4. In 3D Roll 360 mode, the tilt axis will rotate 90°, and the camera lens will face straight upward. Then, you can control the joystick to rotate the pan axis 360° to create a time tunnel effect.
5. In Custom mode, you can manually set any axis of the three axes to follow.

The RS Intelligent Tracking Module only supports detecting human subjects and does not support other subjects.
It supports tracking only one subject at a time.
It supports two methods: center the subject or keep current framing.
Center the subject: When the user initiates tracking with gesture/trigger, the composition will be automatically adjusted, moving the subject to the center of the frame.
Keep current framing: When the user initiates tracking with a gesture/trigger, the composition will remain unchanged.
Open palm (either hand): Start/stop tracking;
V sign (either hand): Start/stop recording;
You can also disable gesture control through the screen menu.
Due to differences in cameras, lenses, and filming distances, not all cameras can achieve centered composition as required. In this case, it is recommended to use the joystick to adjust the composition.
When using the flashlight mode or filming at a low angle during intelligent tracking and composition, ensure that the battery grip or the briefcase handle is always in the same the direction of the lens. Otherwise, the gimbal may lose control and sway, affecting the camera movement.
Avoid using it in backlit scenarios, as this may result in losing the subject and affect the camera movement. It is recommended to use in environments with three people or fewer.
