8.1.5 TRACKING TILT
This mode has been added in order to perform a circular movement around a line and allow the tilt
axis to move upside down in one side of that line.
To use this function, point the head perpendicular to the imaginary
line where you want to perform the circular movement and introduce
the distance to that imaginary line using the different DISTANCE
MODES seen in the previous chapter (Manual, Focus M or Focus).
Once it is activated, any movement done by the crane will be corrected
by the head to keep the camera pointing to that imaginary line. If the
crane is moved to the opposite side of the line, the camera will be
facing upside down.
As seen in the diagram, the camera starts in the position A and the
distance from the point A to the imaginary line is introduced into the
system. Once it is activated, the system will recalculate the distance to
the imaginary line in any position of the crane and, in case the crane
moves to the other side of the imaginary line (point B), it will be facing
that line in the upside down position.
This mode can be used together with the arc compensation feature of
the crane to perform a perpendicular movement of the crane respect the
imaginary line and track the same point of that line.
Note: All the restrictions applied to the tracking mode, also applies in the tracking tilt mode,
such as respect the Zero position of the head and the crane all the time that the function is
enabled or the minimal distance to the line of 0.20cm (7.8inches).
