The zoom speed can be configured with dip switch 1-3. The
chart below explains the different settings.

This will happen when there is either your battery is not fully charged, or
when you do not have a good ground between your camera controller and receiver.
This can be resolved by charging your battery, or by adding additional cables
from the receiver to the controller (even if they are unused). The
controller gets its power from the receiver, so it is important that there is a
good ground between the receiver and the controller. This problem may only
be experienced with certain receivers.
This will occur if the power channel is left in the on state. The
channel must be used like a momentary switch or push button. For example, if you
connect the power channel to an auxiliary switch like landing gear, the switch
must be turned on and then off immediately. The signal should only be on
momentarily. Some users have installed momentary push buttons in their
transmitters that are wired into the paddle switch circuit so that the can
simply push the button and release it without worrying about flipping the switch
back to the off position. Another solution is to replace the switch
existing switch with one that is spring loaded.
This is the same as item 5 above.
If you just can't seem to get things working, try a few of the
troubleshooting steps below.
- Ensure your battery is fully charged
- Ensure that there is you do not have any mixing or throttle curves setup
on any of the channels you are using with the controller.
- Ensure your trims are centered. If they are, try to play around
with them a little to see if your problem goes away. You also might
need to check your sub trims.
- Make sure that if you are using a video camera/camcorder, that you have
the included jumper installed over the MODE pin. Or, if using a still
camera, make sure that the jumper is removed.
- If using a Canon still camera, make sure that Dip Switch 5 is in the on
position.
- You must always place a channel back into the low or neutral (central)
position before attempting to activate another channel. For example,
if you have zoom on the throttle channel, before sending the shutter
command, first place the throttle stick back in the center position.
How do I connect a Canon SLR with
the new N3 style connector?
Canon SLR cameras come with a proprietary shutter trigger
port. The 3 pin port is round and is known as an N3 style connector.
We are no able to purchase these from Canon, so in order to get our controller
to work you will need to make a modification to a wired Canon remote.
These can be purchased from a number of online camera suppliers. We
recommend doing the following so that you can still use your wired remote for
ground work.
- Purchase (1) male 2.5mm stereo headphone plug
- Purchase (1) female 2.5mm stereo headphone jack
- Cut your wired remote so that you have enough cable
on both sides of the cut to work with
- Solder the female jack to the cable with the N3 plug.
- Solder the male jack to the cable with the remote
control.
Now you will be able to plug our cable directly into the
N3 cable. When you want to use your remote for ground work, simply plug
the Canon remote into the N3 cable.
