Proaim Sr. Pan-Tilt Head with 12V Joystick Control 7 DEAD SPOT The knob to the left is marked Dead Spot. Turned all the way to the left (counterclockwise) will create the smallest dead spot. Meaning that the head will begin to move as soon as the smallest deflection of the joystick is made. Moving to the right will increase the area where no power is sent to the head motors. At half way, the dead spot will close again, this helps to avoid crossing the tilt when only pan movement is desired.
