Center of gravity positioning and dynamic balance setup for a Merlin2 gimbal
ما توصّل إليه النقاش
- The camera's center of gravity should be positioned slightly behind the gimbal, approximately a quarter inch or 6 millimeters back.
- Once drop-time is properly adjusted, the dynamic balance becomes adequate for practical use.
- The Merlin2 gimbal has construction limits that prevent it from achieving full-rotation whip-pans.
- A successful drop-time test where the camera falls flat indicates proper balance has been achieved.
- The manufacturer's cookbook documentation contains setup guidance applicable to both small and large stabilizer rigs.

- This configuration is specific to the Merlin2 model.
- The example measurement comes from one user's setup with a specific camera and lens combination.
- Drop-time testing is necessary to verify that theoretical center of gravity positioning translates to practical balance.
