Camera motion control system with variable autonomy

A method of generating a motor control signal comprising:

• receiving an analog input from an analog control input mechanism;
• receiving content from a cloud computing network wherein receiving content comprises purchasing or accessing a stored digital input for the digital input control mechanism wherein the digital control input mechanism comprises at least a user interface configured to receive the digital input:
• synthesizing the analog input and the digital input to generate an output, wherein synthesizing comprises applying a first input to a second input, wherein the first and second inputs comprise one of the analog input or the digital input, utilizing the stored digital input obtained from the cloud computing network as a component of the synthesized output:
• and
• utilizing the output to generate the motor control signal, wherein the motor control signal has characteristics of both the analog input and the stored digital input factored in combination.

A control system comprising:

• an analog control input mechanism configured to receive an analog control input from a user;
• a digital control input mechanism configured to receive a stored digital control input from a cloud computing network, wherein receiving comprises purchasing or accessing the stored digital input for the digital input control mechanism wherein the digital control input mechanism and the analog control input mechanism are integrated together as one unit, and wherein the analog control input communicates indirectly to the control circuit board through the digital control input mechanism;
• and
• a control circuit board that receives the inputs from both the analog and the digital control input mechanism and generates a single control signal that is a composite of the received analog control input and the stored digital control input.
