Programming repeatable pan and tilt movements on the Steadicam® T2 head using start/stop angles and wireless RCP control.
What the thread found
- The T2 head supports custom start and stop angles for tilt and roll that can be bound to grip buttons or wireless RCP controls via lbus protocol.
- Motion speed can be set in degrees per second, and the RCP calculates and displays motion duration in seconds.
- When activated, the head moves from one end position to the other and requires a second press to return to the first position.
- One operator reported high accuracy and reliability with firmware SUP 1.5, with only one instance of drift caused by accidentally moving the head while powered on, resolved by power cycling.
- SUP firmware version 3 offered expanded motion programming functions but was withdrawn due to excessive bugs.
- Operators have requested more complex sequence capabilities, including continuous movements to simulate effects like boat motion and looping functions.
Depends on
- Firmware version dependent (SUP 1.5 and SUP 3 behavior differs).
- Requires RCP wireless feature and lbus-compatible control devices.
- Current standard capability limited to start/stop positions rather than complex sequences.
