Can the controller be programed to adjust the roll.. Much like the tilt or pan. The reason I ask is because I have a shot that needs to have the roll while walking back. I was wondering if this can be done?
You're able to map functions in the software. Currently the roll trim controller rotates 10 deg I think. Have a play with remapping things and let us know how you go. I am interested in changing roll on the fly to get quick dutch angle shots set up.
The answer is yes. I've done it to mine. I am still thinking about doing a tutorial, but the feature is not as cool as I had hoped.
Austin: Any chance you could post the procedure on the forum so others can benefit from it, please? Andy.
You guys are twisting my arm… I really don't like it how it is, but I don't have time right now to try and figure out how to make it better . I'm posting up a video now and I'll embed in this thread once it's ready.
Not twisting, Justin, just asking very nicely, coupled with some persuasive whimpering.... But Vinnie and da boys are standing by just in case.... Andy.
I'm hoping that we can find ways to improve this. If you try this, please offer feedback/ideas if you can. And, naturally, DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!
Thanks, Justin. You may find that just reducing the rudder tension all the way down has the effect of removing the left/right centering spring. This doesn't seem to be covered in the DX7S manual (at http://www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/SPM7800-Manual_EN.pdf). But on page 11 and 12 of the DX7 (no S) manual at http://www.spektrumrc.com/ProdInfo/Files/DX7_Manual.pdf there is a description of what I mean -- I just don't know whether the same adjustments are present on the DX7s. Andy.
Thanks! I made the mistake of looking in the table of contents. Duh. You might want to remove the back and then undo the screw for left/stick left right -- the caution that if you undo too far that the spring can drop off is probably just what you want to have happen -- except you don't want the spring swilling around inside the case! Andy.
