1. What is the Satellite Universal Gimbal Thumb Controller?
My gimbal already has "Majestic Mode", why would I want a gimbal thumb controller? Majestic Mode is great for many shots, but Satellite gives you way more flexibility and control for shots where Majestic Mode is not useful. For example, static shots (such as car scenes, helicopter, or any static shot) you just want the gimbal to be static and not move. YOu may also want more creative framing. this is possible with "Majestic+Tilt Control" where you can still rely on the pan control of Majestic Mode but control the tilt.
2. Why is the Satellite called "Universal"?
Unlike other gimbal thumb controllers that are limited to one type of gimbal, Satellite is compatible with Freefly MoVI, MoVI Pro, Ronin, and other sbus-compatible gimbals. One Satellite is universally usable across all these gimbals.
3. Is Satellite compatible with Ronin-2?
Not yet. The Ronin-2 has a completely different cable design from Ronin gimbals. When the Ronin-2 is released, we anticipate the Satellite will be compatible once we create the Ronin-2 cable.
5. Can I use it with a Freefly MoVI gimbal (non-MoVI Pro)?
Yes, just use the provided sbus cable instead of the MoVI Pro API cable
6. Where can I mount the Satellite?
You can mount it anywhere on your gimbal, even sideways. Satellite has a unique mapping feature you can use to orient it striaght or at 90 degrees, such as on a cross-bar.
7. What cameras can I use with the Satellite camera run/stop feature?
Satellite is the only thumb controller with camera run/stop button. To use it, you will need a cable that is compatible with your camera. Please check our list of available Satellite run/stop cables.
For MoVI Pro, the run/stop function works through the MoVI Pro. This means Satellite supports run/stop for any camera Freefly has a MoVI Pro run/stop cable.
