Super interesting project and impressive engineering. It wasn't quite clear to me how he solved the problem with
> Their motors are designed for slow, dampened pans across a stage, not for tracking a jet moving at 300 knots. The mechanical and electronics latency is significant; if you simply tell the camera to “follow that plane,” by the time the motors react, the target has often moved out of the frame.
Is he able to move the motors faster than they are designed to be moved? Is this the __Control (PID + Feed-Forward Loop)__ fix?
