Gimbal balance issues on stabilizer rig resolved by repairing post-to-stage connection
17 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Operating a stabilizer without camera weight can reveal gimbal problems that become apparent when the equipment is tilted in different directions.
- Inability to achieve dynamic balance on a stabilizer may indicate a structural problem with the gimbal assembly.
- A warped or improperly attached connection between the post and stage can cause the stabilizer to become unbalanced in multiple planes simultaneously.
Depends on
- This issue was specific to one particular rig and may not be universal.
- The solution was implemented under warranty and the exact repair procedure is not detailed.
- Discussion is from 2009 and refers to older equipment models.
