1 Introduction
1.1 OVERVIEW
The Newton remote head is a fully electronically stabilized, three axis remote camera head with free
pan made for broadcast and film production from cranes, wires, rails and vehicles.
The Newton is designed to be paired with the Dominion remote controller. Connection between
them can be either wireless or wired and the Dominion provides full control of all the functions of the
Newton.
1.2 WARNINGS AND RESERVATIONS
WARNING
Before connecting or turning on the Newton remote head read this manual
carefully.
WARNING
Do not power or charge the Newton controller with anything but external
power supplies delivered and approved by Intuitive Aerial for use with
Newton. Doing so can permanently damage or destroy your Newton.
Newton accepts external power between 12 volt and 26 volt. Powering it
with more than that can permanently damage it.
WARNING
Make sure that the camera and any other equipment is properly secured
before turning on the Newton.
WARNING
The Newton is rain protected but it is not water proof, so do not expose it
to direct spraying water or submersion into water.
WARNING

2 Operation
2.1 UNBOXING AND ASSEMBLY
When delivered the Newton is packed into a hard case with form fitting foam. The top layer has spaces
for auxiliaries and cables while the Newton itself is placed in the second layer. It is recommended to
use the hard case for storage and transport to reduce the risk of any damage to the head.
Unbox the Newton by pulling it straight up out of the foam and place it on a stable base or directly
attach it to the place it will be used, such as crane arm or rail system. Make sure it is securely attached.
The remote head has one detachable part, the camera cradle (point 18) and dovetail (point 19), that is
removed when packing it into the hard case. Reattach it by engaging the cradle release clamp and then
sliding it straight down all the way until it is attached.

If using a long lens it is recommended to mount a forward lens support on rods; 15mm rods for lens
support or focus/iris/zoom motors can be attached to the dovetail base. After attaching the camera,
attach any auxilary devices such as focus/iris/zoom systems, interface dongles and cabling. Make sure
everything is tightly attached and cannot move or vibrate and strap together all cables tightly with cable
straps or Velcro.
! NOTICE !
It is highly recommended to always use a top mount on the camera, or a
full cage solution that gives the same function. The extra rigidity such a
solution gives is very important for optimal stabilization.
2.2.2 EXTERNAL CONNECTORS
Newton has a number of connectors, both on the pan box base and on the camera cradle. A few
of these provide direct pass-through functionality such as the two HD-SDI/BNC connectors and the
pass-through ethernet1 , while others are part of the control interface.
The control Ethernet connection on the pan box is used for connecting by Ethernet cable to the
Dominion controller.
The IACAN connectors, both the one on the pan box and on the camera cradle, are both used for
firmware upgrades and to connect camera/lens interface dongles.
Finally the power connections; the power in on the pan box is used to power the Newton. The
power out on the pan box is an unregulated output from either the batteries or the external power in,
whichever provides a higher voltage. The cradle power output is a regulated 15V output. To protect
the internal wiring of the Newton is has a limited output power, it is limited to 67 watt when running
on 12 volts, 84 watt when running on 15 volt and 105 watt when running on 20 volts or higher.
2.2.3 BALANCING
In order to use the Newton the head must be properly balanced. First and foremost the balance must
be done so that the motor can stabilize the payload, too much offset in one axis can make it impossible
to steer and stabilize that particular axis. The more meticulously balanced to head is the better the
stabilization will work especially in highly dynamic environments.
Before you start the process of balancing the Newton you need to make sure that everything that’s
needed is mounted to the head as the addition accessories will affect the balance. Remember to loosen
any top mounts and similar before trying to balance the camera and to re-tighten them when done.

Figure 2.2: Balancing
Front-back balance
The first step is to adjust the front-back balance. Start by releasing the front-back lock clamp (point
21) and then push the adjustment pin button and move the camera package to the fixed position where
the balance is the best. Release the pin and then use the adjustment knob (point 20) on the side of the
cradle to do the last fine adjustments.
Some camera/lens setups that are long and front-heavy may need counterweights or a special camera cage in order to be able to balance it properly.
Vertical Balance
Rotate the tilt axis 90° forward or backwards. Release the lock (point 16) and adjust the vertical slider
(point 14) until good balance is achieved. To test the front-back and vertical balance, rotate the camera around the tilt axis to different angles and check if it stays in same angle. If not, make further
adjustments of balance.
Roll Balance
The roll balance is adjusted with the same knob (point 20) that was used for doing fine adjustments in
tilt. Make sure the front-back lock (point 21) is closed and loosen up the horizontal slider side-to-side
lock (point 5).

Pan Balance
The pan balance can be adjusted by turning the knob (point 7) on the back of the spine. Start by
loosening the pan lock (point 23), if the head is standing the spine will start to move sideways so its
important to prevent the head from tipping to the side. It’s recommended to have one person holding
the head while another do the pan adjustment to mitigate this risk.
By tipping the base of the head slightly to its side it should not move if the head is balanced. If the
back of the head moves to the opposite side it is back heavy and the knob should be turned clockwise.
If the moves to the other side the head is front heavy and the knob should be turned counter clockwise.
2.3 STARTING AND CONNECTING
Before turning on the Newton make sure everything is securely attached and that the system is balanced
as per the previous section. Also make sure batteries are properly attached or external power-in is
connected.
Turn on the Newton using the power switch (point 12). When starting up the system will perform
a calibration of the gyros to get the best possible performance. During this time the head should be
kept as still as possible. The less the head moves during start up the faster the calibration is. It usually
takes around 5 to seconds 10 and worse case is up to 25 seconds.
The Newton is made to be controlled from the Dominion remote controller. For detailed information on how to establish connection between them, either wireless or wired, please see “Dominion
User Guide”.
2.4 TUNING
When setting up the Newton, after attaching the camera and carefully balance it, the remote head needs
to be tuned for the specific setup to get good stabilization and avoid vibrations. The tuning depends on
on the mass distribution of the whole camera and lens package (including any other devices attached to
it) so while general guidelines and rough values can be provided for a specific setup, it is still required
that a full tuning is done after assembly.
Tuning is done through the user interface on the Dominion controller, in the settings menu, Remote tuning tab. For each axis there are three principal tuning parameters and one auxiliary parameter.
The parameters are:
P Controls how strongly a disturbance or steering input is compensated. The main tuning parameter.
I Compensates for residual errors on longer movements.
D Dampens reaction to quick external disturbances.
Pos Gain Controls how quickly the head returns to correct position after a larger deviation.
The recommended procedure for tuning the Newton is as follows:
1. Make sure the remote head and camera is balanced and that nothing is loose or rattles
2. Set the P, I, and D for all axes to a low value. A good starting point is (4, 0.05, 0) for tilt, (3.5,
0.05, 0) for roll and (10, 0.05, 0) for pan
3. Doing one axis at a time, in the order tilt, roll, pan, tune:
3.1 Increase P until a high frequency oscillation begins, then back down to 80% of the value.
Use the controller and move the axis from endpoint to endpoint, if oscillations begin at
any angle reduce the P value further

NEWTON
USER MANUAL
10
3.2 Increase I until a low frequency oscillation begins, then back down to 80% of the value.
Again check if there is any angle that is more prone to oscillation and if so reduce the I
further
3.3 Check that the head responds well to external disturbances by pressing lightly on the axis.
If the remote head is prone to oscillation when returning to the starting position, increasing
D to about 5-10 should dampen it
4. After all axes are tuned, return and check so that there is no angle more prone to oscillation. If
so, repeat the entire process for all three axes.
2.5 USER INTERFACE
The graphical user interface is the way to interact with and get feedback from the Newton locally. User
feedback is given on the display (point 10) and input is given using the buttons next to it (point 10). The
exact functionality of the buttons are context dependent and displayed at the bottom of the display.

2.6.1 STOW ENCODER
There are two different ways that the Stow mode on the Newton can work. When STOW ENCODER
setting is set to “DISABLED” the stabilization will be disabled and all motors turned off. When
“ENABLED” the stabilization will remain in a basic mode and use encoders to hold the camera in a
neutral position.
2.6.2 MAX/MIN ANGLES
These settings allow updating of the software limits for control.
The angles given for min/max angle is IMU/world angles, not angles of the joints of the head.
2.6.3 ANGLE CORRECTION
In some cases there might be a small deviation between what the camera sees as zero-angle and what
the electronic control system considers zero-angle. In that case a small correction can be applied by
adjusting the ANGLE CORR settings.
2.6.4 PAN FOLLOW MODE
When follow mode is active the camera follows the base of the Newton. This can be useful for instance
when Newton is mounted on a car, the camera will follow the rotation of the car. Follow mode can
also be used to remove pan bias drift when the base of the Newton is not rotating, for instance when
mounted on a straight rail system. The PAN FOLLOW STRENGTH option controls how tightly
the camera follows the base.
2.6.5 AUTOMATIC PAN DRIFT COMPENSATION
Automatically correct for pan bias drift when the base of the Newton is stationary. When turned on
the Newton must be mounted such that the pan box does not rotate in pan. The adaptive mode can
be used regardless how the Newton is mounted.

3 Maintenance
The Newton is a highly technical and very precise equipment with high requirements on exactness and
internal tolerances. In addition it contains weather sealing. For this reason it is not recommended to
ever disassemble the Newton or try to perform maintenance on any internal parts.
3.1 CLEANING
Clean the Newton externally using a soft, and if needed slight damp, cloth. If it is very dirty, use a mild
detergent such as washing up soap.
WARNING
Do not use any cleaning agents containing alcohols, acids or other
corrosive chemicals. Using such cleaning agents might damage the coating
and/or the display surface.
3.2 FIRMWARE UPDATE
Firmware updates are distributed by Intuitive Aerial in a single ZIP archive that contains software for
Newton, Dominion and the required updater application for Windows and OSX. Before updating
please read the attached release notes for any specific information pertaining to that release. When
upgrading the Newton, make sure to also update any FIZC dongles and the Dominion to a matching
version.
To upgrade the Newton remote head, follow the procedure below:
1. Connect the USB/CAN dongle to the CAN port on the pan-box of the Newton
2. Start the upgrade application, named “firmware_gui.exe” on Windows or “firmware_gui.app”
on OSX.
3. Follow the instructions in the wizard. When asked for firmware file, select “newton_<version>.zfw” in the firmware folder
4. When finished, restart the Newton
3.3 CALIBRATION
When delivered the Newton is factory calibrated. Normally this calibration will not need to be redone,
however sometimes long usage, big cyclic changes in temperature or upgrades to new firmware will
make a re-calibration necessary. The calibration options can be reached from the Remote service
settings tab in the Dominion, which is part of the service mode1
If unsure, do not perform any calibrations unless directed to by Intuitive Aerial support staff.

3.3.1 ZERO ANGLE CALIBRATION
Zero angle calibration serves to record the neutral, zero angle, positions of the joints. This is needed
both for the “STOW” mode but also for correct operation of the stabilization. To set the zero angle
calibration:
1. Hang the Newton from a stable mounting point
2. Make sure both Newton and Dominion are turned on and connected
3. Activate “START ZERO ANGLE” in the Dominion
4. Position the Newton so that all angles are at their neutral zero position
5. Press “FINISH” on the Dominion to complete the calibration. Press “CANCEL” to abort the
operation
3.3.2 MOTOR ALIGNMENT
1. Place the Newton with the pan box down on a stable work surface or table. Do not attach any
camera.
2. Make sure both Newton and Dominion are turned on and connected
3. Activate “START ALIGN” in the Dominion
3.3.3 REALIGN IMU - EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE
If the Horizon of the Newton is off the IMU can be realigned. Note that the Newton should be kept
still when doing this.
3.3.4 ZERO ROLL - EXPERIMENTAL FEATURE
Zero roll allows for manual correction of the horizon.
1. Go to roll velocity mode
2. Adjust the roll angle with the joystick until the horizon is correct, then press ZERO ROLL
3. Now turn 90 degrees in pan. Repeat step 2. and the horizon is corrected
3.3.5 IMU ANGLE CORRECTION
The “TILT/PAN/ROLL ANGLE CORR” settings allows to correct for any angular difference between the IMU and the stabilized payload. This is initially calibrated at the factory and should normally
not have to be changed.
