Two of Thermal’s main assets are its gimbal tilt control capabilities (180°, from the
ground to the sky), and its zoom. This section presents these features and the way to
activate them.
Gimbal tilt control
Thermal’s gimbal tilt control is activated through the left trigger of Parrot
Skycontroller 3. It is available in all video and photo modes, and in all manual piloting modes.
- To aim the gimbal toward the ground, push the tilt control trigger down.
- To aim the gimbal toward the sky, pull the tilt control trigger up.
- To reset the gimbal tilt to a horizontal position, press the optics reset button on the
left of Parrot Skycontroller 3 (this action also resets the zoom factor of the lens to x1).
Zoom control
Thermal’s zoom control is activated through the right trigger of Parrot Skycontroller 3.
It is available in all video modes, and in JPEG RECT photo mode (with an impact on the final
resolution of your pictures). WIDE photo modes imply the use and rendering of all 21MP
delivered by Thermal’s CMOS sensor: zoom is deactivated in both WIDE photo modes.
- To zoom in on a subject, push the zoom trigger down.
- To zoom out, pull the zoom trigger up.
- Pressing the optics reset button on the left of Parrot Skycontroller 3 instantly resets
the zoom factor of the lens to x1 (this action also resets the gimbal tilt to a horizontal
position).
The HUD of FreeFlight 6 presents precise, decimal-by-decimal zoom information at all times,
in the middle of the left side of the screen, as shown on the following screen captures – note
that in these examples, Thermal’s gimbal is tilted all the way toward the ground.
