Platform controls have been updated with new toggle switches and a tactile membrane surface, and feature proportional Hall-effect joysticks for all major functions. The new tri-axis joystick controls the primary boom’s up/down, extend/retract and turntable rotate movements; a second tri-axis joystick controls the jib’s up/down, extend/retract and platform rotate movements.
