How to control an IP camera with a joystick without spamming messages?

Question

I'd like a recommandation on how to approach the problem I'm facing as a software developer.

Context:

I have an IP Camera that can be moved with a PTZ (Pan, Tilt, Zoom) command that can be called like so:

PTZ(float pan, float tilt, float zoom)

I have a joystick that update its input values every ~0.0001 sec and the available input values are:

• joystickX: from -1(left) to 1(right) 0 being the center
• joystickY: from -1(down) to 1(up) 0 being the center
• joystickMagnitude: from 0(untouched) to 1(completely pushed)
• zoomButton+: pressed(zoomValue = 1) or not
• zoomButton-: pressed(zoomValue = -1) or not

Right now, every time the joystick values are updated, a message to the camera is sent, so it's kinda spamming the camera every ~0.0001 sec with PTZ messages.

Ex:

• Joystick input value update
• PTZ(joystickX*joystickMagnitude, joystickY*joystickMagnitude, zoomValue) message sent
• Repeat in ~0.0001 sec

Question:

What would be the best approach to be able to control the camera with the joystick without spamming PTZ messages?

Here's what I have so far:

So yeah

    }
    else

        MessageBox.Show("The controller could not be connected.");
    }
}

{
    _xboxController = null;
    Application.Idle -= HandleApplicationIdle;
    MessageBox.Show("The controller has been disconnected.");
}

{
    //Update xbox controller properties

    if (!_xboxController.Update())
    {
        //Stop the loop
        DisconnectXboxController();
    }
}

private void Render()
{
    //Render changes made to the xbox controller properties
    try
    {
        if (_xboxController.LeftThumb.Magnitude != 0)
        {
            _moving = true;
            _camera.PostPTZContinuous(

        else
