontal Axis

Assign any operator to each of the six camera axes—individually, or using preset modes. Customize your control to suit your style and workflow.
