    Hi friends.

    Setting up my C8 and 360 gimbal with radians, i just want to know how you set up the camera op TX.
    My first setting is tilt on the right stick and pan on the left stick.
    Thinking of having both tilt and roll on the rigtht stick.
    What do you prefer?
    Any other and better options?
    What seems best and easiest to learn for any new camera op?
    Regards from cold Sweden, -22C outside today.

    I would think that running pan on the left and tilt on the right would enable the camera op to get more precise movements. It may be hard to get used to but better once they got it. Having said that I've never flown as the camera op... No one to fly the copter..

    My cam op has tried it both ways... they seem to like the pan on left, tilt on right. Main reason is sometimes they start a pan or tilt but move the stick on the other axis and this causes an un-planned movement on the other axis. By having them on different sticks this can't happen.

    one stick for both seems more intuitive and natural to me, especially when doing a combo of both panning and tilting which is often the case.
