# Protips, Limitations, and Troubleshooting

## First things first

{% hint style="success" %}
The OGI Payload is supported in Astro firmware version 1.9.1 or later. Update your Astro!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Make sure to update the Pilot Pro controller to the latest version, too!
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
When powered on, the Ventus OGI may take about 10 minutes to cool down and calibrate. If you power off for only a short time, the calibration time is reduced. You do not have to wait for the cooldown to be completed before taking the flight.

## #Protips

{% hint style="success" %}
Slow speed mode makes the gimbal easier to control when zooming in.
{% endhint %}

Learn about it under the [Rate Controls](/ecosystem/controller/pilot-pro/operating-handbook/rate-controls.md) section

{% hint style="warning" %}
Be careful not to become disoriented when flying with the camera zoomed in. We recommend resetting the camera zoom to 1x before flying to a new inspection location.
{% endhint %}

## Limitations

#### Gimbal

{% hint style="warning" %}
Do not hot-swap or plug in the gimbal when the aircraft is powered on. This can damage the aircraft or gimbal.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Make sure you are using the correct vibration isolator
{% endhint %}

More details can be found in the [Smart Dovetail Isolator System](/ecosystem/accessories/smart-dovetail-isolator-system.md) section.

## Troubleshooting

#### Gimbal tilt controls are reversed

{% hint style="info" %}
You can invert the gimbal tilt control under the camera settings
{% endhint %}
