3.3 Repeated Intermittent Step Mode

Applicable scenarios: Multi-angle batch commodity photography

Remote operation: First press target angle key, then trigger repeat step composite key. The turntable circulates: rotate fixed angle → default 4s pause → rotate again. Note: Pause duration can only be modified via PC or mobile App, remote cannot adjust this parameter.

Software operation: Tick intermittent rotation option, input rotation angle, pause time and loop count, click Run to launch cyclic intermittent motion.

3.4 Pendulum Swing Mode

Applicable scenarios: Jewelry, craft dynamic preview shooting

Remote operation: Confirm current position as swing midpoint first, press angle key then swing mode key. The turntable reciprocates within the set angle range, pauses at two limit points then auto-reverses direction.

Software operation: Select swing function, input swing angle range and pause interval, activate swing cycle.

3.5 360° Equal Segmentation Full-Circle Mode

Applicable scenarios: Product 360° ring shot, complete object 3D scanning

Remote operation: Press digital shortcut (4/8/16/36/48/144), the system divides 360° evenly according to the number key, pauses after each segment, and auto stops after one full rotation.

Software operation: Use built-in digital shortcut buttons or manually input segmentation quantity to customize full-circle segmented rotation tasks.
