    Adaptive PID gains – Selectively for each axis

    This settings group lets to adaptively decrease PID gains, when the system becomes unstable due to
    high PID gains. For example, system may be tuned very well in certain position, but it may become
    completely unstable in different position. Self-excitation may cause strong vibration, that may negatively
    affect gimbal construction and may be even dangerous for the camera. Also, when vibration
    accidentally comes, it may brake whole footage. Possible workaround is to use adaptive PID control.

    Digital Filters

    Notch Filters

    These filters can reject narrow bandwidth. They can help in case when the system has a pronounced
    mechanical resonance.

    Low-pass filter

    Applying this filter can be needed for large gimbals (heavy cameras with high moment of inertia) or for gimbals
    with reduction gear. The working frequency range for them are lower than of the lightweight gimbals. But factor
    D of PID-regulator increases feedback the more, the higher frequency.
