Take Complete Control

Six Degrees of Freedom:

• Dolly: Move Forward & Backward.
• Track: Move Left & Right.
• Lift: Move Up & Down.
• Tilt: Rotate Up & Down.
• Pan: Rotate Left & Right.
• Roll: Spin Clockwise & Counterclockwise.

Six Action Operators: 

• Smooth Operator: Combined input from L2 & R2 — the most sensitive buttons.

Assign any operator to each of the six camera axes—individually, or using preset modes. Customize your control to suit your style and workflow.
