Centering and play issues in the Archer 1 gimbal yoke bearing axis
ما توصّل إليه النقاش
- The Archer 1 can develop unwanted play in the yoke bearing axis between the gimbal and yoke fork that causes the rig to shift out of level when tilted past certain angles.
- Thin shims inserted between the yoke and gimbal on the appropriate sides can be used to eliminate the play and restore acceptable centering, following the Ultra gimbal centering manual procedure.
- Multiple shims of varying thickness may be needed to achieve proper alignment, requiring iterative testing and adjustment.
- A quick shimming solution may restore functionality for immediate use but may not represent a permanent fix, and professional factory service is recommended for complete resolution.
- Keeping spare shims in the kit allows for emergency adjustments on set if misalignment occurs.
يعتمد على
- This is specific to the Archer 1 model, which lacks adjusting screws on the yoke present on later models like the Archer 2 and Ultra 2.
- The solution represents a temporary workaround rather than a definitive repair.
- The procedure requires access to shims and the Ultra gimbal centering manual, and successful alignment depends on careful trial and error with different shim combinations.
- The user notes the outcome was acceptable but not perfect.
