# FlytBase AI-R: Automated Gimbal Tracking Gimbal Track automates visual tracking of moving objects detected by AI-R, allowing the drone to hover in a fixed position while the camera autonomously follows a selected target. This eliminates the need for constant manual gimbal adjustment, enabling operators to focus entirely on evidence capture and situational assessment. {% embed url="" %} ### Key Capabilities and How to Use It Gimbal Track is designed for security and surveillance operations where maintaining continuous, stable visual lock on a moving subject is critical. #### Automated Tracking Once activated, the system takes over camera orientation, smoothly adjusting the gimbal's pitch and yaw to keep the selected target centered in the frame. * Hands-Free Operation: The drone remains stationary and hovers in place, freeing the operator to manage media capture (photo/video) while the system tracks. * Zoom Preservation: The zoom level is preserved from the moment tracking is enabled, ensuring consistent footage quality throughout the pursuit. ### How to Enable Gimbal Track 1. Prerequisite: Ensure AI-R detection (people and/or vehicle) is active. 2. Position: The drone must be airborne and the target must be visible in the zoom camera view. 3. Zoom: Set your desired zoom level before starting the track, as this setting will be maintained. 4. Enable Auto Tracking: Turn on the Auto tracking option within the AI detection menu. 5. Select the target: To start Gimbal tracking, click on the AI-detected object you want to track in the video feed. 6. Stop tracking: Tracking stops automatically if you switch to IR or wide-angle camera mode, or if you issue a movement command (GTL, mission resume, or manual controls). You can also use the stop button to end Gimbal Track at any time. ### When to Use Gimbal Track This feature significantly enhances documentation quality in scenarios that demand stable, centered visual evidence. * Active Surveillance: Maintain a continuous visual lock on a person or vehicle of interest as they move through the area. * Perimeter Breach Response: Immediately lock onto a detected intruder upon an AI-R alert. * Evidence Collection: Capture stable, centered footage of subject actions for incident reporting and movement pattern analysis. ### Hardware and Firmware Requirements * Hardware Compatibility: Supported on DJI Dock 1, Dock 2, and Dock 3 (requires the FlytBase AI-R hardware unit). * Firmware Requirement: Gimbal Track requires AI-R firmware v1.0.5 or above. If your unit is running an earlier version, please contact to schedule your AI-R firmware update.
