# General

FlytBase general settings are the basic configurations for the drone that the operator can set. These settings include preferences, default drone controls, advanced drone controls, and gimbal controls. 

{% hint style="info" %}
These general settings are default set by FlytBase but can be changed as per the operator's requirement.
{% endhint %}

* Once the drone has been added and is online on the FlytBase dashboard, click on **Settings** from the right corner of the screen.
* In **Settings**, select a drone from the drop-down box at the top left corner of the settings. Then select **generals**.

### Gimbal Controls

* **Gimbal controls** allow the operator to adjust the pitch sensitivity and pan sensitivity, which determines the speed at which the gimbal will pitch and pan during a mission.
