The camera follows.
You run the show.
GimbalPilot turns a DJI RS gimbal and the camera you already own into an AI auto-tracking PTZ. It finds the speaker, follows them, and keeps the framing — while your volunteers watch the stream instead of a joystick.
WINDOWS + MACOS · RUNS 100% LOCALLY · NO EXTRA HARDWARE
No PTZ camera. No tablet. No operator.
Your camera's video goes into the laptop; Bluetooth commands go out to the gimbal and the lens. Everything in between is GimbalPilot.

A PTZ camera, minus the PTZ camera
Auto-tracking PTZ cameras cost $1,500–3,500 and still shoot worse video than the mirrorless you already own. GimbalPilot is the software half you were missing.
AI speaker tracking
Click a person once. On-device AI keeps them framed through walks, turns and lighting changes — and re-acquires them if they step out of view.
Automatic framing
Pairs with your Sony camera over Bluetooth for true variable-speed zoom. Set a shot size once; the framing holds as the speaker moves.
Grab control anytime
Touch a gamepad stick and you're flying the camera. Let go, and tracking takes back over two heartbeats later. No modes, no fumbling.
Simple by default
Volunteers get four controls on a Sunday morning. Operators unlock an Advanced mode with full regulator tuning, deadzones and auto-tune.
More than people
Track a ball, a pet, a horse, a car. Same one-click lock-on, powered by the same on-device detection models.
No cloud, no lag
Everything runs on your machine — video never leaves the room. Works on a mid-range laptop; uses your NVIDIA GPU when there is one.
Three steps to a self-flying camera
Connect the gimbal
Power on your DJI RS 3 Mini and GimbalPilot finds it over Bluetooth. No phone, no tablet, no Ronin app in the loop.
Pair the camera
A guided screen links your Sony body for variable-speed zoom. No compatible camera? Skip it — tracking works without zoom.
Click the speaker
Pick your video feed, click the person on screen, done. The gimbal follows them for the rest of the service.
