Getting Started

To ensure the gimbal steering for the 6X Series Sensors will work for Inspired Flight aircraft two things need to be checked:

Verify that the 6X is on firmware version 3.13.1 or higher

Verify that the Inspired Flight compatibility parameters are set on the aircraft


Manual Gimbal Control

To manually control the gimbal use the rocker wheel on the left hand side of the herelink controller.

Pushing the wheel to the right will point the gimbal downwards (NADIR).

Pushing the wheel to the left will point the gimbal forward.


Automated Gimbal Control

To set a gimbal angle for a mapping mission do the following:

  1. Navigate to the Plan screen

  2. Select Survey (or other mission type)

  3. Select the Waypoint option from the left hand menu

  4. Place a waypoint into the flight plan

  5. In the waypoint mission item on the right hand side of the screen select the camera drop down menu.

  6. Check the gimbal options box, then enter your desired gimbal pitch angle.

  7. Then plan the rest of your flight as normal. The gimbal will change the pitch angle of the sensor at the waypoint and remain at that pitch angle throughout the rest of the mission. to add additional gimbal pitch changes use the same method between survey mission items, or plan a waypoint mission and add the gimbal change commands as desired.
