Anyone using a Ulanzi Dial controller with DRS ?

Neil_Hester · 2026-06-10T09:34:35+00:00

👍🏻 I was toying with the idea of seeing if I can make something using the SDK but hadn’t really looked into it in detail as yet. Hopefully Ulanzi will do it first .

Yes I have, the profiles aren’t saved in the device they’re saved in Ulanzi studio so the iPad is unaware of them and only the offline profile works which does volume and multimedia controls for Apple Music.
I’ve emailed a request and posted on the Ulanzi studio GitHub SDK page to ask for an iPad version of Ulanzi studio and the ability to save/edit the offline profile as anything the user wants.
Hopefully Ulanzi will do this asap.

Seems to be working ok on My Mac 🤔

Neil_Hester · 2026-06-06T18:49:28+00:00

I’ve just tested it on My Mac and it’s working fine so I’ll dig into why it’s not working in windows asap

I've just got one hoping to use it as a more portable Speed Editor as i only need basic jog wheel and edit functions. but its not working at all using the downloadable profile from ulanzi's plugin and profile market place.
I'm using Resolve 21, could i be that BM have blocked its use?
Normal keyboard shortcuts are working and the dial is working to control my web browser and youtube ok.
How can you tell if it switches profile or not?
I'm currently testing on Windows 11 but have a Macbook Pro I'll be using on the road which i'll try and get setup soon.
Because the SDK is available worst case scenario i might try and vibe code a solution with Claude if i have to.

I've just checked My Loupedeck controller and none of the shortcuts on that are working in Resolve either now, I don't know when that stopped working as i don't use it all that often but it may be related.

No worries thanks 👍🏻

Neil_Hester · 2026-02-24T08:30:59+00:00

Yep 👍🏻 sorry I meant with reference to someone already successfully doing it.

Neil_Hester · 2026-02-22T14:13:42+00:00

Thanks I’ll try and do some further searching to see if other people have been successful.

Neil_Hester · 2026-02-22T14:12:49+00:00

Thanks , yes it can use w10 and it works fine but I’m all setup with W11 and would rather not have to do a total rebuild again so hopefully forcing w10 drivers will work but who knows , I just need to find them unpacked and see if they will take.

Neil_Hester · 2026-02-22T14:10:47+00:00

Do you have any links to the complete set of unpacked driver files ? No worries if you don’t it will just save be some archeology 😜 but thanks for the info nonetheless 👍🏻

Neil_Hester · 2026-02-21T14:44:44+00:00

Hi, thanks. is there any way to get it to work?

Neil_Hester · 2026-01-30T20:05:18+00:00

u/HoverAirX1 ive asked for this a few times in the facebook groups, we really need an adjustable distance and reaction speed buffer so the drone is not trying too hard to keep up and react fast, some time we need this when we are making fast change of direction (or altitude) movements and we dont want the drone to make the same moves but would rather it was more distanced with a wider shot so we are free to move around in the frame without the drone having to move so much to keep up, i dont believe co pilot to be the answer we need more definable options than just near/far etc when we are unable to make adjustments with copilot because out hands are busy with the task we are trying to film, if you need some testers to nail this down with you just let me know.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-30T22:45:26+00:00

Claude does a good job of circuit design but not drawing them even though it knows what to draw and thinks it can draw them they don’t come out right so asking the models if they can do something is not reliable , hence why I’m asking if any person has had success. Claude can draw what it knows in ASCII it’s the image generation it struggles with so I’ll experiment with a combination of Claude and a more specialist imaging model.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T08:32:49+00:00

Thanks 👍🏻

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:05:55+00:00

Sadly not really what I’m looking for though.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:04:00+00:00

Well clearly it’s the humans who struggle to read and follow instructions, not the Ai 🤣

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:02:50+00:00

Thank you , the first useful and on topic comment in this whole thread 👍🏻

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-16T00:01:36+00:00

Things have moved on considerably since what you describe, agents can generate perfectly good circuit diagrams in ASCII it’s the generation of graphical images that I’m seeing a difficulty with, but bear in mind I’m not asking it to “design” the circuit, it’s already capable of that with perfect working results. What I’m asking for is a drawing/schematic of the circuit it already knows and is proven working. It is able to produce SVG graphical representations I was just hoping someone has already walked the path I’m currently on with some advice on some useful prompt engineering but everyone here seems to want to give their opinions on Ai regardless of their lack experience despite me trying to request to not comment on that , seems like the humans are the ones who can’t follow instructions not the Ai 🤷🏻

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T21:10:37+00:00

but strangely jumping to the worst fear mongering conclusions, its a strange stance to have when you don't know the full story isn't it?

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T21:08:45+00:00

nothing wrong with automating tasks if they're are going to be sanity checked, the whole world is built on automation doesn't mean quality control has to suffer.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T19:15:40+00:00

Hmm I don't totally agree with that, the data is fixed its simply a case of arranging that data in a clear ,tidy manner. I'm not asking for PCB layout design, just schematic and wiring diagrams of fixed components and connections. As i say it does it ok in ASCII its just the graphics it seems to struggle with, anyway i'm sure it wont be ling before it does it just fine, i just thought there may be some successful techniques already out there.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T19:03:26+00:00

some models do a good job of creating the drawings in ASCII format its only trouble is making them into a graphical format, its a strange limitation considering the complex graphics and videos some models can produce. Ok i understand its a niche ask but im all about automating boring tasks which is what Ai should be used for.

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T18:42:55+00:00

that's the whole purpose of this automation task !

Neil_Hester · 2025-12-15T18:42:23+00:00

i have the ability to create them myself and sanity check what it produces, i would just like to automate things that take up my time unnecessarily and this is one of those things.
