Once the joystick is centered, push twice (2 clicks) to change the joystick throw to half rate (half speed). This will reduce the Movi response by approximately half which will help in making ultra slow movements and corrections. Push the button twice (2 clicks) again to resume full speed movement. When you power up the Movi with the Joystick plugged in, the joystick will always start on full speed mode. The 2 click function break down

• Power up – Full Speed
• 2 clicks – half speed
• 2 clicks – full speed
• 2 click – half speed and so on.

On the fly Mode Change function function

3 clicks on the joystick will change the Modes including Motor-Kill function. When the inputs are set as below the order of operation:

(1) Kill (Off) RED LED: This switch position kills power to the M?VI. This is helpful
in some cases for setup/initialization or if a wire becomes tangled. In
case of any problem or malfunction, the remote operator should
immediately activate the kill switch.

(2) Majestic Mode BLUE LED: This refers to the mode which allows the M?VI operator
to control both pan and tilt axis or just one of them. For some shots, it
is helpful for the M?VI operator to be able to control framing as a
single operator. Some shots are best executed with the M?VI operator
controlling pan, but with the camera operator controlling tilt.

(3) Dual Operator Mode GREEN LED: This 3 position switch allows the remote operator
to change control modes remotely. The top position is “Remote
Operator Mode”, which allows the remote operator to have complete
control over the gimbal. In this mode, the person holding the M?VI has
no control over the camera’s pan/tilt. One important point is that when
completing a shot, it is helpful if the remote operator switches to
Majestic Mode, so that the M?VI operator can move freely with the
M?VI without tangling wires, etc. Without switching to Majestic Mode,
the M?VI will hold its heading regardless of what the M?VI operator
does, which can make it difficult to reset the shot.

The 3 click button operation will mimic the 3 position switch of the RC Radio. Example
