I have found a head-tracker which will work with this Futaba T6EX 6CH radio (DT-3K from Flytron), for those which dont have this tracker here is how i managed to move the camera left/right, up/down. All that will be illustrated in the following text, you will need the Futaba 6EX users manual and and/or look at my schematics.
Here is a list of my channel disposition and usage.
Channel 1 – Rudder Servo,
Channel 2 – Elevator Servo,
Channel 3 – Throttle,
Channel 4 – Pan Servo/AUX2 (see OSD Pro users manual page 3),
Channel 5 – AUX1
Channel 6 – Tilt Servo
