About the DO_MOUNT_CONTROL

Hi All,

I am about to studying DO_MOUNT_CONTROL command in a flight mission. With an assumption of the gimbal is connected to Flight Controller, is this command control the gimbal with certain angles (as like Azimuth, Pitch, Tilt) at the waypoint?

What if, the gimbal is connected to RC receiver, is the DO_MOUNT_CONTROL unavailable?

Is there anyone to help to explain about DO_MOUNT_CONTROL command in detail?

Thanks everyone.

The DO_MOUNT_CONTROL mavlink message only works if the gimbal is connected to the flight controller AND the flight controller parameters for the mount are active and correct.
