What the thread found

• When a shot must end in low mode at wide-angle framing, operators typically switch between High and Low modes using the MGT-2 joystick or hand off tilt control to a second operator, though the joystick-operated mode switch is described as cumbersome.
• Follow Mode, where tilt behaves like a Steadicam® arm with joystick correction similar to back-panning, allows faster, more controlled, and more natural tilt movements during mobile coverage without requiring rig modifications.
• High-to-Low moves with a reticle locked to a subject's face may show small jumps resembling dropped frames; joystick tilt control risks overshoot if not managed carefully.
• Some operators prefer pure Trinity mode because it allows better improvisation, particularly when the rig is carried crosswise in front of the body in an Omega-like configuration.

Depends on

• Follow Mode versus pure Trinity mode preference varies by shot type, camera framing, and operator improvisation style.
