It is important to always save your prole so you can restore to your original settings. However
if you have lost your settings we have provided a default set of settings below. Certain options
are unique to your Glidecam CENTURION and are marked “CUSTOM” below. These can be
congured by choosing “AUTO” to automatically congure them to your values (Figure 33). In
Figure 39 the custom values are congured by choosing “CALIB. EL. FIELD”.
**NOTE** If you would like to manually calibrate the Glidecam CENTURION choose IMU Calibration
Helper. You will have to position the camera in each of the axises and register it’s position. A check
mark will appear when the position is registered. In this section you can also calibrate the gyro.
**NOTE** If you have a heavy camera or the shot is shaky you can adjust the PID Controller values. (P)
will add power, (D) will smooth the shot, and (I) is how fast the CENTURION corrects it’s position. To get
a smooth shot it will take adjusting all 3 values. Adding more (P) will make the Glidecam CENTURION
able to handle your heavier camera but may require you add more (D) to smooth the shot now that more
power is used. Reverse for lighter cameras.
**NOTE** The sensor of the Glidecam CENTURION can be reversed to the opposite side. This will require
the Glidecam CENTURION to be calibrated again.
